You know the book that you couldn't put down and couldn't wait to get back to?

STILL MISSING (Chevy Stevens) not that long ago, but right now ... THOSE WHO SAVE US!! What about you, Stacey?
I read Stephen Kings "Under the Dome" earlier this year. Good thing it was a page turner, 'cos there were over 1000+ to turn! It'd recommend reading this on a Kindle if you have one - much less heavy.
After not reading Stephen King for a decade or so, I picked up "Under the Dome." Sorry, I disagree. Not a page turner for me.
The last one had to be
I could not put it down!
The Kitchen House or Unbroken. Liked many of the other mentioned, especially Those Who Save Us but these two stood out for me
The two (they are companion books) I just finished:
and its sequel,
by Betty Mahmoody. Both books kept me reading late into the night.

Elise wrote: "Still Missing, hands down."Is this a sequel? Didn't she write another one with a similar title?
Caroline, I think Still Missing is her debut novel.
Still Missing IS Chevy Stevens' debut novel. Her second one, Never Knowing, is due out a week from tomorrow, July 5. Really looking forward to it after being gripped by Still Missing!!
Caroline, I forgot to say that although this next one isn't a sequel, the same therapist featured in Still Missing will be in this one too. I like that idea!

That IS interesting!
Stephen Fry's The Liar seems to be a page turner for me at the moment (it is currently on my desk screaming 'finish me, finish me'!), its utterly brilliant and has had me in stitches
I am currently reading Esther: A Story For Girls by Rosa Nouchette Carey, it's free on Amazon Kindle and a bit old fashioned but I haven't been able to stop reading it.

Got The Hippopotamus to read as well but saving that for a rainy weekend (well day more like but you see what I mean)
Melki wrote: "You put off making tea? Gasp!"Yup it was that good, doesn't happen very often, usually I'm making tea one-handed but this was too good!
