I took Wendy Cope's prose miscellany to Amsterdam with me....it's ace! And now picking up the novel I was reading when I left. Jennifer Weiner's All Fall Down. That's very enjoyable so far.

Cornflower

Wendy's "Life, Love and the Archers" looks very good - I've read snippets.

Sue

I'm still enjoying Merrily Watkins but could do with a break. I'm hoping to finish The Prayer of the Night Shepherd this weekend because I'm itching to start The Signature of All Things by Elizabeth Gilbert.

Cornflower

The Signature of All Things is fun!

Dorothy

I plan on finishing up The Goldfinch this weekend; it has been an amazing read and I don't want it to end.

Cornflower

Glad to know it's so good (I've yet to start it).

Pam

Three on the go right now. Peace Breaks Out by Angela Thirkell, Laughter on the Stairs by Beverley Nichols and Skeleton Key by Jane Haddam. Loving all of them but the Nichols is my first by him and I can already tell he is going to be a favorite!

Cornflower

Nichols has been on my 'must read sometime soon' list for ages; I MUST read him sometime soon!

Chiara

I'm finishing The Provincial Lady in Wartime, which is wonderful, love the series. Then starting a re-read of The Goldfinch for book club. I'm looking forward to it second time round!

Ursula

I am reading Murder Underground (British Library Crime Classics) by Mavis Doriel Hay - very Golden Age so far - and am enjoying it a lot.

I've made a note of Mr. Mac and Me, the cover is beautiful and I think I would like the book as well. I've finished J.L. Carr's A Month in the Country an hour ago, enjoyed that very much, and am still thinking what would be a good choice to follow it up with.

Mary

Limping to the end of a not-very-good Northern Ireland thriller for book group, and looking forward to The Paying Guests.

Dark Puss

I have a review deadline coming up very soon so I am finishing Lasers and Electro-Optics, 2nd edition, CUP, 2014 by Christopher C Davis.
