Reading Group Book of the Month

Sepulchre by Kate Mosse

Sepulchre “I’m delighted Sepulchre is in the Reading Room for May, not least because it’s one of my favourite parts of the Orion website, the perfect place to find out about old favourites and new discoveries. As for Sepulchre, it is partly an old-fashioned ghost story, partly a 19th century tale of revenge and the occult, partly the adventures of a young and impressionable girl who disappears one Halloween more than a hundred years ago. Try the Reading Room Discussion Points, listen to the audio (CD, MP3 or download), then please get in touch to tell me what you think! After all, without readers, none of us would be in business!”

Whether that entails getting up an hour earlier, going to bed an hour later or forgoing a couple of nights TV, set yourself a goal each week and stick to it. Whether its ten pages a week or 200 words a day, stick to it.
