Started 'We Begin at the End - Chris Whitaker' tonight. Really enjoying it so far, which I am glad about as my expectations are quite high with this one..
Anyone else started a new book today?

I've downloaded Circe. But might try something lighter!

Not sure what to think of it yet.

Enjoying it so far!

Circe's brilliant. It was one of my favourite books of last year.

golddustwomen · 01/01/2021 22:29

Circe is on my read list for this year. Heard lots of good things.

I started Born Survivors by Wendy Holden today. So far so good.

YakkityYakYakYak · 01/01/2021 22:53

The book I’ve just finished is The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, would really recommend if you’re looking for something fairly lighthearted.

I'm reading The Nesting by C J Cooke. I'm enjoying so far.
