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?

Finished Salt Lane by William Shaw today. You'll like it Nellie, particularly as you want to get to Dungeness at some time.

Yes. I read that quite a while ago. What are you reading at the moment?

I'm in the middle of Christy Lefteri's novel "The Beekeeper of Aleppo". It's a hard read in some ways but a real eye opener in drawing attention to the awful plight so many families have suffered over the past few years in Syria and the hardships that drive them to seek a new life in the west.

Required reading for anyone who doubts the tragic lifes and real hardships many refugees have to endure.

"Lady in Waiting" by Anne Glenconner. Bought this for my sister who is not a fan of royalty but for some reason is addicted to "The Crown." I decided to read it first!

Well, what a page turner, all you want to know about the goings on of those with too much money in their paws... Anne Coke of Holkham Hall, (later a lady in waiting to Princess Margaret) married Colin Tennant (Lord Glenconner) and even Princess Margaret worried that he was too decadent a person to marry, well he was! It's quite an extraordinary read but sad too, wealth doesn't spare anyone from the events of life.

Just finished a book by Sam Eastland called The Elegant Lie. I've enjoyed this authors Inspector Pekkala series but this is a stand alone. Very well written and set in post was Cologne 1947. It was strange though as the whole book does not break down into Chapters. There aren't any even though the book moves through different time scales.

Just picked up one from the ebook library, a Stuart MacBride Logan book, one that I've missed reading Flesh House. I suspect from the first few pages that this book will have more blood and gore in the first chapter than the other one had in the whole book. Might make me go Vegan.smile

That was the last Stuart MacBride book I read (but didn’t finish). I’m very squeamish and just couldn’t read another in case it was the same. Though a friend has told that no other is as bad.
