Best reads - Club Together Book Club?

If anyone is looking for something different by a new author I can really recommend "To The Lions" by Holly Watt. It tells the story of an investigative journalist researching killings at a refugee camp in Libya. Sounds a bit grim and, indeed, it is a disturbing topic - the book is a slow burner to start with but suddenly takes off and I couldn't put it down.

I was given a file last year which contained 4000 kindle books. Trouble is i don't have a kindle!

If you have a tablet you can download the kindle app and use that,  W. Problem solved! 👍

I keep dropping into Humble Pi  the book recommended by Cornersteady every time I finish a book of fiction and before starting a new one. It's acting like a Sorbet, rather than a pudding, and refreshes me mentally.

Mind you I haven't a "Scubby" what he's talking about.

Picked up "The Law of Innocence" from the library today. Problem is I've just started a new book by Graham Hurley and it seems promising so Mickey Haller will have to wait. I checked the other day and they had me down at 29 in the queue just a week ago so a bit of a surprise.

Just finished 'The Girl On The Train'. I wonder how much the newspapers were paid by the publisher to write the blurb?

What an absolutely rubbish story line -  hopefully I will never be persuade to read a 'best seller' again.  Particularly if the press ( New York Times) give it a rave review.

Does anyone else suffer from misleading, descriptive plugs of that nature?

Why did you read it through to the end? 🤔

I tend to ignore reviews and base my decision to read on the description of the story type.

I read it some time ago and enjoyed it - a good suspenseful storyline. Also enjoyed her follow up book Into The Water.

I never rely on the New York Times when choosing which books to read!
