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?

Our library has been "outsourced". A great bone of contention. 

Anyway, we checked with them when we were in today and the new Bosch isn't on their radar yet. It was touted at the back of The Late Show book as coming out in October so may have been delayed or it may be the new "managers" of the library don't have a clue!

Is the Le Carre "The Legacy of Spies" M? Been waiting for that for a while now.

Yes, that's the one, W. It's waiting for me to pick it up this week, saving it for our trip away next week. I've just started The Girl Who Takes An Eye For An Eye, the latest addition to the Millenium series. Well up to the usual standard.

Had an email yesterday that new Le Carre is in so will be picking it up this week. Yahoo.

M - Have read the first three Larsen "Girl with..." books and enjoyed them. Is this follow up with a new writer really worth it? Not always found new authors taking over a character or series to be that good although Mrs.WN gives the thumbs up to Anthony Horowitz for the Conan Doyle story.

I know what you mean about new writers. I gave up on the Ludlum books ages ago, still read the Bond books which have good authors but it's not the same as the originals. 

But the two follow up Millenium books are pretty good - the language, characters and storyline stay pretty true to the originals, so worth a read, I think. smile

After a visit to Leicester to the Richard III tomb and visitor centre, I purchased  The Sunne in Splendour by Sharon Penman.  A novel of the Plantagenets.   A rollicking good read.  I now have another of her novels called Lionheart.  No prizes for guessing who that is about, lol.   By the way whilst at the visitor centre I discovered I am a Ricardian because I have long held the view that RIII was not the murderer of his nephews.

Will look that one up Patmau. Ta.

The new Le Carre is keeping me entertained. I re-read The Spy that came in from the Cold whilst awaiting this one and had forgotten what a great book it was. Must dig out his other ones over the winter, although not too enamoured with The Constant Gardener.

Don't know if there are any Phil Rickman fans out there, but today, the day that his latest novel, All in a Winter's Night, came out in paperback, it can be bought on Kindle for 99p....a real bargain, but it may be just there for one day only at that price.

I see the next Jack Reacher book will be short stories, I think it's called No Middle Name, (as in Jack no middle name Reacher).

A while since I've read a book of short stories.

I recently discovered the Clifton chronicles and became hooked . If you haven’t read then just try the first one . I bought it in a car boot sale recommended by someone . 

I have been reading anything about the war of the roses and the tudors. Also Owen Tudor and then jasper Tudor .
