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.

    • I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!
    • Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
