I started reading this one last night and was immediately pulled in. Forced myself to set it aside for some sleep, but I'm looking forward to getting back to it this evening.

I am so looking forward to reading this book. My mum's local library closed some years ago and since then I have provided her with all her books from my own "library". We are both voracious readers and, in my case, book buyers, and sitting with a cup of tea, discussing our latest read feels like a wonderfully exclusive book club for two.

So glad it's grabbed you, Susan!

I'd never thought about a two-person book club before reading Will's book, but it is a really lovely idea.

I received it last week but life has gotten in the way and I haven't had a chance to open it. Grrr. One of my son's wants to read it after me so we can talk about the books Will and his mother shared. Soon...

In US, bookpagedotcom (reviews) just did an interview with the author, too.

I'm reading this now! I had forgotten you'd enjoyed it too. I'm having great fun with it especially since I've read some of the titles ... although my booklist is also getting longer!

Glad to see it's getting good publicity.

Mine too - just about to buy one of the books Will's mother loved!
