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.

    • Hi! I recently came across the website of Dulwich Chess Club. I emailed them, but never received a response. The site (and the information on it) feels a bit dated... Does anyone know if this club is still active? And if yes, do you know when and were is the club currently meeting? Many thanks!!

    • Hello All, I'm starting a fun, online Philosophy class for kids - designed to spark curiosity, build critical thinking, and create space for big conversations! 🧠 What is it? Each week, we'll explore a fascinating question like: What makes something fair? Can animals think like humans? What is truth, and how do we know it? Using stories, games, and open discussion, kids will learn how to ask great questions, listen respectfully, and express their own ideas with confidence. No prior knowledge needed - just imagination! 💻 How it works: 1-hour sessions on Saturdays at 2pm.  Hosted online via Zoom (more information on this will be given if you choose to sign up).  Small group sizes to keep things personal and interactive. £15 per session (per child). 🎓 A bit about me: My name is Connor, and I'm a recent philosophy graduate. I'm passionate about helping kids discover the joy of thinking deeply and creatively. Philosophy isn't about getting the "right" answer - it's about learning to explore ideas in thoughtful and respectful ways. I believe every child is a philosopher at heart!  📩 Interested? Send me a direct message on here to sign up or ask any questions, or ask below! I'd love to hear from you. 🙂
