I'm going to be late reading this months book. Having bought my Fire to replace the ailing Kindle I can now borrow ebooks from the library, but when I searched for Homegoing it said it was available in 2 months. So I've reserved it :-)

Finished TLOB yesterday. Enjoyed it, will review it in a bit.

This month's book hasn't arrived yet so I'm now reading the new Nikki French book as a contrast.

Maybe one of us will offer to send you a copy, Westmoors - when we've finished it ourselves.

Has anyone read the The Absolute Book by Elizabeth Knox? Sounds like my kind of thing, but gets *very* mixed reviews. Also probably not one to read in hardback at 600 pages.

Hooray! Our library has re-opened. In a "normal" way, I mean. I can request a specific book online and they will let me know when I can come in and collect it.

70% through Homegoing.

It's not really a book you 'enjoy', is it?

I finished Homegoing last night. No, not one to 'enjoy', but I was sad to leave the characters behind.

There is a long line in the thread.

I am skipping Homegoing, you'll be relieved to hear.
