My UK readers are probably well aquainted with Richard and Judy – but for those of you from across the pond they’re husband and wife tv presenters who have a book group as part of their weekly magazine show.
They release a new book list every six months – and feature a book each week on their show – usually with feedback from a celebrity or two and a book group.
I’ve discovered some fantastic books and authors through this ‘club’ so the list is always worth checking out. Here are Richard and Judy’s recommendation for Summer 2008 reads:
- The Outcast by Sadie Jones
- No Time for Goodbye by Linwood Barclay
- East of the Sun by Julia Gregson
- Down River by John Hart
- The Pirate’s Daughter by Margaret Cezair-thompson
- The Private Lives of Pippa Lee by Rebecca Miller
- Addition by Toni Jordan
- The Ressurectionist by James Bradley
If you’ve already read any of these books before to post in the comments and help me narrow down the list of those I should read!

- No time for goodbye by Linwood Barclay | Blue Archipelago - [...] Time for Goodbye is one of the Richard & Judy summer reads and was recommended by Kerrie and Darlene. ...
I want to say that my coworker read The Pirate’s Daughter and enjoyed it despite a slow beginning. I love summer reading lists–and this one looks like a good one!

I read No Time for Goodbye and it was awesome. Unfortunately I read it before I had my blog so no review but it’s a great thriller that keeps you guessing till the end.
Darlenes last blog post..The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory
NO TIME FOR GOODBYE is the only one on the list that I’ve read, but I certainly recommend it.
