    The Amulet of Samarkand is a YA book but it's such a great read - the author is very witty. If you haven't picked it up yet you should give it a try. I have read the series twice and I'm in my 40s. Jonathan Stroud is excellent and has written many bestsellers.

    I love Philippa Gregory and the White Queen! I read almost all of her books about the war of the roses and the Tudors. I am just about to get it to give it as Christmas present to my boyfriend's Grandma that loves reading!

    Oooooo you got Bitten! I love Kelley Armstrong!!! just be aware it’s the 1st in a series “Women of the Other World” there are 13 total! But you can read them without having to read the others.

    'Bitten' by Kelley Armstrong is book #1 in a series. The series is called 'Otherworld'

      Is this series any good? I have been collecting Kelley Armstrong books for years because they sound fascinating, but I have yet to find time to pick one up.

      @@catsaremylife8946 I remember reading the first book in the series "Bitten" and really enjoying it as it was nice to have a werewolf book from the perspective of a female werewolf, and I think I read the next book, but lost interest in the series by the 3rd book. Don't really remember why I lost interest, but I think it wasn't a strong enough storyline to keep my interest.

    Yes Dan Brown are technically in order, but you don’t need to read them in order. They’re one of those book series that had the same protagonist, but they’re all readable in their own right. Helps if you HAVE read the first book, which is The Da Vinci Code as it sets the character - Professor Robert Langdon up. Or just watch the film then read the subsequent books 🤣🤣🤣 They’re very good films!!!

    Roddy Doyle wrote the commitments.there was also a film made of the van if you can track a copy down it's brilliant and just as funny as the commitments. there was also a third book in the series i think called the snapper. all three books are part of the barrytown trilogy.

    That synopsis didn't do the story justice. I've read quite a few of Kelly Armstrong's books and enjoyed them very much. If you like strong family dynamics and werewolves, you'll enjoy this. I read Brilliant by Roddy Doyle a few years ago and really enjoyed his writing.

    Rebus is a series of books. You should check out the tv series with Ken Stott, I really liked it! Not read many of the books though! Dan Brown is a lot of fun, you should give his stuff a go. Best Wishes 💕📚📚

    @Emmkay0715 3 года назад

    I’m completely biased as Dan Brown is one of my favourite authors 😅 but his books are so interesting! If you like learning some things while you read, he does mostly historical fiction (I think that’s the genre) with some drama thrown in there of course. Angels in demons is probably #1 for me, and his book called the Lost Symbol is a close second. I hope you give him a chance! 🙂

    • @xxzhutkiyxx
      @xxzhutkiyxx 3 года назад

      No way! The 'plot twists' are so predictable and the endings always feel rushed.
      Dan Brown stuff can really be hit or miss.

    A hardback box would be awesome. A good selection of books but I'd be disappointed because I've read most of them 😂
    The rebus series by Ian Rankin is amazing it was one of my favourites years ago. I even did a rebus tour in Edinburgh lol.
    True blood was an amazing series until book 9 after that the show came out and the books changed alot to appease fans of the show I thought.
    Dan Brown is mediocre I find.
