Read then Write - 26/2/26

Well I finally managed to finish "Grandad there's a Head on the Beach"! 

Grandad, There's a Head on the Beach by Colin Cotterill
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Well if this was ever made into a film it would be fast and furious and completely farcical. Which is a shame given that at the heart of the story is the awful way Burmese people are treated in Thailand and used as slaves in the fishing trade. But I just couldn’t get on board with it. It took me 10 days to read this book and it’s only just over 300 pages long! It probably wasn’t helped by it being the 2nd book in a series but I’m certainly not going to read the first or the last.

It will be interesting to see what other members of the book group think of it.

I've now moved on to this book:

This is the evening book group's choice.  I'm enjoying it so far although I was a bit on the fence about The Miniaturist by the same author.  But I need to fit more reading time in if I'm to meet my targets.  Doesn't help when you end up binge watching a series that's based on a book I haven't actually read.  I don't usually like reading books after I've seen a TV show or film but I might have to make an exception.  The series was Curfew based on a book by Jayne Cowie.  

Oops, I got so engrossed in the final episode that this post is slightly late lol.
