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 ordered Trust Me some time ago from our ebook library. Apparently earmarked for 2nd.September.

I do my reading on Kindle, WN, and tend to buy books when they’re on offer and save them to either read in order if it matters or for when the fancy takes me.

More or less what I do as well TW except I do make full use of our local library when at home. The ebook library covers Wales and the library can source books from North Wales libraries. They're extremely helpful.

I'll take a few books that have been lingering too long in cupboards for our next trip and read them again and leave them wherever we come across a book share, sometimes found on CLs.

I have the BorrowBox library app but for some reason have never got round to using it. Perhaps I should start🙂.

That's a good way of decluttering the book shelves at home.

For Nellie and other fans of Phil Rickman's "Merrily Watkins" series, the latest edition "Fever of the World" is just out and I managed to get a copy at our local library yesterday.

Edit - TW, we're also fans of TM Logan, his latest is "The Curfew" which is a good read. I've just finished an older one "Trust Me" which I thought just a little far fetched but entertaining anyway.

Good. Glad you enjoyed it, Brue. I’ve read them all now except the latest, Carnival Blues. I think we can guess at the setting of that one!

OH is a fan too, and is in the same place as you, just waiting till it, too is on offer.😁

What I really need is either a ‘list’ or a much better memory of books that I have read, especially where authors have similar sounding titles to their books. Started reading Sacrilege by S.J. Parris, having read a couple of her books it did cross my mind, ‘have I already read this book’ , page 172 the penny dropped, I had! Must have been some time ago so I will continue reading it, but now I know ‘who done it.’ Looking at books I often can’t decide if I have already read them.

Debsc, I use the Fantastic Fiction website, as recommended by Nellie, to look up series of books. I screenshot the result which I store on my Pad (and Kindle) then use the Pad's mark-up edit facility to tick off the books I’ve got and read. It’s not as complicated as it sounds!
