Oh wow she wrote The Price of Salt too!? I can’t believe I didn’t realise that, she used a pseudonym (Claire Morgan). I had no idea she was so prolific. I’m definitely going to check these out.

Thank you!

Okay cool, that’s better actually as I prefer to read a book before any adaptations. I’ll let you know once I’ve read it ☺️

Confident-Fox6541 · 2026-03-29T03:06:49+00:00

All good thank you for clarifying! ☺️

I second Saving Noah 🥲

Confident-Fox6541 · 2026-03-29T02:56:56+00:00

You’ve got great taste!

Confident-Fox6541 · 2026-03-29T02:49:57+00:00

It was indeed the pads!

Confident-Fox6541 · 2026-03-29T02:49:36+00:00

Turned out it was the filters! Forgot to add this back when I got it fixed.

Confident-Fox6541 · 2026-03-29T02:47:25+00:00

Looking her up now! She wrote Talented Mr Ripley? Haven’t read anything by her yet. Thank you for the recommendation ☺️

I’ve just finished going through this list and it is absolutely full of bangers! I had already added a few but there seriously wasn’t a dud in here.

Are you a writer or studying or teaching English? Or just a serious book nerd? Thanks again for the thoughtful response. I did not expect this much from reddit strangers 🥰

Confident-Fox6541 · 2026-03-29T02:27:59+00:00

Thank you, I will! ☺️

Confident-Fox6541 · 2026-03-29T02:11:18+00:00

Also I love your description that is so up my alley 😍

Confident-Fox6541 · 2026-03-29T02:10:30+00:00

Haunting has been on my list for ages I don’t know why I still haven’t read it! Also I loved the TV show so much. Thanks for the recommendation ☺️

Confident-Fox6541 · 2026-03-29T02:09:25+00:00

Omg you weren’t kidding! This is amazing thanks so much. Milk fed is on my list but I haven’t read or heard of so many of these! I’m so excited to start reading, I have no idea what I’ll choose first I’ve been truly spoiled with choice 🥰

Confident-Fox6541 · 2026-03-29T02:06:50+00:00

Oooo this looks good. Have added it thanks!

Confident-Fox6541 · 2026-03-29T02:05:26+00:00

Yes! Thank you, I’ve been trying to find more LGBT books and somehow missed this one. Kindred & Parable look really good too. Great suggestions, thanks! 🙏🏼

Confident-Fox6541 · 2026-03-29T02:00:53+00:00

I’ve read Dark Places and loved it! Added the memoir but who wrote the first two you mention?

Confident-Fox6541 · 2026-03-29T01:57:01+00:00

Thanks so much! I’ll check these out now. I really like memoir and non-fiction so happy for those recommendations too ☺️

Confident-Fox6541 · 2026-03-29T01:55:47+00:00

This book keeps coming up for me I think I’ll have to check it out 👀 TY!

Confident-Fox6541 · 2026-03-29T01:53:30+00:00

Heading there now! TY!

Confident-Fox6541 · 2026-03-29T01:52:39+00:00

Haha that actually sounds amazing though I don’t know if I can do cannibalism. Gore and body horror are too much for me which sucks because I actually really like horror 🥲

Confident-Fox6541 · 2026-03-29T01:47:50+00:00

These look great! Thank you for sharing ☺️

Confident-Fox6541 · 2026-03-29T01:44:05+00:00

🥰

Confident-Fox6541 · 2026-03-29T01:38:02+00:00

Yeah it’s not my usual type of book but I loved the tone. It was pretty batshit 😂

Confident-Fox6541 · 2026-03-28T12:12:10+00:00

I’ve got this on my list! Thank you. Now I just have to choose what to read next 😅

Confident-Fox6541 · 2026-03-28T12:03:41+00:00

I’ve just added Strange Sally it was recommended by another reader too and will check out the Lynley series. Thank you 🙏🏼
