Re: What book are you reading now?
For the past few years I've been doing something that I'm calling, for want of a better description, 'looking at England' ( with brief forays into Scotland and Wales).This means old houses, castles, museums, landscape, and so on; and not just the pretty bits
At the moment I'm reading a book which is more or less self - explanatory
The Village News' by Tom Fort
Described as 'A whimsical, funny, and revealing inquiry into the real story of the English village that we love and cherish'.
I's interesting, but easier to read in sections, not all in one go

I'm reading The Clockmakers Daughter by Kate Morton...it's a tale about a murder that happened in 1862 and the house it happened in....we are introduced to all the occupants of the house through time and how they are connected to the murder ...it's a good yarn but I found it a bit slow...I must be in the minority though because it's a best seller.

" No Known Grave" by Maureen Jennings. Set in 1942 in a convalenscent hospital for seriously injured servicemen and those in bombing raids. A murder mystery, good so far, a bit Foyle's War - ish.Tried reading "If on a Winter's Night a Traveller" by Italo Calvino, very odd and boring.
I read two or three books every two weeks from the Library. I've found a lot of crime thrillers go on and on then rushed at the end as if the writer got fed up and just put any old ending. Either that or the editor cut bits out.
Some even have mispelled words or wrong named etc. Proof reading errors!

I've just finished Watching You by Lisa Jewell. It's a mystery thriller disguised as a community of misfits in a neighborhood where nothing is as it seems. Nicely written, twists and turns you never see coming, and the end is astonishing! Well worth the read, I couldn't put it down!
