pickHarold & Maureen are an older retired couple in England. When he hears that his old coworker and friend is dying, he decides to walk hundreds of miles to visit her in hospice. That simple premise leads to unexpected friendships & quiet processing of painful past moments. It's not a book with big plot twists, but instead is an introspective novel about how our choices & the people around us shape our world. It was lovely to spend time with Harold.
pickA farmer‘s wife living in England begins a relationship with a museum curator in Denmark by way of exchanging letters and emails. I thought this was a charming and thoughtful little tale. It‘s well written and very engaging. I enjoy epistolary type of books and this one fitted the bill exactly. I read this for my local book group where we all chose two of our favourites and then picked one or more of the ones we hadn‘t read. An enjoyable read.
pickVery good. Fictionalised biography of Henry VIII. Well written and full of detail.

Thanks to @LeeRHarry for pointing out my error on my last post - this is now correct!
Best book of #August. @Catsandbooks
i wanted to read this book before watching the movie, but i‘m not really enjoying it 👀 i think it‘ll be a story i enjoy more in movie format.
Am I the only one being driven mad by the fact that some characters pronounce it Ven-tham and others Vent-ham?
pickOkay. I watched The Thursday Murder Club on Netflix. I “may” have squealed a little when David Tennant first came on screen.
I scared the napping dog next to me. (So judge-y)
The movie was pure delight. The cast was magic. I even loved Joyce (who I disliked in the book). I only disagreed with one of the changes they made from the book; and not enough to really care. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
