It took 2 and a half hours from start [in the bath] to finish (in the early hours).

I'm trying "The Far Pavilions" by M M Kaye - I was let to believe it's her Life story  :-\.  The print is so SMALL  :o and it's a tome.  It's going to take some sticking with!

I gave up on that one. Really interesting beginning but was so slow.

I'm just finishing Prussian Blue, by Philip Kerr. Is a detective story set in Germany just before the start of the last war.

If someone asked me about Prussian Blue, I'd have said it's a breed if cat  ;D

I've put it down - a) too bulky for the bath and b) far too long  ::)

Don't know what will be next.

Has anyone read Educated by Tara Westover? It's a really good and interesting read.

I normally stick to the Menopause stuff only but...
I just read The Island Murders by James London.
It's set on the Isle of Wight (modern day) and I rather enjoyed it.
It would definitely work for bathtime, CLKD, and you will like the Detective Inspector who is called Bruno Peach  :)

Just started Pillars of the Earth, Ken Follett.  It was adapted for TV a few years ago.  Son bought it for my birthday.  Big book but seems an easy read.

Also reading How Democracies Die, by Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt. Very chilling.

"The Boy Who Followed his Father into Auwvitz" a real page turner. 

Auschwitz - I really should know how to spell it after all the reading I've done

There are hints and rumours that Hilary Mantel is about to publish the third and final book in the Thomas Cromwell trilogy.

Fantastic  :)
