Bookworms - January meet

Good morning, Bookworms met yesterday for our monthly meeting. We discussed the doll factory by Elizabeth MacNeal. Overall we found the book compelling more than enjoyable with some gruesome scenes! It showed an insight into the mind of a stalker and their thoughts and we enjoyed references to the great exhibition! Probably not one we’d read again.

Other books/authors read this month include

‘Cyprus maze’ by Fiona Valpy

‘Woman on the ledge’ Ruth Manchini

Lucinda Riley

Ruth Jones

And the Housemaid by Freida McFadden

We all enjoyed the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special!

This months book is A heart full

Of headstones by Ian Rankin
