UPDATE: I have now read all of these books – read my thoughts here.
Richard and Judy have revealed the eight books to make it into their new book club:
Operation Mincemeat – Ben Macintyre
A Place of Secrets – Rachel Hore
Waiting for Columbus – Thomas Trofimuk
The Crying Tree – Naseem Rakha
My initial thoughts are that this is a fantastic selection of books!
I’m a bit sad that I haven’t read any yet, but half are already in my sights. I was very impressed by the sounds of The Snowman, but decided that I wanted to start the series at the beginning. I even had The Redbreast out of the library earlier this year, but didn’t get round to starting it. Now I’m torn over whether I should just start with The Snowman. What do you think?
I’m also gutted that I haven’t already read The Wilding. It was one of only three books from the Orange long list that I didn’t read. I’m kicking myself for not completing the list now!
I have heard wonderful things about The Crying Tree and Waiting for Columbus. These two books appeal to me most, so I think I’ll grab copies as soon as I can.
I haven’t heard of the others before, but look forward to finding out more about them.
What do you think of the list?
Have you read any of the books?
