I found it to be touching and funny in equal measures, and it reminded me of some of the older adults that I've met (probably even some that I'm related to!)]]> 2019-09-01 14:42:13 UTC https://padlet.com/fiona_kennedy2/83wfaf2xn6o9/wish/378960616 kmclau10 https://padlet.com/fiona_kennedy2/83wfaf2xn6o9/wish/387727291 I listened to this first of all on Audible - Stephen Fry narrates, and he's just brilliant. I spent too much time chuckling away at him, that I felt I was missing the details, so bought the book aswell. Can't recommend it enough!]]> 2019-09-22 10:33:18 UTC https://padlet.com/fiona_kennedy2/83wfaf2xn6o9/wish/387727291 louise_mckendrick34 https://padlet.com/fiona_kennedy2/83wfaf2xn6o9/wish/388163301 This is a lovely heartwarming book by a Scottish author. I found it very touching and there is a lovely underlying message about the impact of social connection on a person. I think I might be a bit late in reading it and most of you will know about it already! But if you have not read it I would highly recommend it.]]> 2019-09-23 13:39:10 UTC https://padlet.com/fiona_kennedy2/83wfaf2xn6o9/wish/388163301 ccrawf209 https://padlet.com/fiona_kennedy2/83wfaf2xn6o9/wish/388291574 There's not a whole lot to say on this, it seems never ending! ]]> 2019-09-23 16:03:40 UTC https://padlet.com/fiona_kennedy2/83wfaf2xn6o9/wish/388291574 sinead_mckee https://padlet.com/fiona_kennedy2/83wfaf2xn6o9/wish/388388482 I love listening to Graham Norton's radio and TV chat show but didn't know what to expect. It's an odd story but keeps you engaged - so much so that I read it in a day. Definitely recommend it. Not just because of the price!]]> 2019-09-23 18:04:55 UTC https://padlet.com/fiona_kennedy2/83wfaf2xn6o9/wish/388388482 benjamin_fisher7 https://padlet.com/fiona_kennedy2/83wfaf2xn6o9/wish/389536253 I had the opportunity to visit Cambodia earlier in the summer and had a short space of time to explore the capital Phnom Penh. The Lonely Planet Guides have always been my go to travel guides since the 90s, even though there is now so much choice.]]> 2019-09-25 15:33:11 UTC https://padlet.com/fiona_kennedy2/83wfaf2xn6o9/wish/389536253 natalia_farmer1 https://padlet.com/fiona_kennedy2/83wfaf2xn6o9/wish/389981209 I read this on holiday this summer in southern Spain, where this book is also located. Just loved the subtle style throughout, and the relationships between the characters. Definitely one of those books that left me sad to approach the final page! ]]> 2019-09-26 12:13:35 UTC https://padlet.com/fiona_kennedy2/83wfaf2xn6o9/wish/389981209 sdoche206 https://padlet.com/fiona_kennedy2/83wfaf2xn6o9/wish/391256632 This was a gift from my sister who raved about how it changed her way of thinking... This book helps you discover why you are the way you are. Very interesting...I really should finish it.]]> 2019-09-30 11:12:28 UTC https://padlet.com/fiona_kennedy2/83wfaf2xn6o9/wish/391256632 ryan_kean https://padlet.com/fiona_kennedy2/83wfaf2xn6o9/wish/391271574 I read this on holiday this summer. It is a novel and side story from the Scottish crime fiction writer Stuart MacBride. Easy to read and full of dark and witty Scottish humour!]]> 2019-09-30 11:57:13 UTC https://padlet.com/fiona_kennedy2/83wfaf2xn6o9/wish/391271574 neil_mchugh https://padlet.com/fiona_kennedy2/83wfaf2xn6o9/wish/391386567 I 'borrowed' this from my partner to read while we were on holiday.

The current flavour of the month is this!  ]]> 2019-09-30 20:49:23 UTC https://padlet.com/fiona_kennedy2/83wfaf2xn6o9/wish/391587688 eilidh_martin https://padlet.com/fiona_kennedy2/83wfaf2xn6o9/wish/391721126 I was on my way to Florence and looking for a holiday book at the airport. This book starts in Florence so was perfect. Very easy reading but ideal for by the pool in Tuscany. ]]> 2019-10-01 07:44:49 UTC https://padlet.com/fiona_kennedy2/83wfaf2xn6o9/wish/391721126 ksalze200 https://padlet.com/fiona_kennedy2/83wfaf2xn6o9/wish/393592160 I read this about ten years ago and found it fascinating.  I saw it in a kindle sale and decided it was worth reading again. Being a series of case studies makes it great to pick up when I have a few minutes to read]]> 2019-10-04 14:44:36 UTC https://padlet.com/fiona_kennedy2/83wfaf2xn6o9/wish/393592160 jcoope208 https://padlet.com/fiona_kennedy2/83wfaf2xn6o9/wish/398466324 I read this on my holiday a few weeks ago, which technically wasn't during the summer. It's the first book I've read cover to cover in probably a couple of years. I'd thoroughly recommend it!]]> 2019-10-16 13:52:17 UTC https://padlet.com/fiona_kennedy2/83wfaf2xn6o9/wish/398466324
