Book recommendations

by Clare Williams
23rd November 2016

Hi everyone. Having a few weeks off from writing my ms so I can come back to it with fresh eyes. In the meantime I'm planning to read as much as I can. I usually read thriller/ chick lit although I do enjoy the classics too, and will read pretty much anything. Does anyone have any book suggestions? In particular anything which might help stretch my critical eye?

Thanks

Not to mention the fact that Seth makes you both feel for the hero AND want to throttle him (for how he treats the Love of his life). - Jimmy

Absolutely spot on!

Thankyou for all the recommendations everyone, they will keep me very busy! I've not read any of them except for the time travellers wife which I agree is a fantastic book!

Jimmy, I only hope that you, and many others, get to read that thriller by Clare Williams some day!
