The pics on the web make me want to drop every thing and go. We've been doing monthly buddy reads of her books at GR. they are fun, both with the mystery and the dated props. We always keep count of the cigs and the nylon eighties

So fAr the tally in Madam Will You Talk has been the highest
Have the day off and not getting much done besides reading. Flora is turning out well, and not as bodice rippery as the Pino cover might suggest.

[quote=""sweetpotatoboy""]Unusually, I've got about five books on the go (well, in theory - a couple may end up in DNF-land).
I've just started "The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry" by Rachel Joyce (not HF) for a book group.[/quote]
I thoroughly enjoyed that one Justin - quirky and different. Let me know what you think of it when you're done.

Will do. It seems to be a very popular book at the moment. My sister-in-law passed it to my brother, who passed it to our Mum, who passed it to me - just in time for me to read it for my book group!
So far, it's one of the books for which I've been most able to turn off my editor's brain and just enjoy (largely).
