Best reads - Club Together Book Club?

For fans of Jo Nesbo and "scandi noir", I'm half way through "The Chestnut Man" by Soren Sveistrup. I picked it up a book swap when we were up in Birchover earlier this year but have only just decided to pick it up.  It's an engrossing though rather grim tale - I thought those Nordic folk were peace loving upright citizens! 

A good read for Nellie and others who like that sort of thing.

Cheers M, will look out for it.

Yesterday I managed to get the first in a "new" DI Kelso Strang  series by Aline Templeton - Human Face, for 99p on Kindle, having already picked up the next two, so they will be my next read I think. I hope they are as good as her 9 book DI Marjory Flemming series.

Just finished the second book in Richard Osman's "The Thursday Murder Club" series The Man Who Died Twice. Obviously the same set of characters as the first book but this one delves into Elizabeth's murky past as a previous M15 operative. As with the first book very easy to read (light weight some would say!) and perhaps some might not find it a challenge but good fun nonetheless. 

For those that don't know the books are centred around four residents of a "Retirement Village" Elizabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron are the main characters.

Downloaded "Diary of a Nobody" by George and Weedon Grossmith, although written in 1892 it is still a comic read, quite nice to re-read it on Kindle.

Just downloaded it. I have wanted to read it for while but had forgotten all about it. Thanks brue.

I've just ordered Bob Mortimer's memoir "And Away..." it seems to be a favourite with many and not too dispiriting in these changed times.  Decided not to wait for the cheaper paperback or use Kindle which was similar to the hardback cost. I expect the audio version read by Bob Mortimer himself is also a good listen. 

Moulesy, there is a complete 5 book series of Nordic noir which might interest you, The Modus series by Anne Holt, "the godmother of modern Norwegian crime fiction” (Jo Nesbø), on offer on Kindle for £1:99 at the moment.

As usual I got a Matt Parker book for Christmas, this time Things to make and do in the fourth dimension. Don't be out off by the title it's actually readable by anyone as all his books are.

Or to impress pick any digit from 1 to 9, and write it down three times to make a three digit number. Then add the same three digits and divide that sum into your three digit number (eg 777 divided by 21) You'll always get 37. The answer as to why is on page 9.

If anyone's into historical novels backed by serious research, Nicola Griffith's "Hild" kept me immersed, I found it a great read. It doesn't pull its punches. As well as the story, I feel to know a lot more about A/Saxon life, too.
As she says, it's not history, she made it up, but it's very believable, about the early life of Hild who became Abbess at Whitby.
