Favourite books for escape from reality - POST YOURS!
During this journey I've been big into escaping into fictional worlds. I read myself to sleep (paper books), read while on my exercise machine (ebooks) and listen to narrated works while doing housework, cooking (Audible, etc.). Often I'll have three or four different books on the go at the same time, depending on what I'm doing.
Here are my current favouites for escapism:
'Outlander' series by Diana Gabaldon (eight huge books, with a ninth on its way);
'All Souls Trilogy' by Deborah Harkness
'A Song of Ice and Fire' series by George R.R Martin
The Chief Inspector Armand Gamache Series by Louise Penny
Lighter reads when I can't concentrate well (brain fog):
The 'Hamish Macbeth' series by M C Beaton (short and with a few chuckles);
The 'Agatha Raisin' series also by M C Beaton
The 'All Creatures Great and Small' series by James Herriot
Great Australian escapism:
The 'Strange Worlds' series by Brenda Cheers (four books with a satisfying conclusion).
Post your recommendations! :)
