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?

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.

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."
