    Hey Paul I have read Hafren and Bog People and thoroughly enjoyed them both.
    I found Moonlight Express a little disappointing if I’m honest.
    As always a good rounded list you have here.

      I have just started Bog People today so I’ll let you know in due course what I think of it. I’ll bear that in mind about Moonlight Express. Her first two were really good

  2. Penny Hull

    I was strong and only added one new book (Hafren) to the mountain!

    • Paul

      FAINTS!

    I really enjoyed Moonlight Express myself, my first of hers but I want to pick up the two older ones. I have started Slow Trains Around Britain and really enjoying it at the moment, but my reading has slowed in the last week as we’ve had some family crises.

    • Paul

      That is good to know. I am sorry to hear that. I hope that you are ok, and that they are resolved soon
