Books We ♡
At Goring Library, we love to share books. Here are some of our readers thoughts about the titles we have on offer. Below this is also a list of just some of the new books our library manager has acquired for library users ...
A Killing in November
by Simon Mason
The story is set within an Oxford College. DI Ryan Wilkins and DI Ray Wilkins are a sort of new take on Morse and Lewis, but with the non-Oxford grad (Ryan) as the brains of the outfit. Ryan is a great character who says what we would all like to say in certain situations. By far the most appealing aspect of the book is the developing relationship between Ryan and Raymond, and together they make a good team. Mason explores the two sides of Oxford: privileged and elitist vs deprived and marginalised. All in all a refreshing take on the police procedural crime novel. Simon recently joined the Friends for an evening in the Five Little Pigs in Wallingford to discuss his latest novel.
New Books
Look out for the new books that Kate has been able to buy with funds raised by Friends of Goring Library.
​
For instance, she has bought dozens of new children's books; new releases; older classics you've always been meaning to read and reference books like cookery, art and travel, to mention but a small selection.
