Can I suggest my novel The Armageddon Two-Step? Or must it be published in 2020? Mine was released Dec. 3. Thanks. --Michael Loyd Gray

[Ivor]

I will second The Wall by John Lanchester

[Debbie]

yay, thank you Ivor x

[Lisa]

Debbie! Welcome back!

I will second Jason's suggestion of The Testaments - although it is only in hardback so it bends our rules? However, it is a bestseller so is basically the same price as a paperback in a lot of places... What do you think, Paul?

[Debbie]

thanks Lisa xx

[Pat]

I’ll second The testament

[Pat]

Sorry just noticed someone else has.

Amazon do it for £9.99 but most other places have it for £16 and up. I still think it is a little new to include. Libraries West where I am, have 100 copies and all bar one are on loan.

[Jason]

So I go to the naughty step? :-)

[Paul]

No, not at all. Think of another. I am going to nominate Our Endless Numbered Days which I have just read and thought was really good

Ah, fair enough. I got it from Costco for £8 😮

I'll second yours, then, Paul! #suckuptothemods
