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?

I wish "One, Two, Three, Four" by Craig Brown hadn't cost so much to download but I've started to use my Kindle again. The book is a romp through the lives of the Beatles and it's a good read! smile

I know this thread is about books you have read, and often about bargains you have picked up.

But, if you're looking for something different and have a few pounds to spare, please consider pre-ordering this from James Rebanks. Not only a wonderful writer, but farmer of Herdwicks, Belties and now pigs. And of course passionate about his countryside.

No more buying ‘cheap on offer books’ online from Smiths and The Works as our library re-opened Monday with limited opening times and browsing time plus various other “covid required safety measures” in place.  Having returned our books I am taking advantage of the service where they will choose books for you based on your preferences (done on line – ticks in boxes) and will contact you in order to collect them.  Could be interesting reading.

Our mobile service is has resumed but we can only pre-order books at present, maybe one person at a time to browse a bit later. There is a volunteer service offering book delivery to anyone who is housebound. One good thing, as a library member people can download newspapers, magazines, comics, audio books etc for free.

We can't even pre order books but like you Brue we can access magazines etc.

Strange really as local library building is open but only to pay council bills at a special machine.undecided

If you spot  Blue Lightning at that price give me a yell please. It's the only one in her Shetland series I've not got.

 Apparently we can also download books for free with a three week timer, then they're removed. Must investigate further!

Is this from your actual library Brue as we have a 3 week borrow from Borrowbox that we use?
