I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!

I didn‘t know what to expect of this book. I thought was more summery funny theme. But it was more intense. It has some funny parts. These persons spent few summer days at the Pendizack Manor Hotel which collapsed. Some of these guests died others survived. The book is about these guests personalities, lives during their visit. In those dialogues and self talking the author gives us a perspective of that era, with criticism in various aspects⬇️

Gissy I really liked it, specially those lines in Mr. Paley diary. It could be a slow reading pace but not for me. I just wanted to know what was going to happened to these characters. The book was recommended by YouTuber Miranda Mills 4⭐️

I really enjoyed this story, set in Cornwall in 1947. You know how it ends but not who gets killed. Some of the characters are quite nasty and horrible.

Tamra I loved how awful they were! 2y
emmaturi Yes they really were! @Tamra 2y

What a fun suspenseful ride with some dreadful people! It‘s not a spoiler to say there is a pummeling.

erzascarletbookgasm @Cathythoughts @batsy @LeahBergen Let me get a copy from BD first! 😁 🏃‍♀️ 2y
batsy @erzascarletbookgasm Sure thing! I was mulling over getting a print copy too but I might just go with the Kindle version. I'm perilously close to being buried under my books 😂 2y
Cathythoughts @batsy Sorry Suba , I meant to put your name I‘m their too 👍❤️... there‘s no rush @erzascarletbookgasm we can push it out as much as we want 😁 2y

batsy @LeahBergen @Cathythoughts @erzascarletbookgasm Yes, that would be nice! Fits with the setting. Shall we pencil this in for June? 🙂 2y

There's not a ton of stuff I missed about the office, whilst working from home. But lunch from the halal cart + reading was certainly one of them 🙂

Cathythoughts Looks good 😊 3y
Gissy I bought that book recently but I haven‘t read it yet. 3y
LeahBergen I‘ve had this one on my TBR for years. 🙄 3y

LauraBrook Both the book and food look good! 3y
Liz_M Looks good, but it needs more white sauce. 😁 3y
batsy I'm interested to read this one! 3y
quietjenn @Liz_M well, I will never say no to more white sauce! Although the picture is maybe not fair as I definitely stirred it better after this and it was pretty sufficient. 3y
quietjenn @Gissy @LeahBergen @batsy @Cathythoughts @LauraBrook it's worth getting to! A little slow in the beginning and it takes a little while to sort how who's who and what their stories are, but now I am fully committed and all about it! 3y

Well this is really quite something. I liked it a lot. I deliberately skipped the introduction before I read it so it wouldn‘t spoil anything for me and it really repaid me. I need to go and have a look at what the blurb says before I write any more so I don‘t give too much away. A complete page-turner.

AlaMich This sounds intriguing! But if I look it up online, will any synopsis be a spoiler? Can you give a non-spoilery summary? 😊 3y
Verity @AlaMich ok so it‘s set in the week running up to the cliff collapsing on the hotel, and you know from the start that not everyone survives. You spend the week getting to know all the people who live and work at the hotel and the ins and outs of their lives. I don‘t think that‘s a spoiler. 3y
AlaMich @Verity No, that sounds perfect…thank you! It will be added to my TBR list. 3y
