I’ve been searching for this book on my shelves all week. Finally found it today. I think I need to reorganize so I can find things better. #booknerd #thethursdaymurderclub #richardosman #1000booksmakesalibrary https://www.instagram.com/p/CpDjrMIucyD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hello everyone and hope your week is going well. I’ve just arrived in Inverness after a very cool road trip from Aberdeen so here’s a post I prepared earlier - the #coffeebookchallenge which I saw on @katereadbooks page! Espresso - a book that was hard to get through Betty by Tiffany McDaniel. This is a heartbreaking and horribly sad book with multiple trigger warnings. However it’s also one of my all time favourites 😍 Mocha - an emotional read Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell This won the @womensprize a few years ago and I’ve never cheered so loudly for a book that has won before. Adored this story!! 😍 Latte - a sweet read The House In The Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune Another one of those books I recommend to everyone I meet. I fell in love with every single one of the characters - a real feel-good novel 🥰 Cappuccino - a book that everyone has read but me 🙈 Am I the last person in the world to read The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman? Macchiato - favourite book of the year Brickmakers by Selva Almada I have quite a few books of the year so far, it’s been a great reading year but this is the one that’s jumping out at the moment. Translated by Annie McDermott and available from my new favourite publisher @charcopress this small but mighty novel packs an almighty punch! I’d love to know your thoughts on any of these books or authors. Let’s have a chat in the comments! #bookstagram #scottishbookstagrammer #bookstackchallenge #betty #tiffanymcdaniel #hamnet #maggieofarrell #womensprizewinners #thehouseintheceruleansea #tjklune #thethursdaymurderclub #richardosman #brickmakers #selvaalmada #anniemcdermott #booksintranslation #charcopress #favouritebooksofalltime #favouritebook2022 https://www.instagram.com/p/ClUDAbyLipP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hi Gina!

I’ve brought you a tweet [cue booing from the tumblr crowd] but for good reason!

It started with a crotchety guy claiming “no one over 40 knew who Harry Styles was.” Older Harry fans have been raising hell in his mentions ever since, but this tweet by Richard Osman (https://twitter.com/richardosman/status/1641744847999574016) has sparked a lot of love for him. I’ve enjoyed reading the replies with my coffee like it’s the morning paper. Maybe you will too! ♥️

Oh I love that. Thank you so much for sharing it! I fully agree with him (and the people who commented). I really don’t understand the need for people to act like they’re too cool for popular things. 🙄

The Forbes article is great. It shows they don't have a brand, people don't really want to know about them, the only thing people want to know about is the BRF.

The book sales for Spare are actually huge - https://twitter.com/richardosman/status/1613107291078672384

Ironically, I reckon it's because W&K have been so private, there's a huge appetite for content about them. The Queen still held a lot of mystery, and all of Charles' gushy public stuff happened a generation ago so young people today don't immediately associate him with that.

People know that Harry isn't a reliable narrator, by who really wants to read the same old Katie Nicholl articles talking about how Kate changed uni to meet Will? Literally no one knows why she changed uni to this day.

I'd put money on the fact that people would read another book by Harry describing his genitalia, provided it contained any new info about Kate that answered old mysteries!

Just like Meghan mistook the public's interest in a Royal wedding as a direct interest in her (an unknown cable TV actress from America), Harry will mistake the popularity of the book as validation that he is bigger than the BRF. We have seen this before and we know where this flawed premise leads to in the end. You are right, there will be a second book and it will be best seller as well, and the BRF will continue to extend him olive branches which gives him the material he needs to fight the next battle against them. Madness.

Hoy guacamole. How in the heck are we in September? I am losing track of the days, the only real way of knowing that summer is slowly slipping into the past is by the fact that I am having to turn the lights on earlier and earlier in an evening. Maybe even needing to turn them on in the morning too… That is a bit of a bonus to be honest, as the cat uses daylight to determine what time I am meant…

Favorite tweets: Farewell blue tick, old friend. Don't forget, always set your feed to 'Following' rather than 'For You'. Then you'll keep seeing the people you actually follow, and not people who've paid for attention. https://t.co/8q9iboOoNj — Richard Osman (@richardosman) Apr 20, 2023

The Thursday Murder Club

Author - Richard Osman

Rating - Lit!

As you will find out, I’m a sucker for worldbuilding. But I didn’t expect that such a rich world could be built within a retirement village. Coopers Chase and its vibrant residents could be compared to King’s Landing or Hobbiton in terms of vivid storytelling and a wealth of diverse characters. And when a murder happens on their doorstep, this world opens up into one of danger, intrigue, and adventure.

My favourite thing about these novels is their heart. There are no jokes at the expense of the characters, no ironic shrugs or winks to show that “isn’t it funny how these old people are carrying on?”, Richard Osman clearly respects the characters he has created and that care shines through every page.

The titular club is made up of four members: Elizabeth- a former spy, Ron- an ex-union leader, Ibrahim- a psychiatrist, and Joyce- an ex-nurse. Osman has spoken about his opinion that class factors into every story (especially those written by British authors) and purposefully split his group in half: Elizabeth and Ibrahim who could certainly be put firmly in middle to upper class; and Ron and Joyce who lived their lives as working class people only to raise successful children who have traversed classes and now look upon their parents with a mixture of shame and pity. And that’s just a sub-plot!

Most of the book is written in third person but Joyce gets chapters devoted to her recounts of events- an interesting technique to not only provide more information, but also a chance for a fascinating character study from an unconventional protagonist. Joyce’s chapters were some of my favourites, but I might be biased because of how spot-on Osman’s depiction of working class women is. It felt like I was walking through my local M&S, hearing the inner-thoughts of the women who I have grown up around. It was nice to see this type of person respected and treated with such love, humour, and pride.

The minor characters are no less rich in their inner lives: DCI Chris Hudson, who has food addiction issues and a big heart, DCI Donna De Freitas, a young black PC who has just moved from London and struggles with feeling lonely in a largely white town, Bogdan, the local handy-man who becomes the chess-playing companion of Elizabeth’s husband Stephen, who is beginning to struggle with Dementia (which Elizabeth is trying to hide from the others). I could go on and list so many more interesting characters who all have their secrets, but who all fundamentally care about other people.

Both books in this duology serve up delicious mysteries; filled with twists and turns, ups and down, mis-steps and misdirections. On multiple occasions I actually gasped out loud! In press and interviews Osman is rightly praised for the humour that is added to the mix, but I feel that this angle minimises the truly exceptional murder-mystery that he has woven. I love a mystery book that likes to provide hints to allow you the moment of superiority, “Oh! I know who did it!” and then completely blindsides you in the following chapter. It kept me guessing throughout, and I never solved it before Osman wanted me to.

Overall, my favourite thing about these books was how good they made me feel. I cried, I laughed, I gasped, I devoured it. Coopers Chase is a small society in which all of its residents have learnt that life is short; and it is for living in. The themes that run through both novels are lonliness, and its cure: love. And after I finished both books in one weekend, I left Coopers Chase feeling inspired- another twist ending that I hadn’t seen coming!
