• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

Listened to The Girl Who Was Taken by Charlie Donlea in 2 days (had to finish before it wasn't free on Audible anymore), but I'd buy this. Lots of POV's including the criminal's. Nice red herrings and a written version of the TV show, Bones, without the genius personality :)
 
Sometimes it can take months for me to finish a novel. Sometimes years if I've read other things in between chapters as I often do. I regularly have several novels on the go at the same time, reading or listening to a few chapters of one and then another and another before returning to the one I started before all the others. I finish most of them eventually.

But occasionally I'll get hooked enough to read from start to finish in one weekend the way I used to as a teenager.

This is what I've been doing this weekend with Gliff by Ali Smith.

Unbelievably believably brilliant.
