Howl's Moving Castle
Diana Wynne Jones
Old favorites that I like to dip back into after a hard day — “Howl’s Moving Castle,” by Diana Wynne Jones, would fall into that category.

The Viscount Who Loved Me [Tv Tie-In]: Bridgerton
Julia Quinn
Here's the thing - a lot of Austen is funny, but Persuasion isn't. It's sad, wistful and full of regret. If Netflix want a funny regency novel for the Bridgerton treatment, why not go with Northanger Abbey? Or literally ANY Georgette Heyer who has about 7 million unadapted books?

Recursion
Blake Crouch
Very late to the party but I just read Recursion by @blakecrouch1 as a little break from crime, and wow, what an excellently twisted thriller. Mind-bending in the best sense.

@Dwaterhousebook A book of mine, or in general? Of mine, they could start with any, I'd just go with whatever setting most appeals. In general, Erin Kelly's The Skeleton Key is great

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: The Adventure of the Speckled Band
Arthur Conan Doyle
On what book got her hooked on psychological thrillers: "My entry drug, one of the first real “crime” stories I encountered, was Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Adventure of the Speckled Band.” My mum read it to me and my sister as a bedtime story…and I had nightmares for weeks."
