Kate Atkinson's Life after Life - I loved it.

Where'd you go Bernadette by Maria Semple is really good too.


When I was on holiday I tried some of Nora Ephron's writing fo r the first time and loved it - essays work quite well for holiday, and don't be misled by 'essay' as they're all v easy reads! I read 'Things I hate about my neck', and then got her novel 'Heartburn' on my kindle and really liked it too (it's pretty obviously autobiographical).

These are the last few I read:


The Paris Wife: A Novel ** loved this

Paula McLain


Dissolution (Shardlake Series)

C. J. Sansom


The Graves are Walking

John Kelly


Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

Ransom Riggs


The Partridge and the Pelican

Rachel Crowther


Inferno: (Robert Langdon Book 4)

Dan Brown


Wool (Wool Trilogy 1) ** loved this!

Hugh Howey


Winter in Madrid

C. J. Sansom


Mr Penumbra's 24-hour Bookstore

Robin Sloan

Agree Gone Girl is a good read but like the poster above I felt it fizzled out a bit and got ridiculous. I thought 'before i go to sleep' a much better thriller, if you are after one.


Also the new Maggie O Farrell - think is instructions for a heatwave? - not her best but still v readable and great holiday book.

    • Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?
    • A quick Google says that it is not undersubscribed unlike many subject schools so those claims mentioned above may not be true. Last Ofsted was good.  You are definitely right about the money. This is what trusts do. Remove word ‘subject’ above Remove word ‘subject’ above I can’t edit my ridiculous errors but would like to apologise  for messy post
    • I have heard claims that people don't send their children there because of the name of the school..?  I genuinely cannot get my head around this one. The school is named after the road it is on which is named after the history of the area!  'Grove Primary School' is potentially the most boring name they could have come up with, and for a school struggling financially, is rebranding the school really the best use of funds?
