LazyDaisy 9 Jan 8:02am, 9 Jan 2025 41,224 posts	Quote Pin LazyDaisy I mentioned a while back that I was re-reading a clutch of green Penguin Golden Age crime novels. I've enjoyed them all so far but the best of the lot is my current read, The Franchise Affair by Josephine Tey. I'm going to bed early because being snuggled in a cosy bed reading it is so enjoyable! (I only read in bed.)
Columba 10 Jan 6:00pm, 10 Jan 2025 22,678 posts	Quote Pin Columba Reading in bed - one of life's great pleasures.
Red Squirrel 16 Jan 6:26pm, 16 Jan 2025 24,977 posts	Quote Pin Red Squirrel I’ve joined the library’s diverse reading group. Small group of 6 of us inc library staff member, who heads up and takes part. We’re reading The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstein. I’m 2 pages in. Started reading in bed but needed to sleep.
LazyDaisy 16 Jan 9:49pm, 16 Jan 2025 41,254 posts	Quote Pin LazyDaisy I wonder what you'll make of that book RS. I didn't like it but I can't think of a 'magic realism' (is that what the genre is called?) novel that I have liked. Ah, just looked it up. Seems the genre is 'speculative fiction'.
Northern Exile 16 Jan 9:52pm, 16 Jan 2025 10,756 posts	Quote Pin Northern Exile I also only read in bed. The only time I've deviated from this is when I binge-read all Patrick O'Brien's Jack Aubrey books during the pandemic.
Bintmcskint 24 Jan 6:49pm, 24 Jan 2025 47,657 posts	Quote Pin Bintmcskint Just finished Raising Hare which I thought was wonderful. Beautifully written, absolute gem of a book. Have started The List of Suspicious Things by Jennie Godley. Really loving it so far. Takes me right back to growing up in the North in the 70's when the Yorkshire Ripper was at large.
LindsD 24 Jan 7:12pm, 24 Jan 2025 72,304 posts	Quote Pin LindsD I bought Raising Hare for two people for Christmas but disappointingly neither of them has lent it to me yet
Diogenes 24 Jan 7:16pm, 24 Jan 2025 90,388 posts	Quote Pin Diogenes I was going to buy Mrs D Raising Hare for Christmas, but didn’t. The Jennie Godley sounds interesting
Red Squirrel 24 Jan 7:32pm, 24 Jan 2025 25,022 posts	Quote Pin Red Squirrel Bint - both of those are on my want to read list. Will order them now from the library. Thanks for the reminder.
