I bought The Carer by Deborah Moggach on Kindle for 99p in the Daily Deals today. It sounds like a lovely little read. Ditto!

As per above, The Carer.
And Honor by Elif Shafak. I adored 10 Minutes and 38 Seconds in this Strange World so thought I'd give this one a go. Another Kindle offer.

Murder in the Belltower by Helena Dixon. I had decided to read as much as I could of my Kindle books before buying more and this popped into my emails last night - I had preordered it when it was published so that's a new one and I'm back up to 35 again. But there are a lot of collections/keepers in that number like Tolkien, J K Rowling, Mrs Gaskell, George Eliot, the Brontes, Jane Austen.

Two from Amazon for the 1001 books group reads on Goodreads: Midaq Alley by Maguib Mahfouz Cutter and Bone by Newton Thornburg
Also caved and bought The Marlow Murder Club by Robert Thorogood on Kindle for 99p. I was trying to resist because it seems so much of a "bandwagon" thing but the reviews are good and I suppose if Richard Osman's book was published in Sept and this one in Dec, it must have already been written.

I read Robert Thorogood's previous book .. He writes the Death in Paradise series and I read the book of the first Episode - really enjoyed it, so I've been tempted by this one too ..

I’ll send it you when I’ve finished it, Suzanne. Like Rosemary, I almost gave it a miss because it does sound very similar to The Thursday Murder Club, but I enjoyed that one and the reviews for this are excellent so.....
