I thought it was about time to draw up a new list and there have been a few suggestions so here it is:-
January The Zookeeper's Wife by Diane Ackerman- suggested by Zib.
February Portrait of an Unknown Woman by Vanora Bennett suggested by aitch2oh.
March Red Leaves by Paullina Simons suggested by juliejug ( she actually suggested 'The Bronze Horseman' by the same author but I chose this one because it's shorter).
April The Music Room by William Fiennes - we have previously read 'The Snow Geese' by this author which most people enjoyed.
May Their Finest Hour and a Half by Lisa Evans - suggested by billie
June Artic Chill by Arnaldur Indridason - I chose this because I've never read a book set in Reykjavik and Scandanavian novels are very 'in' at the moment!
Happy reading

Hi snoopy
These sound brilliant and I haven't read any of them before - even better!
I've just finished Defying Hitler so off to look for the right place to talk about it ...

Thank you for the list. I'm looking forward to starting it. Haven't read any of them.

Hi debz
I haven't been organised enough to take part before and I'm just guessing we read the book and then join in the chat about it .. as far as I understand that's about it?
I know that other ladies have been doing this for a while so maybe they'll add more ..

Ok, Thanks Mags! I have something to put on my Wish List for Santa now - lots of books I havent read. I look forward to the discussions....
I received an order from Amazon on Saturday, amongst which is The Road Home that you recommended. I finished off The Broken Window before work this morning (Jeffrey Deaver), so am ready to start a new one at bedtime tonight. I will let you know what I think....

I'd love to join in.
I'm printing the list off and posting it on the wall next to my desk.

I can never take for granted the euphoria produced by a cup of coffee. I'm grateful every day that it isn't banned as a drug, that I don't have to buy it from a pusher, that its cost is minimal and there's no need to increase the intake. I can count on its stimulation 365 mornings every year. And thanks to the magic in a cup of coffee, I'm able to plunge into a whole day's cheerful thinking.

Great - lots of enthusiasm for the new list. Don't forget that we still have 'Mr Pip' to read this month. Debz, I read 'The Road Home' earlier this year. Rose Tremain is one of my favourite authors because I think she's so varied. I've just acquired a copy of 'Music and Silence' which I'm really looking forward to.

Debz, I'm glad that you're enjoying The Road Home. I agree with snoopy - she is such a versatile author - Music and Silence is excellent although totally different in style and subject

I absolutely loved The Music room, not sure whether it is out in paperback and remember that it was quite expensive in hardback but I am sure that it could be pre ordered from a library.......
