Thursdays in the Park

Tbh I just thought the Granslit tag was interesting.

you can hear the interview on Today here. 08.20

For 20p I'll give it a go.

I don't think I actually want to read stories by and about 'third agers'.
I enjoy a well-written novel by an author of any age, but who would want to read about oldies all the time...?

I heard her on 'Today' today too, immediately ordered it for my Kindle. 20p? Worth it if only to be able to talk about it!

Although I think they went downhill after the first one. But they sold well.

Well, Mary Wesley starting writing her books in her eighties!

It's not on it's own. 'It's Never Too Late - an anthology of romantic short stories' written by and about thirdaagers was published last year and is now available on Kindle - and I'm sure there are others that would qualify as 'Granslit'. Any suggestions

That's how I read it too

Rude girls.

Ana 'Gran slit' did make me laugh, considering the subject matter!

I gave up on it! Might go back to it. I had figured out where it was going. I have a friend who is a perfect role model for saucy 'granslit'. She is 67, very pretty, and has a constant stream of admirers. Someone asked her how she does it, and she replied "I give out"

I enjoyed it and think she writes quite well (apart from the grandaughter's speech patterns), but ultimately found the characters unconvincing. The heroine was OK, but the husband, son-in-law and daughter seemed inconsistently drawn. I think she could be a good writer though, with better character development.

grrrrranny that's good. (I think I had enough r's in there! )

Ana I didn't think you did mean it to be rude!? Please explain?

J05 Thanks for the link. It made me finally pluck up the courage to download the kindle reader to my netbook and then buy the book. I had 43p extra on card (I had paid off more than needed) so now have 23p left - perhaps buy another book! So you gave me the kick I needed. Brilliant. Thanks.

Or Grannylit

It wasn't meant to be rude!

We could call it Nannalit

That's not my word! Author was on the Today programme this morning.

Ana Trust you!

Thanks for the recommendation, J. I've just bought it - 20p! Amazing.

Hi j05 I thoroughly enjoyed reading this after picking it up for next to nothing on my kindle. Its not the most challenging of novels I have ever read but a nice easy going, feel good, bedtime read.

This book fits perfectly into your new genre of granslit

I am hearing that word as 'Gran slit'
