Good morning, thought it might be fun to have a chat for bookworms. Recommend a book/books, ask for suggestions for a specific topic or post whatever you like regarding books and reading

  • Hi Angie,  this is a good idea.  I have a terrible confession.  I have not read a book in years and I used to be an avid reader.  Perhaps this will encourage me with some recommendations.

  • Good morning, hope we get some interest in this chat. I have just finished reading

    She and her Cat by Makoto Shinkai and Naruki Nagakawa. In a nutshell the book is exploring the gentle magic of the everyday. It reveals with heart-stopping wisdom  and warmth, how even in our darkest moments, communities and connections may lead to a happier place.

    Now reading (once again) Desiree by Annemarie Selinko. This book has been like a very good friend to me over many years. All the passion, intrigues and often chaos around the rise and rule of Napoleon Bonaparte’s court as seen by a young merchant’s daughter from Marseilles, who became his fiancée and her true but very unanticipated path to her own love and astonishing destiny. This book has been my pick me up for a long, long time. 

    waiting in the wings is John McCarthy and Jill Morrell’s Some other Rainbow

  • I have a varied taste. After finishing All the colours of the dark by Chris Witaker (thriller and love story in one) I will move on to a biography of Elon Musk by Walther Isaacson, see what makes the strange man tick.

  • Good evening Patrick and Mrs Patrick. Have you been reading his first novel Tall Oaks yet. Richard Osman is a fan of his writing.

  • Hi Alana and all you book lovers however if you are not already I’m sure you will be soon! I like different types of genre but particularly crime thrillers. I have read many books by Blake Pierce. I particularly liked the Reilly Page, Avery Black and McKenzie White Series. I like authors, Lee Child, Jeffrey Deaver and Joe Nesbo plus many others.

    I hope others also have recommendations. The book that first got me interested in reading was “I’ll Bring You Buttercups” by Elizabeth Elgin which was the start of following the rest of her books in the series about a family going through the war. It made me laugh and cry and as I was approaching the last chapter, I didn’t want it to finish
