Angela’s comments from the easy peasy reading group group.

I'm so behind the times !! I would love to meet up and Birmingham sounds fine:)

Have only just caught up with this thread! Good idea, Steve - I've just voted:)

I finished it about half an hour ago. Really enjoyed it:)

I just love the way Rachel Joyce writes.A real gem of a book:)

While I was away in Norfolk, I read Zoo Station and Dark Echo, both of which I really enjoyed. Now I'm about 2/3rds the way through The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, which I love!

Stephen wrote: "there is an interview in mail on sunday with rachel joyce very interesting and apaprently its fav to win booker"

The library came up with the book for me just before we went on holiday - am now just over half way through. Very good book - I'm loving it!

Thank you for the info - always useful to know these things:)
Since I wrote that post, the library has got a copy, so it's been requested. I think there's a bit of a waiting list though. Just as well, I suppose, as have got lots on the go at the moment!

I think it might have been better if I'd read it in paperback, rather than kindle, then I could have easily flipped back and forth. I don't mind two time changes, but just felt a bit swamped....maybe I'm getting past it:)

Finished Jubilee this morning, but I felt a bit disappointed. For me, there was too much chopping and changing of the time phases. Interested enough to want to know what happened, but was a bit confused at times!

Finished 84, Charing Cross Road - excellent little book - and have added Hannah's Gift by Thomas Eidson to the currently reading list!

That's what happens in Luton libraries too. Seems to be working ok.

Now reading Jubilee(kindle), Sisters Red (borrowed from a friend) ,84, Charing Cross Road(library book) and City of Redemption and Misadventures Of Fatwoman on my laptop.

Started Jubilee this morning - ok so far!

Glad it's going to be , as I bought it on kindle when it was on offer a few weeks ago:)

I haven't been able to get hold of a copy either:(

Still reading the Anne Rice and Bill Bryson books, but have also started , as part of a genre challenge for another group. On my kindle, I'm reading byKB Walker. Enjoying them all!

That's a good idea! I'll have to look into that:)

I'm reading Interview With the Vampire and At Home: A Short History of Private Life at the moment, as well as Broadmoor Revealed: Victorian Crime and the Lunatic Asylum on my new Kindle!! (Birthday present from hubbie, who hopes it will stop me buying paper books....we'll see!!)

At the moment, I'm still reading , which I love. Great if you're a cricket fan and also like David Lloyd's sense of humour - which I do!
I've also started , at last. Really liking it - I'm a big western fan! I'm reading a book about Victorian Broadmoor on my laptop and think I'll make a start on the latest William Boyd.

The weather forecast isn't good - rain, chilly - but if we all take the right clothes, we should be OK!
