I have finished In the Country of Men by Hisham Matar I am not sure about this book. I could not take to Suleiman so perhaps that has coloured my opinion. I wanted to know more about Libya but in the end felt a bit dissatisfied. I am starting A Spot of Bother by Mark Hadden. Blurb George Hall doesn

Hi Princess Orchid! The Complete Maus was one of the Reading Circle books back in February. I think most people enjoyed it. I know I did.

I have just finished The Book of Lost Things. It had such a sad start that it drew me in right away despite my misgivings about it being fantasy. It was a very easy read and I agree the ending was just right. I enjoyed it. Thanks for the review Gyre and for recommending it.

I have finished The Book of Lost Things. It started really well and was quite emotional. When it got to the fantasy bit I was not so sure, but it was a really easy read and in the end I found that I had really enjoyed it. I have now started on In The Country of Men by Hisham Matar. Blurb Nine-year-old Suleiman is just awakening to the wider world beyond the games on the hot pavement outside his home and beyond the loving embrace of his parents. He became the man of the house when his father goes away on business

Hi Lucie, glad you have joined.

Hello Father Author!

Salmon Fishing in The Yemen was an enjoyable read about a ludicrous idea and how, with a bit of pressure from Government, Dr Alfred Jones tries to bring this about. There is a bit of love, a bit of politics, a bit of fishing and a lot of humour. I am now starting The Distance Between Us by Maggie O

Finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. A good quick read for August.

Finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Good Conclusion I thought. I am now starting on Salmon Fishing in the Yemen by Paul Torday. Blurb Doctor Alfred Jones has many reasons to be content with his life. His latest paper

Hello, Donna. I hope you enjoy it here.

I loved re-reading Anne of Green Gables. It was just as good as I remembered. I am now starting on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Thanks for the recommendation Niceguy. Until I Find You is not on my mount TBR, but I will keep it in mind for another time. I have decided to read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows since I have it, and want to read it before I tempted into the threads about it. At just over 600 pages I am hoping it will be a nice easy read.
