Join us for Crime at the Coast this Sunday at @TorquayMuseum. We'll be discussing crime in wartime, cosy crime, and other things a bit too close to home when it comes to murder! #crimewriters @MichaelJecks @AJMacKnovels @NellDixon @BookDevon @ExeterCityofLit

@katelordbrown Thanks. I'll see if I can get to any of those 🙂

[Devon Book Club @BookDevon]

What a shame. I've an appointment in Tiverton at 11.40 so wouldn't get there in time. I'd have loved to have met you. Do you have any other events coming up? I'm sure some of our book loving community will be there. Have fun.

Devon book lovers - come along to @BudleighLitFest Weds 23rd at 12pm, love to see you! https://t.co/ilsB52xA5j @DevonLife @BookDevon

@WhatEmsReadingX Glad it's not only me. I'm always surprised when even the best writers fall prey to these cliches. I guess they sneak in and editors either don't see them or don't think they are a problem. Editors out there - what do you think?

[Devon Book Club @BookDevon]

Suzanne Clark writes well. I've not read the other book. Will look forward to hearing your thoughts. My big book for the Autumn will be Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon. Not read him before.

@DebbieJH629 Far too soon! 🙂

@Winston_C1874 I have heard of it but never read it. So many good books have come out of Ireland.

[Devon Book Club @BookDevon]

Thanks Jane. What a great shortlist. 6 very different books. I didnt get around to reading the longlisted books so haven't any sense of those that didn't make the final 6. I'd love to hear people's houghts on those as well 🙂

@ParanormalJunk2 Whilst it often feels bleak I think that pretty well every period in history can point to that experience. And, this point in time enjoys many benefits that other periods in history would hardly believe possible..so, I remain an optimistic.🙂

@bookplatypus @derbypromo Thanks - I think I had heard of that now you come to mention it

@bookplatypus @derbypromo How interesting. What was the outcome of the trespass?

[Devon Book Club @BookDevon]

@levisackermxn Not sure I can choose a best but The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann comes close and I love everything by Kristin Hannah, oh and Land by Maggie O'Farrell and ...

[Devon Book Club @BookDevon]
