Hi there. Yorkshire is a lovely place - I'm sure you'll enjoy it there! Welcome to BCF too!

I have to say I'm half way through and I do want to keep reading, but I'm finding the constant jumping around is giving my brain a good workout. It may be that it''ll be one of those books I have to finish before deciding if I like it or not!
I also have to say that at the moment I don't really feel I've connected with any of the characters. -
Hi there and welcome on board! It's a really lovely place here!

The Birds, the Bees and Other Secrets by Frances Garrood

Yes it was a great read - it's only just out this month. It must be so so difficult for so many authors to get their books noticed. I've read loads of best sellers and been disappointed with quite a few of them, however all the new authors I've read of late I've really enjoyed. -
The novel begins with Cass visiting her mother in hospital and then looks back over the journey of Cassandra, then age thirteen, through her life in the sixties with her unconventional mother, who enjoys inviting many strange characters (including

Oh that's good - I should be about ready for it by then!

Thank you & sorry for delay as I've been away for a few days. Thank you for the friendship request too

I may just do that next week. My son said I'd die before I read all my TBR books!
I worked it out at about 2 years if I read an hour a day. To him a 100 books would take a 100 years to read!

Thanks Inver that is good to know! I'm in 2 minds - not sure to join the bookring now or later as I've quite a lot to read at the moment.

Thanks for the suggestion Michelle - I think that must have been subconsciously in my mind when I suggested them in that order! I'll certainly be on the look out for Esme as it seems that everyone who reads it enjoys it.

Neither will I! B)

I've not read any Maggie O'Farrell yet, but I hope I enjoy her books as I've 3 on my TBR pile: After You'd Gone My Lover's Lover The Distance Between us I know they are not a series, but has anyone any suggestions in which order I should read them?

Hi Supergran - Sorry I missed your message yesterday - it was tiring one from what I could remember as it was first day back at work after a break and there was loads to do! It was a better day today though! Have you had thunderstorms today?

I've just tried the redbush with vanilla and think it's yum!

Hello and welcome!

Amelia Jane I think. I tend to keep my eye out for the original Blyton hardbacks too, but they seem rare these days - The collectors have them all!
-
I've no idea what's happened in the updated versions as all the Enid Blyton copies I still have are all from the early 70's. I still have Stories For You too- Just got it off the book shelf - it's a 1966 copy. I thought Brer Rabbit was great too!
-
Was that story in Stories for you? I seem to remember it. I was a great Enid Blyton fan and still love the thought of Moonface and Saucepanman.

At what time in the day do you read?

I read at varying times, but find I can't read for much more than an hour at a time. -
I too was reading well before starting school. I was very sad not to have a library close by though and had to make do with re-reading books many times as I never quite knew when I was going to see a new book.
