Tv book club

[pink4ever]

Is any one else reading along with the tv book club summer picks?. I read all the books on the last series(Room etc) but only rated 2 of them. So far I have read The Lantern(so so) and Moonlight Mile(good but light weight and predictable).
Anyone read any of the others on the list?.

i read one they all raved about last time - even the dogs.

no one had even heard of it in my local bookshop - i posted on here to see if anyone else had read it - no response

it was ok not great - made me think they rave about all their choices esp as you only rated 2

I found Even the dogs almost unreadable!. The ones I rated were-
Spies of The balkans
The immortal life of henrietta lacks(best book I have read in ages)

The last duchess was hokum but good for a holiday read. Ditto Bleed for me. I couldnt stand the andrea levy one-the long song?.

Am going out today to buy another two from the summer list so will be back with my views when I have read them!

oooo thank you i might try henrietta lacks

Henrietta Lacks was brilliant - would not have picked it up if I had not heard about it on the tv book club.

Oh completely missed this - will go and have a look what they're reading.

I read all of the ones for the first series - liked all of them ok - my favourites were Cutting for Stone and Sacred Hearts in that order, and I also liked Brixton Beach enough to acquire Roma Tearne's other 3 books, and have bought them for last and this summer, I don't think I've read last summer's yet at all. I had already read or bought some of the last winter series separately - had a review copy of Henrietta Lacks when it first came out. Bought The Long Song then got sent a review copy. I have Even the Dogs and the Last Duchess.
