Thank you Trish, I should have checked the spelling myself, easy enough to do. I'll try the ones that are on talking book. Clare ----- Original Message ----- From: "Trish Talbot" <trish@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Clare, If you're looking for Dorothy Koomson, she spells her surname with a K not a C and no B in the middle. I hope you do like her, now that I said I 
thought you would.
Trish.

Trish, I don't know anything about Dorothy Coombson, but I will look for her 
now that you have said I would like her. I am currently reading Written in
Bone by Simon Beckett with the Bookworms, which is holding my interest but
not setting me on fire. Also the World My Wilderness by Rose McAulay, which I am not far into, but the reading of Gretel Davis is not doing much for it so far. Also a school story by Angela Brazil. I love her, but this isn't her best. I also have a very slow burning project on the go. I scanned and read very quickly last year the Concerto, edited by Ralph Hill. As we have a lot 
of the works discussed in our CD collection, I am going back over it in
tandem with the recordings. This is because I feel I haven't been listening 
to music nearly closely enough in recent years, well, for a heck of a long
time really. And because we have an awful lot in our music collection which 
I ought to know far better than I do.
Are others getting these messages in a very odd order? I've had a complete
jumble of all the messages that have poured in over the last three days.
Welcom to all our new members. Clare

June, "Paris Wife" was serialised on radio 4 fairly recently, and I
enjoyed
what I heard of it.

I am currently reading yet another Dorothy Koomson novel, an author I
enjoy
very much.  Has anyone read any of hers?  I think Clare would enjoy them.
She is black, and the main character in her novels is usually black, but
British, and it's often a good way into the story before you know she
(iIt's
usually a she) is black.  The one I'm reading at the moment is "The Rose
Petal Beach", and I've had to tear myself away from it to write these
emails.

Trish.

 Shell, I often re-start a book if I'm not getting to grips with it, just
to give it another chance.

 I'm currently reading The Paris Wife - can't remember the author - about
Ernest Heminway and his first wife. It's really interesting, and can't
wait
to get stuck into it again.

 Also, Stonemouth by Iain Banks for my book group. Finding it a bit
difficult to get into this, but will definitely persevere.
Also Melvyn Bragg's book of Books - all about the King James bible. A bit 
disappointed in this so far, but again I'll give it a bit longer.

 Have just finished The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and Gone Girl -
both Richard and Judy titles, and both worth a read. If I hadn't been
reading Gone Girl for my book group, I'd have given it up and thrown it
out
the window, but I'm so glad I didn't. Once I was about a third of the way
through, I was hooked, and really wanted to know what happened to two of
the
most unsavoury characters i've ever come across. They deserved each other! 

 Who else is reading what?

 June

 I think it would be a good idea to see how that goes, if you don't mind
giving it a try.  I would also like to keep the list strictly book
related.
I would be interested to know what everyone is reading.
 I started a book at the weekend called The Start of Everything by Emily
Winslow, but I was away at the time and so distracted that I don't really
know what happened. So to be fare to the book I have decided to start
right
from the beginning again. Recently we read The Litigators by John Grisham 
for my local book group and though I enjoyed it, I think I am Grishamed
out
for the time being. Nothing unexpected happened in it, but the characters
were quite good.  He seems to write similar books most of the time but
occasionally has a huge departure into something really original like A
Painted House, which is still my favorite of his.
