I'm just about coming to the end of Deborah Moggach’s book, Heartbreak Hotel. I found it a very enjoyable read and very amusing. But what should I read next? Any recommendations? 

I also wondered if anyone would be interested in a Club Together book club? According to a member survey earlier last year, reading is the most recurring leisure activity whilst caravanning. I know I’m a book worm and I’m sure there’s a few of us out there who enjoy a good read. Anyone interested or any suggestions?

Hope that you enjoy Wolf Hall as much as I did, Jay. I 'm reading the sequel Being up the Bodies at the moment and enjoying it too.

Can recommend A Man with one of those Faces by Caimh McDonnell, the first in a trilogy of 4 books!! Go figure!! There's also a free short story about one of the main characters...Good Deeds and Bad Intentions.

Nellie, did you get this from Kindle or a different source? Cheers.

Wherenext - Agree about the Reacher book. (am happy to use the library for my books even though it means waiting for new books).   

Nelliethehooker - will definitely come back here and let you know how I get on with Wolf Hall.

Jay - 95% of my books come via the library as well. In fact I have only recently given them a donation. £0.30 fine for overdue books. That will teach me to check return dates more often.laughing

I've just discovered Emily Barr books (The Sleeper and Plan B so far); I think their genre is hard to define, being a combination of Thriller/Romance/Mystery. Her characterization is excellent and her plots are interesting; although I feel they could be further developed. I'm planning to download more though, as they make the commute to work on the metro more bearable!

Discovered another author that should appeal to those that like a detective writer who adds a bit of humour..... Pete Brassett ....with his Munro and West series, The first one is "She" and the second "Avarice", both have been 99p on Kindle, as were others in the series too.

Having seen a couple of episodes of Wolf Hall on TV some time ago I decided to read Hilary Mantel’s books Wolf Hall and the next one Bring up the Bodies. Having read Bring up the Bodies immediately after Wolf Hall I think I will have to re-read Wolf Hall at some point to get a better understanding of the character of Thomas Cromwell portrayed in these books.  Just now Michael Connelly’s Dark Sacred Night is waiting for me at the library which I am looking forward to reading.

I take it that you enjoyed the 2 Hillary Mantel books, JayO. I did find the second one a bit harder going than the first but still enjoyed it. Do you think that there will be a third in the series?

Just read the latest Posy Simmonds "cartoon" book a gripping scary tale! I'm wondering if they'll make Cassandra Darke into a film, it was a good read and the drawings are brilliant as usual. I've been a fan of Posy Simmonds ever since she captured certain types of visitors to Cornwall with a wry sense of humour. smile
