Just finished The Woman in the Window AJ Finn and Only Child by Rhiannon Navin
Only Child was a digital book and narrated by a Zach Taylor a 6 year old who survives a school shooting in which his 10 year old brother and 14 others perished. Very touching story of a broken family from the child's view. Haunting.
The Woman in the Window I believe is a book club favourite, worth a read. A film is in the making.
Now listening to the Diary of Anne Frank.

Hi @sheZZa
I used to be like that- I used to be a fast knitter but I've got a cardigan in my bag that's taken about 6 years because of my lack of concentration. Now I'm flooring about like a butterfly. I've started loads of things but finished none. However I've chipped away at it and started to feel some kind of achievement! I'm definitely working on the thing I have reneging and 1x1. I'm getting them finished! Keep it up - 3 pages will soon become half a chapter, then a full chapter and so on. You'll be finished a book before you know it. Is the book a story you are enjoying, cos that's really important, otherwise you're living room starts to feel like school! -
I hope you enjoy the book @sheZZa! Like @bonnielassie said, a few pages at a time will turn into the whole book!

I love reading self help books when I can.

No progress on any of my books lately. No concentration. Have "read" "The Book of Bunny Suicides" (comics, dark dark dark humour). Had it years ago, but housemate brought a copy home last week. Made me *snortlaugh* multiple times.

The Keeper of Lost Things was really entertaining

I need some children’s book recommendations! Any suggestions will be appreciated. The twins are nearly 3 now so books written for the 2-3 age bracket are preferred please.

@April2018mom In case you haven't come across it, 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' by Eric Carle.... children can put their fingers through the holes that the caterpillar munches through. Then there's, 'Where's Spot? by Eric Hill; the great illustrations in the early Tony Ross books, also those illustrated by Richard Scarry, 'Each Peach Pear Plum' & 'The Jolly Postman,' both by Janet and Allan Ahlberg. Classics such as the Beatrix Potter books, Dr Seuss, & Michael Bond's Paddington Bear.

What books would you recommend for a 22 year old adult? I have visited my local library and browsed at bookshops but am struggling to find something new to read.
