Wirral Libraries Bookbuzz discussion

Hi my name is Elaine, and I’m part of the Strategic library team . I’ve worked for Wirral Libraries after qualifying 13 years ago. I’m normally based in Wallasey Central Library and mainly deal with the volunteers and friends of all libraries, but also organise children’s school visits , library events, order Ebooks and much more....

Although I love to read, I don’t often get time apart from on holiday.....which brings me nicely to the last book I read ‘The Holiday’ by T.M.Logan. (See reviews)

Hi Elaine
I only usually read "proper" books as I like the physicality of reading, but desperate times lead to desperate measures, and I have just downloaded this as my next read from Borrowbox for when I finish The Salt Road. I'll let you know what I think.

Hi, I find it difficult to get to the library at the best of times so have been making full use of the Libby and Borrowbox apps! I'm currently reading The Catcher in the Rye for a virtual book group I'm a member of. I'm also reading Black Lamb and Grey Falcon on and off which is a massive great tome I would find difficult to physically lift in real life I'd imagine - another advantage of the e-book!

Hi Elizabeth
I have never really liked downloading books, I like to hold paper and ink in my hands, but Borrowbox and Libby have been a Godsend. I am reading The Tenant of Wildfell Hall at the moment, which I had always thought I'd read .... it's really good. I'll add a review when I've finished. My last read was The Darkest Evening Ann Cleeves that I had bought. Highly recommended. My next read is The Beekeeper of Aleppo as so many people have recommended it

Hi Anne-Marie, it's a while since I read The Tenant of Wildfell Hall but I do remember liking it. I've downloaded Agnes Grey but not got round to it yet... I too had heard The Beekeeper of Aleppo mentioned a lot - will be good to hear what you think.
