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 have just finished Richard Osman's third book in the Thursday Murder Club series, The Bullet That Missed. I find his books very enjoyable and easy to read. Might not be of interest to the "serious reader", Margaret is not so keen on them. But I don't generally read fiction but find his books enjoyable.

I usually look at the newspaper headlines each day and look out for the Matt cartoons on the Telegraph. Treated myself to the 2022 cartoon set  although cheaper to download to Kindle which I've done previously.

Whilst not a Telegraph reader I do like Matt cartoons and even got A Best Of.. a few years ago.

Just finished "A Man with One of Those Faces" by Caiman McDonnell, the first in a trilogy but the last I've managed to read, although it didn't distract from the enjoyment of it. Just what I needed, the book is laced with black Irish humour.

On the subject of cartoons, I do like the "Nature Notes" cartoons by Peter Brookes in The Times on a Saturday.

Just finished reading Michael Connolly's latest Bosch & Ballard offering "Desert Star". Incredible the way MC manages to subtly update Bosch's career to keep things fresh after all this time. Although, without wishing to give anything away, I get the sense that the end may be in sight for Harry. surprised

I'm down to number 15 on the list for Bosch/Ballard. 

Just reading latest instalment of Michael Walker's Bruno series, " To Kill a Troubadour". Series now getting a bit repetitive and formulaic but as it's set in Dordogne I'll forgive him.

WN, you have  long way to go as there are 24 Bosch novels, plus 2 novellas and 2 collections of short stories. There is 1 stand alone Ballard plus 4 other Ballard/Bosch which are included in the 24 Bosch list, and then 6 separate Lincoln Lawyer ones and a B/LL one included in the 24. Plenty of reading there for you. I just need to get  Desert Star next to have them all to date.

Nellie, I meant I'm down to number 15 on the library list to receive it. One week ago I was in mid 20s.🤣 My mistake.
