Book Share

 Book share this afternoon was as chatty as ever. We discussed Moriarty by Anthony Horowitz, mostly but not universally enjoyed. Thoughts inevitably turned to Magpie Murders. Apparently the TV programme was very different from the book

Cadfael by Ellis Peters

Ely Griffith, including Crossing Places

Louise Welch The Cutting Room

Anthony Horowitz series, including The Twist of the knife

Jeffrey Archer series including n a Blind Eye

Peter Grainer’s D C Smith series

Terry Pratchett Nation

The Alice Network

Lessons in chemistry.

And we still had time to discuss the coronation, pirates, republicans and the meaning life, while we put the world to rights

Lots of recommendations: 
Olive Kitteridge and Lucy by the Sea by Elizabeth Strout 
Meet me at the Museum by Anne Youngson
The Confession by Jesse Burton

Bookworms

 Bookworms met to discuss Eleanor Olifant is completely fine. Some of us loved it and couldn’t put it down, some of us didn’t saying it was not a page turner and too wordy. We wondered if her nature was autism or from her childhood and found out it was due to the events of her life. We discussed autism in general. Wondered how Eleanor’s life would have been if she hadn’t made a friend in Raymond and discussed how childhood events can influence your future.
