I’m still watching the show though I still haven’t quite made up my mind about it yet. This week’s featured book – Rapture by Liz Jensen – was featured for exactly 9 minutes. I suppose that’s better than nothing but if it was me I wouldn’t have been so impressed by the amount of time [...]
Browsing Richard and Judy Book Club™
The TV Book Club this week
January and February
dear God, what has the weather been like over the last few weeks?
There really is no other option to preserve sanity than curling up in bed with a good book, so that’s what most of us have been doing.
This month we kicked off the 2010 Book Group with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by [...]
Richard and Judy Book Club back to Channel 4
Richard & Judy are coming BACK to Channel 4 – with their Book Club
There’s good news and bad news for Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan.
After being sensationally dropped by digital channel Watch (because people weren’t) it seems their Book Club has been snapped up as a stand-alone programme by those nice people at Channel 4. [...]
Richard and Judy nobody WATCHing
Richard and Judy, one of television’s most enduring partnerships, have called time on their chat show after 21 years.
The couple, who introduced viewers to a new style of cosy on-the-sofa interviewing, first appeared on screen together as the hosts of ITV’s This Morning in 1988.
At the height of their success, after moving to Channel 4 [...]
Top 50 Bestselling Books in the UK this week
This is the current top 50 bestselling books in the UK.
The key below will explain what everything means. I was going to remove that detail but actually it’s quite interesting to see what position the books were in last week (if any) so I left it in. For example the book that is at #20 [...]

Richard and Judy Book Club 2009 list of books
Ok so here are the books featured in the Richard and Judy Book Club 2009. Most of them are not available as yet in paperback, some are, and most are definitely available in hardcover, but basically they will all be available in paperback shortly since that’s what the book club features. Off the [...]
Richard and Judy unveil Book Club reads of 2009
Richard and Judy have unveiled their Book Club reads of 2009, all but guaranteeing commercial success for 10 authors – including the wife of shadow chancellor George Osborne. (hmmm more wives of famous people chosen again)
A list of the books follows as well as the announcement from The Telegraph [...]
December Book Addicts
I’m a little late with this and for that I apologise. The usual Christmas mayhem is to blame plus some health issues and other stuff and as usual I am stretched way too thin.
This month we are reading the following books in the Book Group, complete with lovely and informative Hosts, so come along and [...]
Book Group latest
Book Addicts Main
Just a quick reminder that this month we are reading and talking about The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger and The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides. Both fantastic books and both discussions have just started so there’s plenty of time to join in.
In December we can look forward to 1984 by George [...]

Ebook Reader News
- Is Amazon hiring devs to build a robust web browser for Kindle? March 9, 2010Are you a software dev with a Bachelors Degree in Computer Science, familiarity with current Web standards, and experience with browser engines, Linux on embedded devices, and Java? If so, do we have the job for you. Lab126, the group at Amazon responsible for the Kindle, wants you to help "conceive, design, and bring to market" a new embedded brow […]
- Samsung E6 e-reader coming to Barnes and Noble this spring for $299 March 9, 2010Samsung still hasn't committed to a formal launch date for the e-reader line it launched at CES, but the company narrowed down the launch date from "early 2010" to "this spring" this morning -- which makes sense, seeing as spring has nearly, uh, sprung. We're only hearing about the six-inch E6 at the moment, along with a new Bar […]
- Spring Design's Alex e-reader hits the FCC March 5, 2010Spring Design's Alex e-reader has certainly had one of the more interesting product launches in recent years and, with an actual release now seemingly imminent, it's finally turned up in the FCC's hands. There's not many surprises left at this point, but the agency has at least treated us to a peek inside the device, and offered us our fi […]
- Sony Reader Daily Edition reviewed: unworthy of cost premium or love March 3, 2010For all the fuss made at its launch back in August, Sony's Reader Daily Edition has all but dropped off the map in terms of interest. Remember, Sony's response to the Kindle gave us a 7-inch touchscreen device with free AT&T 3G data for a street price of $399. Now we've got a proper in-depth review of the thing. On the plus side, the inter […]
- ASUS DR-900 e-reader hands-on March 2, 2010After weeks of hearing about the DR-900 (or DR-950) e-reader, you had to know that we'd sprint (okay, walk at a brisk pace) over to ASUS' booth to finally handle the touchscreen device in person. The 9-inch ebook reader was quite light in hand, and though we didn't have Amazon's Kindle DX with us, it appeared very comparable in size. As f […]
- Qisda QD060B00 e-reader hits the FCC February 26, 2010We've already seen MIDs, high-res phones, and a few other odd devices from Qisda since it spun off from / encompassed BenQ, and it looks like it's now trying its hand at another e-reader as well. Still no official word about this one, but the device does look like it'll hold its own with a 6-inch capacitive touchscreen (16 levels of gray), alo […]
- Nintendo to release 100 Classic Book Collection for DS on June 14 February 25, 2010The Nintendo DS's dual-screen design has always invited book comparisons, and the new DSi XL even more so with those two 4.2-inch displays, so now's as good a time as any for Nintendo to announce that its 100 Classic Book Collection will be coming to American shores on June 14 for $20. Joystiq says they're expecting the book list to be the sam […]
- Barnes and Noble CEO describes Nook as 'single best-selling product,' critical to success February 24, 2010In a conference call with investors yesterday, Steve Riggio described the Nook as a great success and the company's best selling product. The former is predictable, but the latter is kinda weird. You typically wait to have more than one own-brand product in order to describe anything as "best-selling," but we'll give him the benefit of th […]
- Spring Design's Alex pushed to first week of March February 24, 2010February 22nd came and went with nary a word from Spring Design about its Alex availability. Now, after a bit of prodding, we're being told to check back during the first week of March; that's when you'll be able to order your dual-screen, 3.5-inch Android and 6-inch EPD e-Reader. So, $359 for Alex or $499 for the iPad launching just a few wee […]
- Acer tables e-reader plans, says market is 'not that big' February 23, 2010What's this we hear? Is it the distant thunder of sanity emanating from Acer's Taiwanese headquarters? The Taipei Times is reporting this morning Acer chairman Wang Jeng-tang's announcement that his company will not be releasing an ebook reader "for now." It was only a month ago that Jeng-tang and his crew were telling the world abou […]
