OK
so I have just finished the Fifty shades triology and much to various and differing opinions I am one of those who really enjoyed them. I found particulary with the 2nd and third book I couldn't put them down and became so engrossed in them that I simply had to keep reading to see what happens next. I am after some recommendations of books you have read that you simply couldn't put down , really good reads, just any good book from any genre TIA |

Try the Sylvia Day Crossfire series, it is like the grown up version of 50shades, better written as well. I just finished book two and could not put it down. I was another that didn't mind 50shades but this series tops it hands down.

Me before you by Jojo Moyes was fantastic. I personally love Marian Keyes too - most of her book I can't put down. Goodnight beautiful by Dorothy Koomson is another one I could not put down.

I have just finished "Say You're Sorry" by Michael Robotham - it's a great read if you like murder and mayhem.

I have just finished The Hunger Games series, written more for a younger generation but I still enjoyed it, often staying up way way too late to read a little more.
If you like fantasy, Battleaxe by Sara Douglass is a good one, it is the first in the Axis trilogy which then carries on through other series that she penned. |

Anything by John Grisham.
Agree with Marian Keyes The Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. They are up to 18 though so you have to be dedicated. I love The Power of One by Bryce Courtney. Long time ago since I read that. There are heaps more but I have a terrible memory. |

I also liked the Hunger Games books.
I am currently reading the new JK Rowling book 'The Casual Vacancy' and I can't put it down. |
