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?

I was listening to Ian Rankin on the Radio 4 Saturday Live morning show, talking about moving Jack Reacher to Caithness, somewhere between Dounreay and the Castle of Mey. Think I might attempt to read a book set up there to see if the area springs to life.

You're a little mixed up there brue, I think. Ian Rankin's character is John Rebus, and Jack Reacher is a character written about by Lee Childs.....unless of course Rankin and Childs are one names for the same person!

Should you like a detective series base around the North of Scotland you could do a lot worse than that written by JD Kirk about DCI Logan.

You'll have to forgive me on that one Nellie, on the programme Rankin was talking about Rebus but the conversation got confusing then I read later that Rebus was a Lee Child's fan....I was interested in the setting as a relative lives off the beaten track in that area who's a bit of a mystery too! Perhaps I'd better read the book, A Song For The Dark Times.

Finally got my hands on Fair Warning by Michael Connelly after waiting months for the library to allocate it to me. Don't know what's taken them so long.

Good job that they have disposed of their normal 3 week period as I've got 4 other books to read before it.

Couldn't put it on hold any longer.

I did find the main character harder to like than his normal ones, like Bosch but his writing is as usual exemplary and he does move his storylines along with the times.

Thanks to a tip off from Nellie I went onto Kindle 12 Days of Christmas deals tonight.

There's a prequel by Mark Billingham of Tom Thorne and a Caimh McDonnell stand alone amongst others.
