A reminder that unless someone is happy to host, there will be no #devonbookhour tomorrow as I'm sailing on the high seas (well, the Solent)

Sad to be exiled but am sure you are always welcomed back. Do tell us more about the books #devonbookhour
These from the 2010s written by a born Devonian exiled in West Yorkshire

Going live with this week's #devonbookhour, chatting about books from the 1970 s and 2010s PLUS what are you reading this week? I've just started Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Echo. A complicated start. I wonder if it continues that way. Anyone read it?

Books read there - L'Instant Present by Guillaume Musso, How We Disappeared by Jing Jing Lee and Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. Beaches and books - great combination. How's your reading been? #devonbookhour
ooh although we love books we want to hear about Myrtos!

Now reading Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. 75% through. Enjoyed the building tension until it started to come to a head and, like many 'horror' stories, it's got a bit silly and I'm struggling - what horror stories have worked for you? #devonbookhour

Finished reading How We Disappeared by Jing Jing Lee - based on true accounts of the 'comfort women' who were prisoners of the Japanese in WW2 Singapore. Very moving - especially the shame that made re-intigration so difficult after the war - a double torture. #devonbookhour

Gratuitous picture of one of the best beaches in the world. Myrtos, Kephalonia. Its 10PM here so will only be online for 15-20 mins. Hope your book week has been a good one. Anyone here for #devonbookhour this week?
