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?

Anyone who likes a good murder should look at the 'Inspector Tanner' series by David Blane, especially if  you ar a lover of the Norfol Broads !  This is a region I know and love, and can tell tat the author does too.

Reading Barbara Erskine’s latest book The Dream Weavers. I’m actually reading it rather slowly, don’t want to finish it too soon as I know I might have to wait a while for her next one. I have read all of her books, just love them, but they do scare me a bit.

Well thanks to TWs detective series recommendations (and I think Nellie's too in the dim and distant past) I sent off for a bargain secondhand Damien Boyd "As the crow flies."

Gleefully opening my purchase I found it contained a book on modern ethics. Obviously Boris Johnson has got my detective book and I have his!!

However I returned the book and am now in receipt of the book I wanted and I presume BJ would be happy with the detective story, who cares about ethics I hear him say....laughing

Anyway I have finally got my holiday read. 

Ps true story except the BJ bit....wink

The cottage we are in this week has an extensive library of books and DVDs and Mrs.WN has been reading and therefore recommending one of the books that caught her eye. "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer & Annie Barrows".

Not new but she thought that it might even suit me.

Edit - Forgot to mention that "The Dark Hours by Michael Connelly" is on Amazon for £0.99 at the moment. A Ballard and Bosch book. I actually read this from the library just 3 weeks ago.

DEBSC there is a Barbara Erskine book, Kingdom of Shadows, on sale at this moment on Amazon for £0.99.

I've just finished reading King Richard by Michael Dobbs about the machinations that went on in the White House as the scandal of Watergate and the unknown tapes unfolded. It helped that I am interested in the subject matter and also knew who the protagonists were but it was still fascinating and totally relevant in many ways to the current political scene, both here and across the pond.

I could do with a really good murder book next! Fortunately I have a J.D.Kirk to get to grips with.

Having just read "Charles & Camilla" by Gyles Brandreth I felt murderous WN! yellwink A history romp at the start, all a bit unedifying and getting increasingly so as the present day story progressed. I read a review that stated it was a "heartwarming tale" don't believe a word of it, it isn't!

Do you remember Cabbage Patch Dolls Brue? Well I somehow felt a compulsion to punch them in the face. Unusual for me. Fortunately I didn't know anyone with a child who had one. Would have been a most embarrassing situation for me.

Gyles Brandreth is a human Cabbage Patch Doll and he has the same effect on me!yell

Didn't help that for a number of years he was MP in nearby Chester so always popping up in the news.

I assume your "review" refers to the subject matter rather than the messenger. Still, I wouldn't be able to read it without thinking of those r***y dolls.smile

Noticed a new David Baldacci book in Smiths window The 6:20 Man so requested it at library which says it is on order.  Been reading some Michael Jecks and Paul Doherty (historical fiction) and Rachel McLean’s Zoe Finch series as had no luck getting her Dorset Crime series books from Library – popular series, I guess.  Still enjoying reading Kate Ellis books featuring Wesley Peterson and Lin Anderson’s featuring Rhona MacLeod.  Read a few other books and have added Gytha Lodge books to my list of maybe future reads after reading Lie Beside Me  featuring DCI Jonah Sheens.. Enjoy your summer reading
