As usual a wide variety of books were read among them Poet by Michael Connelly, this book kept the reader engrossed to the last page. The Keeper of Lost Things was well written by Lyn Hogan.

Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantell and the sequel Bring Up the Bodies were discussed along with Stateless by Anna Coslove. Alice enjoyed Everything is Teeth by Joseph Summer. An old favourite Alexander McCall Smith was mentioned and Minette Walters story The Last Hours set in England in 1348 about the Black Plague provoked comparison with Geraldine Brooks.
