We are reading "City of Bones" by Michael Connelly.  I have to say I have read only 8 Chapters and so far so good.  It isn't really my normal choice - the American dialogue rather annoys me but as it is set in America, what can you expect?

Anyway, I am plodding on.  I am sure it will be a good read in the end.

 

I read the April option while on holiday.  Now THAT was a great book.  More of that next month!!!

Alistair Cooke's "Letter from America". (Oh how I remember this one!  My first husband and I used to love to listen to the radio programmes and we read this back then.  Very dear memories and a lovely broadcaster who is now no longer with us sadly.

To go with this we are also reading Alan Bennett's "The Uncommon Reader".  Thankfully this is a small book which shouldn't take long.  Heyho!  Lots of good reading matter.
