I really love A Christmas Carol as my Mum used to read it me every year when I was younger
An old obscure Novel called Ego which is my go to cheer me up feeling down novel.
My favourite novel is The Time Traveller’s Wife because not only is it an amazing love story, but it also deals very cleverly with the concept of time travel which fascinates me.
My favourite is Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte – it’s a classic and I can read it over and over again! :)
High Fidelity I’ve read it a 100 times
The Secret Daughter by Diane Chamberlain. It was the first Diane Chamberlain novel I read and it has stayed with me because of the story
The Best a Man Can Get – it’s really, really funny!
Gone Girl because it was pure brilliance and unputdownable
Little Women because it is so relevant even today
Getting it in the Head – Mike McCormack. I read it when I was young and it still resonates with me today
P.S. I Love You, such a good but sad book as well as a movie xx
Lee Child’s Jack Reacher books.
The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Alborn – lovely interesting kept me hooked book
Kensuke’s Kingdom – Michael Morpurgo because it appeals to both children and adults alike (quite a rare phenomenon I think) It is full of highs, lows and mystery and leaves the reader wanting questions answered.
Pride and Prejudice – it’s so romantic and a classic
GONE Girl – it’s epic!
The Witches by Roald Dahl I just love learning how to guess if a woman is a witch! I thought it was very funny, and I read it when I was very small and can still remember most of it! So, it must be very memorable!
I really love Tom Thumb, I had this book when I was a child, I still have and sometimes I will read it now. I love it because it is a heart warming story
To Kill a Mockingbird. Even the dissecting and over analysing at school couldn’t detract from a brilliant story
A favourite novel of mine is The Night Circus which is a fantasy about a magical circus and its performers
stephen king books
Bram Stokers Dracula x
GONE Girl – it’s epic
My favourite novel is Random Acts of Heroic Love because it is wonderfully written, is based on the true story of the author’s grandfather and tells the story of how far someone will go for the one they love.
My sisters keeper, I love the plot twists.
I loved – Last letter from your lover – It was a book I won when it came I read the back and thought oh no this is not my sort of thing but started reading anyway – I was gripped and read the whole book in 3 days !
“My Sister’s Keeper” by Jodi Picoult The story is so relevant in today’s society and really made me think what I would do if it was one of my children that was ill. I also enjoyed the completely unexpected ending.
When Breath Becomes Air
by Paul Kalanithi – inspired me, made me cry and made me realised who lucky I really am.
