This discussion is due to start tomorrow, so Id better create this thread now. I will update this comment when I have time to add an introduction to the book and links to reviews. I will create the spoiler thread (or threads) tomorrow.

I expect to finish reading later today - who will be joining me?

Evie Wyld is an Australian writer who now lives in London, where she works in a bookshop. The Bass Rock is her third and most recent novel.

Catherine | 71 comments Just starting it! I spent a lovely weekend at Bass Rock several years ago. Looking forward to it.


RJ - Slayer of Trolls (hawk5391yahoocom) For some reason the title of this book makes me think of It Takes Two by Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock. Hit it!

Sadly the name of the rock (a real place in Scotland) is not pronounced that way - it rhymes with lass and mass.

Beverly | 142 comments I am planning on joining this conversation but am a little delayed in starting The Bass Rock. I have had the book for a little while so I am looking forward to reading this book.
