I am reading "Life after life" by Kate Atkinson. I'm really enjoying it and I know I picked it up on someone's recommendation here. But I cannot find that post now. All I see is posts where people hated it.

This gave me an idea. Since we don't use usernames, how about having a thread of book recommendations. But we only quote our own messages to add to the list. For example, I'd love to know what other books a poster who liked "Life after life" would recommend.

Maybe you’d like the invisible life of Addie Larue or wrong time wrong place.

It’s much less cumbersome to look at the reviews on GoodReads and click on the reviewer’s name to see what else they reviewed.

Life After Life is a popular book. Start a new topic “If you enjoyed Life after life, recommend your favorites”

I recommend A God in Ruins, spin off LAL and Klara and the Sun.

I also really liked Life After Life… the two books that pop in my mind that I liked in similar ways are Midnight Library and Thirteenth Tale.

If you can handle a tough Holocaust memoir -- The Escape Artist by Jonathan Freedland was excellent. Story of a guy who escaped Auschwitz

Notes on an Execution

I recently enjoyed Biography of X by Catherine Lacey. It scratched similar itches as Vladimir from around this time last year and was interesting to read following Tar.

If you like Kate Atkinson, maybe try Transcription?

Wrong place wrong time is a GREAT book. It’s not what you think…it’s like a time travelers wife AND a thriller! It’s great!

There is a sequel to Life after Life. So maybe try reading that.

If I like a book, I see what else that author has written and then read the author's other books.
