Flashlight by Susan Choi.
It is a long book! Sort of family chronicle that encompasses US, Korea and Japan.

I thought Flashlight was an unusual and engrossing story.

I'm reading in the garden right now, "High and Low" by Amanda Craig

henetha I've read all of the Nicci French books, have you read the Freida Klein series? If not, I recommend them.
I'm reading What you are looking for in a Library by Michiko Aoyama. Totally different to anything I read before, a gift from DD, really enjoying it.

Noel Coward’s diaries, Alison Uttley diaries, Elizabeth Taylor (not the film star) short stories.

An Icelandic crime novel called The Quiet Mother

Don't Let Him In by Lisa Jewell - not impressed

Proust! Swann's Way. (in translation.)
For my second Reading Group.
Not nearly as terrifying as I feared, but needs concentration. This is the ideal weather, lying on a sun lounger under a tree pretending to be French.

I'm re-reading the Wolf Hall trilogy. Having blazed my way through 'Wolf Hall' and 'Bring Up the Bodies' I've got stuck half through 'The Mirror and the Light' once again. I forgot I never finished it last time and found a bookmark half way through so I am 7 pages further than last time. But for some reason I am finding it really hard work - I don't know if it's because I know what is coming or if the writing is just 'boggier' than the other two books...

The Widows Wine Club, I'm neither a widow, nor drinking wine!

'Just One Thing' by the late Dr Michael Mosley. Worth every penny.

Something by The Secret Barrister. It's on my Kindle, so I can't remember the title, but it's about a court case (murder) seen from the perspectives of the various protagonists - the defendants, the lawyers etc. I'm enjoying it.

The latest Jane Harper, Last One Out. Thoroughly hooked. Love her crisp, clean style of writing, doesn’t over play her hand but my goodness she packs a punch. Great stuff!

I've not long finished this book and loved it, too. It was slow paced but a riveting story. She's such a good author.

Will be starting Married lies by Chris Collett no5 in the DI Mariner series read no4 yesterday.

The coast Road by Alan Murrin. Women’s (mainly) lives and secrets in a Donegal village in the 1990s. I am enjoying it 😊

I hope it's good ... I havebjust downloaded it to my kindle! I will hold you personally responsible if O do not like it!!

The Satsuma Complex by Bob Mortimer, just as zany and funny as you would expect.

The couple at No9. by Claire Douglas.
I've been reading it for about 18 months, now

I've just started the next in the Slough House series (the books which the TV series Slow Horses is based on).

I have spent this weekend pet sitting for my family. Knowing that I would have time on my hands after walking the dog early in the morning and watering the vegetable garden in the evening, I picked up a book in the local charity shop. It's a novel by an author I have not come across before. Alice Feeney. The book is called Beautiful Ugly. A Sunday Times and New York Times best seller.
I cannot think why this book is a best seller, but I intend to plod on to the end in the hope of enlightenment.
Atm I'm sitting in the garden, under the parasol but I think soon it will be too hot to stay outside.
I only have a quarter of the book left to read.
Happy reading everyone.

A thriller. "What happened that night" by Nicci French.

Just about to start "Pedro Páramo" by Juan Rulfo.
