I am one chapter from the end of The Haunting of Hill House Hammond by Shirley Crabtree.
I propose that we review our chocolate box selection here on this very thread and appoint our choice marks out of 10. I can then update the list on the right >>> with our scores.

And I have finished (in between not particularly exciting conference calls) Scooby Doo and the Spooky House by Shirley You Can't Be Serious.
I ****ing hated it.

Hmmm. Of the books in other people's choisisees, I have a copy of
Robinson Crusoe Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle Great Expectations If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things A Pair of Blue Eyes The Quarry
So I might be in a position to sneak a read at other folk's books as well.
(I'll ponder why I hated HoHH so much as well)

Which have you not read? I thought you'd read The Quarry. If you haven't, I think you should, because I want to hear what you think of it (and Badger, of course. Not what you think of Badger, what he... oh never mind).

I'm enjoying T7DOEH so far but it is getting a bit confusing. Or my brain is scrambled from WFH.

Well, I've read T'Quarry, and Great Expectations and the Defoe of course, but they could all handle a re-read. I loved GE when I originally read it. I hadn't expected it to be so witty.

What didn’t you like about HH? I remember really enjoying it. Maybe I’m mid-remembering as I read it whilst watching the Netflix series that was based on it.

I sidelined Bint's choice (no reflection on Bint) and read Wakenhurst over the weekend. Really enjoyable and atmospheric read. Enough of a mystery to keep me interested and some wonderful descriptions of nature on the fens. I'd previously read Michelle Paver's in Thin Air which I also enjoyed.
