I would prefer a fiction as I have three nf that I'm currently struggling with. Although perhaps a travelogue.

Of course ...

*lights pipe and starts puffing on it*

... surely we all realise...

*adopts smug Laurent Binet stance*

... there's no such thing, really, as non-fiction.

Bouf! *gallic shrug*

I might walk along Kensington Park Gardens tomorrow and try and work out which house Nick is lodging in. There are loads of private gardens around there, I've always wanted to live in one of those big houses!

Dan Brown Auto Biography :-)

I am still on February's book and hope to finish it tonight, but may be tomorrow. I need a good book to get me back into reading and will consider whatever the offering is.

PS Scribbler - forgot to say I'd be OK with a non-fiction book. Although my next read after TLOB will probably have to be Shuggie Bains as someone has lent it to me.

Shuggie Bain is on my wish list waiting for the price to come down or my TBR pile to get to zero

As LindsD nominated me, I’ll go for my fiction option and offer you Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi.

If you would like some non fiction, the other on my short list was A Shepherd’s Life by James Rebanks

Liebling's read that shepherdy book and she enjoyed it.

Spider-man: Homecoming it is. Funny, we don't normally do movie tie-ins...

Thank you heart

Is A Shepherd's Life a bit like On the Black Hill?

I didn’t read On the Black Hill as I have a pile of TBRs, but I suspect they may be similar.

I just finished A Shepherd’s Life and really enjoyed its realism, beautiful writing and the patchwork nature of its stories told within seasons.
