LindaB I finished Sankofa. Thought the ending was a tad rushed and weak, at least compared to the rest of the book, but still a good read and certainly thought provoking.

Thanks again xx

I haven’t read anything over Christmas. That’s really unusual for me as I usually read 4 or 5 books each week xx

[LindaB]

Lynne K you'll get back to it Im sure....but a lot going on for you just now. Take care xx

[Lynne K]

LindaB thanks Linda xx

I hate a poor ending

I wouldn't go so far as a "poor ending", I just thought it was weaker than the rest of the book but it will be interesting to hear what others think.

As for you getting back to the book today - yeah, yeah... we both know Wordle will win today's leisure time battle 🤣🤣🤣😘

[LindaB]

Well it was such a sudden ending I thought I'd skipped a few pages Ellie ....had to check & check again🤓😃

I did enjoy the writing & story overall in Sankofa...probably not a book I would have chosen had I not heard it discussed on TV. I wanted to know more....

What's next.....📚

So, it wasn't just me then...

I liked these books, not sure if they've been mentioned before or if they're on BorrowBox, Kindle etc.

Everything I Never Told You, Catherine Ng


My current listen is Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty.

'Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty.'
I think that's the family from the series I watched 'Dopesick' with Michael Keaton.

I'll look at the others👍🏻😘

I really enjoyed the series...😘

I think Lynne K recommended the author David Baldacci previously.🤔

I've downloaded Mercy & Long Road to Mercy via BorrowBox. I've never read his books so will give him a go👍🏻📚

[Lynne K]

LindaB thats great Linda. You ought to be wow’d by Baldacci, enjoy xx

[Ellie]

Not an Audiobook but a podcast: Sweet Bobby (6 eps) is worth a listen and think "would I have done the same?"

And I thoroughly enjoyed The Lazarus Heist on BBC Sounds (10 eps) xx
