My first for 2020 will be ‘Wakenhyrst’ by Michelle Paver. It was a Christmas present from DD. It is described as ‘a darkly. gothic thriller’! Hmm!

My first book of the year is Melmoth by Sarah Perry.

Caramac, you’re in for such a treat with The Salt Path!

First time on the thread for me also. I love to read so looking forward to suggestions. CARAMAC I have read The Salt Path and really enjoyed it, helped of course because I live in Cornwall on the Coast Path,
I am reading The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield.

‘The Salt Path’ is a great book. Very engaging. I’m reading Elena Ferrante, book 2 in the Neapolitan series.

I love seeing what others are reading and get some ideas. Always nice to pick up a recommended book!

I’ve got Pride & Prejudice to read this month too for our book club. We’ve been going 12y!

Caramac, gabble away grin it's always good to get feed back on posters' reads. Welcome to the thread.

First time I have participated but as an avid reader of both books and e-books I look forward to seeing what other Gransnetters are reading. Please prompt me if I gabble on too much or if I get anything wrong.
Today I shall begin reading The Salt Path’ by Raynor Winn.
It’s about a couple who having faced a few years of adversity and finally ground down by it all, decide to walk the 630 mile South West Coast Path.
I think this will be a really interesting read.
