Just wondering what all you lovehoneys are reading, I’m working my way through all the classic Doctor Who’s, on the Tom Baker period at the moment.
I love paper books but am using the kindle for convenience.

Currently reading Judas Priest’s lead singer Rob Halford’s autobiography, loving his dry wit and references my local area. Very interesting to read why he didn’t officially come out as gay until much later in his life, even though it was an open secret to most of his fans.

@Squirrel_and_Bunny You may want to check out the album Transitus by Ayreon, it’s a concept album narrated by Tom Baker, and he’s perfect in the role!

Anatomy of a scandal. Just finished reading normal people and it was absolutely filthy. Worse than the bbc series

Ooh! Nice thread…
I’m in a book group and we meet by Zoom now.
Once a month.
Next book (discussion in a week, haven’t read it yet) is ‘I Capture the Castle’ by Dodie Smith.
I’ve read the first few pages - so far, so good.

Loved that book as a kid!

I did too. 
My kids are enjoying it as well, but I do have to stop for a chat about certain things every now and again.

I can’t remember much about it - I bought it for mine but they didn’t read it. There is probably a lot of non-PC stuff in there! (Goes off to dig out a copy…)

It has been updated a little (Frannie instead of Fanny, and a few things like that), but the tone is pretty similar. I think there would be a few things to chat about anyway, as sneaking off in the middle of the night to climb a magic tree is definitely ill-advised.

Yes, it is Frannie in our copy, but I remember her name being Fanny.
‘Creepy’, the ugly thieving gnome! And a mother who hopes to take in washing to buy some hens, while father goes to work… a loaf of bread and jam for tea! Fabulous… 
Hopefully kids these days don’t creep off in the middle of the night - the doors are locked! Although I do remember one of ours at 5yrs announcing they were going to run away and join a children’s home… Same kid could climb (trees and climbing frames) before they could walk - I tried really hard not to say, ‘careful!’, but to stand and wait - heart in hand.
Still, good stories for imaginative kids.

Slightly off topic, but have either of you seen The Comic Strip Presents Five Go Mad on Mescaline, parody? Hilarious!
