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.

    • You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect 
    • I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic. 
    • To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
    • You don’t think there are right-wing politicians fanning this with rhetoric? Really?
