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 [...]

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 & 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, 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.

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 [...]

Off the [...]

Ok, this is not a site about TV shows, nor is it a site about Richard and Judy, but I do have an interest in the show where it concerns books and the book club, so I have been monitoring the ratings.
Here’s the latest:
Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan’s new chatshow on digital channel Watch has [...]

Mudbound is about people, relationships, and racism set in a 1940s Mississippi backdrop. If you have read any American history or any fiction based in the South during this time period, then some of the issues in this book will be quite familiar to you. I appreciate that not everyone will be aware of [...]

As reported in the Telegraph yesterday, the ratings for the debut show of the new program, Richard and Judy’s New Position, was only 100,000 viewers.  This is indeed a far cry from the 1.5 million viewers who tuned into Channel 4 to watch their farewell show in August.
Their latest chat show, Richard and Judy’s New [...]

So Richard and Judy’s New Position is now well and truly launched, with the first book being reviewed last night and no doubt 100s of enthusiastic book lovers rushing to their book club site to talk about it… but uh oh, now, yes right now is the time when they decide to do a little [...]
