Sam’s comments from the Glasgow Libraries group.

The Muse by Jessie Burton is the latest title in the Hurricane Book Club, a remote book club running online with Glasgow Libraries and Orkney Library & Archive services.

This months book is written by Jenni Murray, the voice behind BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour - we have high hopes for this one.

Set in the 1800's, you'll follow the story of the seven Swiney sisters, from a life of abject poverty in rural Ireland to the streets of Venice, Italy.

The book group thought the book was well written but lengthy. We agreed that the ending was little bit 'happy ever after', which seems to be a trend in the publishing world at the minute.

This month we've chosen a thriller by one of Americas best crime/thriller writers Karin Slaughter. This won't be to everyone's tastes as its a departure from her Grant County books. Everyone likes a little bit of change, right?!

Let us know what you think.

We have a few resident graphic novel aficionados on staff, but even they need some help occasionally. We are looking for the best graphic novels of 2016 as picked by you.

Help us create a best of list for 2016.

We hold a monthly staff book group here in the Mitchell Library and we are currently reading The True and Splendid History of the Harristown Sisters If you've read it then join our conversation or if you'd like to borrow it then head over to the online catalogue and borrow a copy. http://libcat.csglasgow.org/web/arena
