What books are you reading and why?

I read this during the last lockdown. It was a present from my sister and a very gentle read.

Loved the Thursday murder club and hope the next one is as good or better. If Mr Spielberg is reading... I would make the perfect Joyce

I loved it. Have recommended it to all my friends. I did guess right BTW

I have just finished reading ‘Troubled Blood’ by Robert Galbraith (JK Rowling in disguise). It’s a Cormoran Strike thriller and over 900 pages long. As usual it’s very well written. I have also just finished ‘ the Thursday Murder Club’ by Richard Oseman. I’m not sure about that one. I love thrillers and run a Thrillers and Crime Writers group at my local U3A.

I'm reading And then there were none by Agatha Christie. I read a lot of detective novels and decided to revisit the classics such as Christie

I have discovered Lisa Jewell, don't usually like fiction. I'm currently reading One hit Wonder but would highly recommend Invisible girl, a sort of thriller but seen from the view point of a number of characters

I'm reading a Jack Sheffield book about Ragley village school. I have read lots of his Teacher books and find them very entertaining.

I'm reading American Dirt. Its a brilliant book, set in Mexico. It will open your eyes.

I am currently reading Expectation by Anna Hope who wrote The Ballroom which was a wonderful read. I have joined the Clare Mackintosh online book club, I've never wanted to be in one that met regularly and discussed each book but this one suits me as you don't always need to read the book of the month, if like me you don't want to join a normal book club then I highly recommend joining via Facebook.

I’m reading Redhead by the side of the road by Anne Tyler. I’ve read a few of hers and enjoy them. I’m using the Libby app in conjunction with my library so get to read them at home for free on my iPad. Don’t think I’ll be using Kindle much anymore.

I am reading kindle books which I downloaded for free. Mostly detectives.

I'm reading The Rosie Result. Its the third in a trilogy by Graeme Simsion.
I heard an interview with him on Simon Mayo's radio show and thought that the first book, The Rosie Project sounded like my cup of tea.

I'm also reading The Girl who Saved the King of Sweden by Jonas Jonasson, I've just started this one, so I'm not sure about it yet.

I read the first two. Liked the first one better. So I might try the third, thanks.

Just read a delightful book. Very short, rather old fashioned but beautifully written. Called the enchanted April I read it because it’s about Italy!
I’m about to start a single thread by tracy chevalier because I like her books.

Soozikinizi ... by fifty fifty do you mean you pick it up when you feel like it?
Because I do that but it usually means its a bit of a slog for me to stick with it at every sitting. If you see what I mean?!

M0nica ... that sounds really interesting. All the more so because I would never think London had more green spaces than other cities.
Funnily enough I thought Bristol held that title. Possibly just said as PR for selling houses there.
Does landscape history include research into why a building was put where ever?
I've watched (I expect I'm telling you something you already know) some fascinating TV programs using Lidar to find new sites for archaeologists to investigate.

I am reading a book about Forest London. London has more green areas and woodland than any other city and it covers 8 forest walks from outer London to inner London, I am reading it because my cousin lent it to me, knowing my interest in landscape hisory.

I’m reading that fifty fifty because it was on the cover to cover programme on TV . The author was on and he set it up really well.
