This was exactly the description of the list that I was looking for this afternoon. All of them look really interesting. I think I'll start with "Restless" by William Boyd. I feel like a good spy novel but I could start with any of them, really, except the Hilary Mantel. I love the story so far, I love the period, but that is a whopper! August - those long hot days when you don't want to move - that's when I'll sink into a book like that.
Thank you. I had no idea this had been run before, so many thanks for highlighting it. I need to get to know my local library in Arundel once it opens again, but in the meantime I've ordered from Waterstones: The Boy, The Mole ..., looks an ideal coffee table book to delve into. Where the Crawdads Sing, and The Architect's Apprentice. Elif Shafak's 10minutes 38Seconds bowled me over and I still well up whenever I think about it. Looking forward to #TheReadingRoom !!
