I have taken some of the new books home to test read. The ones I enjoyed most were The Medici Seal by Theresa Breslin and Exchange by Paul Magrs. The Medici Seal is a terrific historical adventure set in medieval Italy involving Leonardo Da Vinci. Exchange is about an amazing bookshop and how reading can be a lifesaver to some people - something I would agree with.
One book that I didn't expect to enjoy was The Spook's apprentice by Joseph Delaney because I don't usually like creepy stuff, but it was brilliant. I will be looking out for the next one.

Back to school
At the first meeting of the Staff Reading Group we discussed our holiday reading. Our recommendations were
Stef Penney The Tenderness of Wolves, "brilliant"
We need to talk about Kevin by Lionel Shriver "disturbing" Celia Ahearn A place called here, "pleasant enough",
Zadie Smith On beauty, "OK" and
No wonder I take a drink by Louise Marney "laugh out loud funny".
Try one and let us know what you think.
