I’ve just finished reading ‘I invited her in’ by Adele Parks. I enjoyed it very much.
It’s about two friends who haven’t seen each other since Uni. One turns up on the others doorstep seeking shelter. She’s invited to stay and then sets about destroying her friends life…
I’m going to Google more books by this author. I like her.
Murder on a Winter Afternoon
by Betty Rowlands (author)
Quite enjoying this middle aged lady crime writer finding herself in the middle of a real murder. One of many in the series not the first I’ve read.
I just finished “The Next Person You Meet In Heaven”, another of Mitch Albom’s books.
I enjoyed the first, and this one continues to tie in the theme. Love it, and a very easy read.
i’m reading a book called ‘wheredidthetowersgo’ by dr judy wood…uncovers the truth about 911…fascinating read
I finished Gigi McCaffrey’s book about Pern, Dragon’s Code, it’s the planet her Mother Anne McCaffrey wrote about. Gigi has captured it well. I do like fantasy fiction. Hopefully she’ll write another too.
I read all Anne McCaffrey’s dragon books,Tiff, when I was young. I think they would have made good films.
I will look out for Gigi’s now.
I’ve just finished, “From the Heart” by Susan Hill, very disappointing. It contained very emotive issues yet no emotion. Probably the most bland book I’ve ever read.
Just finished She Was The Quiet One by Michele Campbell.
Dreadful. Absolute rubbish.
Has to be a contender for the Worst Book Of The Year!!!
It was published in 2018, I got my copy from Amazon. A Christmas present to myself.
There was talk about making a film of Dragonflight, but it never happened. There was a documentary of Anne’s life on TV many years ago & in that they showed some clips from the film, it was a animated film, but nothing more happened.
It would be brilliant if someone made a film, specially with all the special effects in animation there are now or even a mix of live & animation, as in Avatar.
Hi
Just starting a new book.
How to find a Forum without Conspiracy Theories.
I’ve started back on my Rebus Books. At the moment it’s one called “Let it Bleed”
Roxy- good choice. I’ve loved Rankin/Rebus from day one. However, I think it’s time to retire John for good. Perhaps concentrate on Siobahn Clarke. It pains me to say it, but his last 2 Rebus’ have been weak. I’m currently reading Swedish Ake Edwardson- Inspector Winter.
I just finished Waiting For Eden by Elliot Ackerman.
A piercingly insightful read, grabs you from page 1 and won’t put it down until you are finished. Makes you look at life from a different perspective, in all it’s grief and pain.
I am re-reading Jilly Coopers The Common Years. I love this book & can imagine myself walking the commons, Putney & Barnes,with her all those years ago.
The latest ones were mostly about DI Clark and Rebus being taken on as an advisor, they were hysterical at times I thought. As for his best pals act with Big Ger Cafferty, we’ll now, that’s a whole different story.
Suicide of the West: How the Rebirth of Tribalism, Populism, Nationalism, and Identity Politics is Destroying American Democracy
by Jonah Goldberg (Author)
Just a few reviews:
“An absolutely magnificent book! Jonah Goldberg is brilliant – both in his intellect and in his writing. Amusing, terrifying, informative and thought-provoking, Suicide of the West is an intellectual oasis of hope in a desert of self-destructive ignorance.”
—Brad Thor, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Spymaster
“Jonah Goldberg’s Suicide of the West is a tour de force. As ever, Goldberg wears his extraordinary erudition lightly as he demonstrates how the ideas that have animated free societies for the past 250 years are the greatest creations of humankind—and how we are imperiling our posterity by the way we mishandle, ignore, and belittle them. This is a very important book.”
—John Podhoretz, Editor, Commentary Magazine
“When future archeologists are digging through our ruins and asking, as they will ask, ‘What the hell were they thinking?’ I hope they come upon a copy of Suicide of the West, and that it is only slightly charred from the bonfire into which the mad idiot ideologues of our time are sure to cast it.”
—Kevin Williamson, National Review correspondent
Should I get myself a Kindle Reader? I am an ardent bookworm and read every day. I like books with stories of county life in Victorian and Edwardian times, fact and fiction. I buy books from Amazon and Ebay. The last book I bought (Two Farms by Mary Pearce) cost 90p but the postage and packing was £!.90. which has made me think. Am I wasting my money paying for these books? Should I invest in a Kindle Reader?
Re-reading The Skies Of Pern by Anne McCaffrey.
Blue Gold by Clive Cussler, only just started reading so can’t give an opinion
