VA Book Club: Add These to Your Reading List

I've been sneak reading.
The post VA Book Club: Add These to Your Reading List appeared first on Vicki Archer.

I’ve been sneak reading.
You know when you are into a seriously good read and you take every opportunity to snatch another 1000 words – that’s me. I lost reading for a while, I mean book reading; I am always reading but it tends to be online. Far too much online, but that has been how it is and it is easy to be seduced by the digital world.

The books I have been reading, The Dry and Standard Deviation aren’t intellectual mind-benders simply great reads. They hold your attention and for me with a brain scattered in a million directions, is a very great thing. Relaxing, purposeful and pleasurable. Grabbing 5 minutes between meetings or at lunchtime, on transport or in the mornings has been a delight.
I have a feeling we have a good book in common. Last weekend you gave me brilliant reading ideas and after a long time coming we are just about ready to launch our VA book club.

To join our book club gang register your interest HERE.

We will share titles, read and put our heads together over the content. All suggestions very welcome. xv
