I’ve read most of these, except You Are Here, which is coming up at Bookclub (I saw David Nicholls recently at The Winchester Book Festival, he really is lovely☺️ ) and The Beekeeper of Aleppo, which I will definitely add to my list 🙏. I’d 100% agree with your thoughts. I mean, The Women - Wow! What an incredible book. All were Bookclub reads for me too except The Keeper of Stories, which was my own choice. I love that being part of a Bookclub stretches my reading and introduces me to books and authors I may not have found on my own, although some it’s been hard to miss 😉.
Thanks Lesley. I’m a fan of David Nicholls. I loved Sweet Sorrow. I don’t think I would have selected The Women had it not been for book club. It’s just really nice to sit and talk books and a good way to prioritise reading. What are you currently reading? 📖
I’m on a romantasy romp! I’m not adverse to fantasy, although it wouldn’t be my usual choice, but my Bookclub chose Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros and I was hooked, so I’m now on the second book, Iron Flame. There are strong themes of friendship, loyalty, and a corrupt government (very topical) as well as the hot romance, and of course dragons 😛
I think they are, there was a table dedicated to the three books (so far) in Waterstones at the weekend. I didn't think fantasy was my thing either, who knew!

Are they the ones that are massive bestsellers? Fantasy has never been my thing but it’s so popular. Enjoy!

I saw the table too. I love it when we discover new books outside what we'd usually read. Enjoy!
