A few of the authors I haven't heard of so I would be grateful for any feedback from any of the group who have read them.

If any of you live near a town or village where a local shop could set up a book exchange it may be worth your while to put it to them to give it a try. They would certainly get customers for their store if they did. The main idea is to take some books with you and exchange the same number for ones you'd like to read. Or, if you have no books to exchange with you just put a donation into any charity collecting boxes the store may have on the counter. Of course you could also set one up to raise money for a local cause.
I would love to do something like that myself but I'm not well enough and never know how I'm going to be from one day to the next. But any of the above options is fun.
Happy reading everyone!
