blueberry_pie Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 (edited) Hey everyone! I am new here and the main reason I joined this book forum (besides the love for the books) is, because I need your recommendations. Recently I became a HUGE fan of Douglas Kennedy. I already have all his books and actually I am reading the last one - the Woman in the Fifth. Since not all of his books are translated in my language, which is Bulgarian, I read them in English. I must admit that I am more than happy about that. My most favorite one is The Pursuit of the Happiness. So I will be really both grateful and happy, if you recommend me books that I might like. P.S. I'm going to Brussels next week and will hit the books stores with your recommendations. Edited September 7, 2008 by blueberry_pie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janet Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 So I will be really both grateful and happy, if you recommend me books that I might like. Hello and welcome to the forum. I've only read one Douglas Kennedy so far. My Mum's a fan of his though and she also likes Rosie Thomas and Nicholas Evans, so they may be worth looking at? Hope you have a nice time in Belgium.

Ceinwenn Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 (edited) Welcome blueberry_pie! I've never read any Douglas Kennedy, but as someone else mentioned Nicholas Evans, I can tell you that his books are good! I've read every one of his & loved them all!

blueberry_pie Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 (edited) OK, this is embarrassing, but I really find difficult to figure this forum's structure out. I don't know how to reply to visitors' messages. Any help is welcome. 'The Pursuit of Happiness' is really the book that grab my soul, my heart... it really moved me emotionally, something that I haven't felt because of a book last years. That's why I'm looking for other books like this one. Actually, after I dig a little in this forum and had read some of other people's reviews, I decided to buy some books of Maggie O'Farrell, Jonathan Coe and also Nicholas Evans.
