I have all of Stephen King's books and I love all of them, except for Revival. That was too depressing for words. He has a new one coming out in May. But for me his best is The Stand. Another good one is a collection of short stories 'Different Seasons'. and if you like vampire stories 'Salems Lot' is a good book too.

Too glam to give a damn

I've also read Misery, which was great to read in parts. It has a slow beginning though, and I found getting through its ending quite difficult. The film is much better, and I don't say that often. |

@ both - I read those recently. A month or two ago I guess. I think I'd probably say I prefer One Day too, the ending caught me by surprise though.Right now I've just finished some nonsense thriller ('The Missing' by CL Taylor - it was captivating I guess but also quite poorly written and a little bit...immature? I'm not sure. Didn't have any poetry or beauty to it. Just felt like listening in on a gossip) and have now just started Donna Tartt's 'The Little Friend'... didn't realise quite how long it was compared to The Secret History / The Goldfinch but those two are probably two of the best novels I've ever read so I figured it'd be foolish not to give her other one a try.

I've read most of James Herbert's The Rats.
The concept is very interesting, in particular the story really picks up once it hits the sewers with Harris and Ferris, they've really made the Rats an intimidating foe, I also love how James Herbert describes the settings when the Rats attack. I've got just under 30 pages left.

I was reading Black Water Lilies by Michael Bussi, it was a real struggle to get through the first 2/3 but I think it was just because it was based now in France, so there was a lot of French names/street names/towns etc, but the last third of the book was brilliant, didn't see it ending how it did and I almost teared up a little bit, I don't think anyone who reads it would see the twist at the end coming, I almost want to reread it now, knowing what I know and see how clever it all is, definitely recommend
9/10I tatted Lying in Wait by Liz Nugent on Wednesday and finished it this morning, I was expecting a lot more because a lot of the reviews said "Gone Girl fans will love this etc" and it builds it up as something that it isnt, it was ok, but not great 5/10 I've got a choice of 3 to go from now, American Gods, Big Little Lies or The Couple Next Door

I'm currently on the fourth book in the Song of Ice and Fire series. It's a long slog but I'm enjoying it! I'm not sure whether I'll watch the TV show afterwards or not because I'd rather experience the ending through the books.
George RR Martin doesn't die before he releases a Dream of Spring.

Call Me By Your Name, I'm hoping the film is better than the book, it's just pretentious smut atm.
