Thought I'd try this simple idea for a bookthread and see how it goes!
Please recommend three books that you've read recently (preferably ones that are not too populist or too well discussed!)
In return for this you can ask for advice on three other books which you are contemplating reading, and other mumsnetters will reply and tell you if they're any good (I hope 
)
Here goes... Three books I've read recently and enjoyed:
- Learning to Swim by Clare Chambers - First read this ten years ago and it's even better than I remember, brilliantly written imo. I still miss Abigail even though I read it quite a few books ago!!
- Jubilee by Eliza Graham - Good book for a royal wedding year I think... Very English and atmospheric and apparently written by a mumsnetter (makes me very jealous!)
- Glasshopper by Isabel Ashdown - I haven't actually finished this yet, but so far I'm loving it. Lots of 80s nostalgia (in both a good and bad way!)
Three books I am considering and would like advice on if anyone out there has read them:
- This perfect world by Suzanne Bugler
- The Blasphemer by Nigel Farndale
- Another Clare Chambers book. Have read both 'In a good light' and 'learning to swim' and loved them madly! Are any of her others as good?
Hope I get a few responses - thank you in advance!
