A mixed bag this month – Kate Mosse’s “Labyrinth” – a large tome but a great read.  A combination of 2 stories, one historical and the other a thriller set in modern France.  Thoroughly enjoyable, well plotted and written.

The next is another thriller – Nevil Shute’s “Lonely Road”.  Persevere through the first chapter – it’s worth it.

“Sorry, I’m British” – an A to Z, allotments to zebra crossings, an entertaining view of all that is British with some good cartoons

and finally, another of M.C. Beaton’s Hamish Macbeth series of murder mysteries “Death of a Scriptwriter”.

 

Grateful thanks extended to Margie for assistance in filleting the books and moving them from the back of the church to under the Ridlington display stands.

 

We would like to hold a Wine Tasting…. interested?
