#TurnAPageTuesday 'Unsheltered' by Barbara Kingsolver This is a well written book. It appealed to me as someone who's done up an old house, as it centres on a house which is falling down and beyond repair. It's a contemporary snapshot into family life. - Helen https://t.co/EzrpnCEkOD

It's #TurnAPageTuesday and I'm really enjoying "The Lincoln Highway" by Amor Towles. It has well-drawn characters, backstories that keep you guessing and a journey across America. I reckon it would make a great film. Which book would you turn into a film? Liz https://t.co/RFxBVTzKCW

#TurnAPageTuesday ‘Legends of Dune’ by Brian Herbert & K.J Anderson I started listening to this, mistaking it for ‘Dune by Frank Herbert. I’m really enjoying it. His son set these stories prior to Frank Herbert’s Dune series. Epic sci-fi. - Fiona https://t.co/40hVUa6iXa
