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've enjoyed every book Bill Bryson has written Brue and keep meaning to get this one out of the library so thanks for the prompt.

It's more scholarly than his usual books WN, but I've enjoyed it as it's not a lengthy tome!

Brue, I've just ordered it from the library before I forget.smile

Also ordered a William Shaw book, Deadlands, the third in the D.I.Cupidi series with a hold on number 4 The Trawlerman when it comes out this year. It's a while since I read books 1&2 so am looking forward to it. Wonder if Nellie has read Deadlands yet as he likes this series as well?

This latest lockdown has been good for catching up with my reading if nothing else.

I'm just chortling my way through Stuart Macbride's latest offering "The Coffin Maker's Garden". 

Features ex DI Ash Henderson - the same grisly subject matter and (very) dark humour as the Logan Macrae books - possibly more of the former and less of the latter.

Very entertaining if you like that sort of thing (which I do!) smile

Have read Deadland, and I see that the first 3, The Birdwatcher, Salt Lane and Deadlands, are available as a combination for £2:99 on Kindle at the moment. 

WN, the next in the series is Graves End which comes before The Trawlerman, neither of which I've purchased yet.

Picked Deadlands up from the library yesterday so that's my reading for the weekend sorted.

I'm a bit late to it but I'm reading the highly popular Salt Path by Raynor Winn ( a Christmas present.) Based on the "true" events of a couple made homeless and tackling the SW coast path as a way to "find" themselves again. I know people love this book but I'm finding it annoying. When the seagull lurked near the longed for half pasty I knew what was coming...there are only so many contrived events that can happen on the SW coast path. A shame they didn't pay for the camp site in St Ives but couldn't resist Rick Stein's expensive chips.....very readable. wink

Margaret has just finished reading the Rose Code by Kate Quinn. It is a fictional account of a group of females recruited to work at Bletchley Park at the start of the war. She enjoyed it as it had local interest but perhaps even more topical was the one of the heroines  had a affair with Prince Phillip in the fictional book!!!

This has just arrived in my ebook inbox but it will have to wait as I am reading the latest Reacher book. Goodness knows why as I haven't "enjoyed" one of his for the last 3 or so outings.

Must give the library a gee up and see what's happening with my Bill Bryson request.
