Thanks for those but if they are brand new, we'll probably wait for the paper back. That reminds me of the old Lineone/Tiscali/TalkTalk book forum. I got a lot of good tips from them.

I will definitely buy Maggie O'Farrell.

I bought my son-in-law a book about AI as part of his Christmas so if he enjoys that I might buy him the other one.

I'm still reading "A Popular Survey of the Old Testament" which I was reading in 2024. I'm now at the book of Haggai! I'll finish it one day, and then I'll start on the New Testament!

I'd be interested in the chapter on Lot.

If I remember I shall report.
