I’m reading Killing It by Asia Mackay set in London. Based around a mum who also happens to work for our secret service as an assassin!
Girls night
I’ve just finished The Dry by Jane Harper which is great for atmosphere. Now on Josephine Tey’s The Singing Sands, mainly set in the Highlands. It’s good and I like her writing style but a bit slow. I enjoyed The Daughter of Time more.
I have almost finished ‘A Spool of Blue Thread’ by Anne Tyler. Set in Baltimore. I’m enjoying the story but not gripped. The writing is great though.
just about to start Manhattan Beach by Jennifer Egan , it will be a bit of a change from the book I have just read – Is it just me ? by Miranda Hart which was not the ” laugh out loud ” promised but was mildly amusing
Just finished What Kitty Did Next, a ‘sequel’ to Pride and Prejudice so Derbyshire and London featured. No reading Maggie O’Farrell’s I Am, I Am, I Am which is a memoir with many parts of the world featuring.
Not long finished The Sapphire Widow by Dinah Jefferies – set in Ceylon and definately worth reading. Now onto something completely different – Survivor by Roberta Kray. Interesting, so far.
I’m reading Daisy’s Vintage Cornish Camper Van, so big in Cornwall which I love. Great giveaway
At present I am reading ‘The Chateau on the Lake’ by Charlotte Betts, an historical novel set mainly in France during the time of The French Revolution. The novel is utterly breathtaking
There really is too many to list for my summer reading. I set myswlf to read 60 books in the year, I’m now on book 81 !!
Currently reading “Don’t Let Go” by Harlan Coben
Have just finished the tattooist of Auschwitz. Very poignant story of survival in a Concentration camp.
The Lies Within by Jane Isaac. A thriller set in rural Leicestershire, Market Harborough. Very strong on location and so far I’m really enjoying it.
The Lies Within by Jane Isaac. A thriller based in rural Leicestershire, Market Harborough. Very strong on location. I’m only a quarter of the way through the book and so far really enjoying it.
I’m reading The Funny Farm by Jackie Moffat – it’s lighthearted and funny, ideal to relax with.
I’m reading Karoo Plainsong by Barbara Mutch, an engrossing story set in the Apartheid years in South Africa. The geographical descriptions are marvellous.
At the moment I’m reading ‘the serpent bride’ by Sara Douglas followed by Legendary by Stephanie Gerber!
The Heart’s Invisible Furies by John Boyne. It’s set in several places – Ireland, Amsterdam and New York, but it only has a real sense of place in Ireland, where the contrast between rural and urban life, and how each changes over the years, plays a major part in the story.
Loving re – reading The Dark Circle
Linda Grant – not a glam destination a san in Kent but a fabulous book!
I am reading The Good Daughter by Karin Slaughter set in a small town in mid America
I am reading ‘Last Dog on the Hill’, by Steve Dono. Set in California, Colorado & Seattle, it is the story of how Steve adopts a wild puppy, a Doberman/German Shepherd cross & in turn, how the puppy, Lou, changes Steve’s life by influencing Steve to retrain as a dog trainer, working with dogs whose behaviour is so extreme that they face being put down if they can’t be reformed!
Although not huge on location there are some nice descriptions of the hills in California & the mountains of Colorado!
A lovely read if you are into dogs!

I’m reading the Shardlake books about Tudor England.
