I borrowed The Lost Tudor Princess by Alison Weir from Libby, the library app. I haven’t finished it and can’t renew it as someone else is waiting, so I have put a Hold on it and it will come back to me at some point so I can finish it. I normally read quickly but find Alison Weir’s work so packed with names and dates and so dense that I can only read small amounts at a time, or I start to go brain dead. |

I have finished Forget-me-not girl and really enjoyed it. Reading the suthors note at the end confirmed my suspicions that it was based on truth. apparently the main character Emma (the Forget-me not girl) was her Great Grandmother and she researched her life and wrote the book mostly fact, part fiction on her. It is very informing while being a light read. And, as it only cost me a£1 really good value. |

I am reading a paperback at the moment picked up in the works £1 sale. By Sheila Newberry it is called The Forget-me-not Girl. Quite a light read but nostalgic as well starts in 1936 then flashes back to 1836, quite a lot of general historic information covering all sorts of things like farming communities, the RN and ship life, Life as a cook in a big house etc, sort of a fictional biographic. She is a talented writer I see she has written a lot of books but this is the first of hers I have read, I will look out for more as it is good holiday reading. |

That sounds like a good dip in and out book Dermot. At Christmas OH was given a book of 2041 facts from QI, the TV programme. It’s sitting on a desk upstairs and every time I go by I open it at random and read another fact that generally makes me smile. |

I've added Rebecca Tope to my "to be read" list Ann. Trouble is, the list is getting longer and longer. |

A book I cannot recommend enough is Pearls Of Childhood by Vera Gissing. Vera was born in Czechoslovakia in 1928. Aged just 11 Vera and her older sister Eva escaped on the Kindertransport. Vera began writing diaries of her experiences and these form the basis of her book. |

I’m now rereading First Light by Geoffrey Wellum. I absolutely love this book about his experience training to be a fighter pilot just as WW2 is about to break out. |
