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?

Just started reading Stuart MacBride's latest Oldcastle book No Less the Devil. I assume it will be gory but funny. Got it on Borrowbox.

Mrs WN taking a more genteel stroll in the investigative genre by reading Jeeves and the Leap of Faith written by Ben Schott, he of Schotts Almanac, an excellent little book full of fascinating information probably some of which will now be out of date.

Just finished the latest offering by M.W.Craven in the Poe/Bradshaw series, The Botanist.

Entertaining as usual laced with a fair amount of humour.

I’ve just read the latest Vera book - “The Rising Tide”. I loved it, read it in two days (ignoring everything else but essential cooking). And now feel a bit bereft as I’ve finished it! 

I think I’ll reread all the Vera books, starting with The Crow Trap.

I've read all the Vera series up to No.9 but still have to get The Rising Tide. Also read all of the Shetland ones and a few of her earlier books.

Finished reading "Love Nina" by Nina Stibbe, a good read and very funny in parts. Based on the author's real life letters sent to her sister Victoria when she was a nanny working in London and surrounded by well known people, Alan Bennett is good at fixing bicycles apparently...don't think he quite expected to appear in this way. wink

Davd Blake, the Inspector Tanner series are a great read, even more so if like me  you are familar with and love the Norfolk Broads . So wellwritten I can visualse almost every location in every chapter.

Just bought a new one to me anyway from Stuart Maconie "The Nanny State Made Me" off Amazon for £0.99

I like his books, full of down to earth observations all laced with a gentle humour and a lot of truth. The sort you can dip into as well. If you like Bill Bryson you should also like Maconie's books.
