I am currently reading The Familiars by Stacey Halls.
It is about the Shuttleworth Family, and Gawthorpe Hall and it is set in the time of the Pendle witch trials.
Based on the history of the hall, it is a very enjoyable read

I received a good pile of books for my birthday and I have been trying to go slowly with them.(I am waiting for the charity shops to reopen....to give some books back but to get some new reading matter too)
Another really good read was The Carer by Deborah Moggach.
It had a couple of unexpected twists in the plot....and I did not see them coming.

Re: Reading; Books, Kindle and Audio books.
 

Deborah Moggach's books are good, strong stories. I've read 'In the Dark' while holidaying on the Isle of Wight a few years back.

She wrote 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel' too.

Re: Reading; Books, Kindle and Audio books.
 

Yes, I have read a few of her books.
She builds good characters....ones you can almost see....or is that just me?

Re: Reading; Books, Kindle and Audio books.

Bloody 'ell, it's like an introduction to university challenge, representing Accrington Uni of hard knocks & life in general ...... :)


I recently read, George Orwell "Road to Wigan pier" hard work & somewhat dull, Aldouis Huxley "Brave new world", not that inspiring & most definitely dated & at present "Undeading bells" by Drew Hayes.


All about an accountant called Frederick Fletcher who get turned into a Vampire, he ends up forming his own clan with other paranormal beings while daily struggling to fight off those that would see him & clan destroyed & doing tax returns & other accountant stuff for folk (oh & in this one hes got an impending wedding to his fiance Krystal Jenkins paranomal agency agent & demon). Appeals to my humour & enjoyment of off beat fantasy adventure. ;)

Re: Reading; Books, Kindle and Audio books.
 

If you are a fan of off beat fantasy, please read the recent Boris Johnson/ Tory manifesto, you will split your sides laughing.

Taddy it is no worse than the stuff published by the Labour party.(I have no political affinity...they are all a shower of fisons.

Re: Reading; Books, Kindle and Audio books.
 

What the devil is a Fison? it is not even listed in my Oxford senior Dictionary.

Re: Reading; Books, Kindle and Audio books.
 

fisons....? Taddy do you mean to tell me that you have an allotment and have never heard of this branded fertilizer?
Maybe you just use connymuck for growing your rhubarb.

Re: Reading; Books, Kindle and Audio books.
 

Well said.
I only use my own compost that I have made from last years Rhubarb leaves, Brussel Sprout stalks and potato haulms plus any tomato stalks, pea and bean stalks etc, with a a few dried chicken manure pellets.
The name Fisons, takes me back a while, I don't know if they are still going.
Ah well never mind,thanks for the lesson, Your's once again, the Luddite.
