Nothing highbrow here. I’m reading “Killing floor” the first of Lee Childs Jack Reacher series. It’s not as good as a Karin Slaughter and leaves you with some questions about the holes in the plot, but it’s still satisfying and very readable with some bits where you forget where you are.
I do have Karin Slaughter’s latest " the Kept woman" but I haven’t read past the first few pages as it’s smaller than most paperbacks and the font is tiny which is really annoying. I have some reading glasses I don’t use as I can read normal text without them so I don’t want to get my eyes used to the magnification before time. I do love her books though, they always leave you wanting more.
High brow ? I don’t do high brow just started another post apocolyptic series 12 books on this series so should keep me busy for a while, free too so I’m happy.
I know that, as I also get daily email from Amazon free daily books. I was just wondering if it was someplace different.
Oh and by the way. Some of the listed ‘FREE’ books are not free. Found this out the other day.
I’ve just finished “Precious and Grace” by Alexander McCall Smith, the latest No1 Ladies Detective Agency novel. I waited ages for the library to get it, it wasn’t disappointing!
I don’t suppose you would if you had not clicked on this book. I can’t remember the title or author, but trust me it was not free I think is was priced a about £3 something.
Just finished another freebie - Sea Sick by Iain Rob Wright. I don’t normally like zombie novels because it’s all been done before but this was quite good. Sort of zombie meets Groundhog Day.
Well I mentioned that my vice is reading crime thrillers to a friend who is a book snob and heard her snort with derision before regaining her composure.
What’s the post-apocalyptic series? Sounds interesting. I love dystopian futuristic sci-fi like the Wool series or divergent. Always on the look out for more.
I’m attempting to get a solid background with regard to social changes during the 20th century to now. Really I’m starting to delve deeply into the role Jews have played in all this as they have been at the forefront of many of the great intellectual movements of our time (are they still?). Lot of ‘stuff’ to work through - including their beliefs. Objectivity is the name of the game here obviously.
So much info on the internet though - videos and free books etc should you care to look hard enough.
The sixth extinction by glen Johnson it’s interesting because it’s set in uk not so many set here it’s usually USA.
One I’ve read recently I loved was the dog by Amy cross it’s written from the perspective of a family pet. What the poor thing goes through with a sadly happy end.
Just finished reading Almonds and Raisins by Maisie Mosco. It’s about Jewish immigrants arriving from Russia to Strangeways, Manchester in 1905 and how their lives progress from that time. There are other books in this series which I will now be on the lookout for. A fascinating story.
I’ve now come to the conclusion the world is just one cauldron of corruption where power resides in those with money. Part of this conclusion is that as I can’t beat them I may as well try and join them using their own cunning to make some dosh. So from now on I will be reading how to make such dosh from the stock market and so on. Books such as this online freebie:
If you buy gold and silver from the usual dealers, then you are paying premium prices. Same when you sell, you sell at the dealers price offered.
There would have to be a big increase in the value to make a profit.
