I loved the Clifton Chronicles!
Heads You Win is pretty good too!
I’m reading Whistle In The Dark by Emma Healey.
Thriller about a teenage girl who goes missing for four days and can’t remember… excellently told, the sheer frustration of the mother comes over really well…
Currently reading Lennon the biography by Tim Riley and enjoying it although I can only concentrate in half hour chunks.
Mercury and Me, Freddie’s partner of the last 6 years of Freddie’s life wrote the book, it’s both heartbreaking and heartwarming, Freddie was such a kind hearted, funny, thoughtful and caring man. They are both dead now and I hope they reunited in death. I m such a romantic
I’m in the last few chapters of Person Of Interest by Theresa Schwegel.
Fiction cop tale that reads like it happened yesterday…wonderful read.
Just finished the Avalon Trilogy by Steve McHugh and downloaded Some Enchanted Evening by Anton du Beke
Just finished The Man With No Face by Peter May.
Hadn’t read this author before.
Excellent yarn, much better than I expected it to be, and really quite moving, a thriller with a difference!! 
Hi
Terry Pratchett, my favourite.
Now back to the boring bits.
An assessment of the ability of Radicals to replicate online instructions for the construction of Chemical Weapons.
I am the most boring man on Earth.
Ha! But you’d be bloody brilliant in the Zombie Apocalypse Swim !!
I am currently reading “Mutiny on the Bounty” by Peter Fitzsimons. Peter is an Australian author, journalist and social commentator. He is also an ex Wallaby. Some may remember him by the distinctive red bandana he always wears. This is a superbly researched account of the “war” between Fletcher Christian and William Bligh and the whole process of this remarkable event in British naval history. Highly recommended for anybody who appreciates a true ripping yarn.
I’ve got Ned Kelly and Batavia by him.Both highly recommended too.I’ll be getting the Mutiny on the Bounty for my birthday.
The story of the Batavia would make a scary horror film.
The story of the Batavia would make a scary horror film.
Too right mate!
I’ve just bought a copy of Circe, which I shall read when I’m in Menorca week after next!!
I am well into the second volume of the Dance To The Music Of Time sequence by Anthony Powell. Considering it has virtually no plot and is a tad repetitive, it is remarkably readable.
For the past few years I’ve been doing something that I’m calling, for want of a better description, ‘looking at England’ ( with brief forays into Scotland and Wales).
This means old houses, castles, museums, landscape, and so on; and not just the pretty bits
At the moment I’m reading a book which is more or less self - explanatory
The Village News’ by Tom Fort
Described as ‘A whimsical, funny, and revealing inquiry into the real story of the English village that we love and cherish’.
I’s interesting, but easier to read in sections, not all in one go
I’m reading The Clockmakers Daughter by Kate Morton…it’s a tale about a murder that happened in 1862 and the house it happened in…we are introduced to all the occupants of the house through time and how they are connected to the murder …it’s a good yarn but I found it a bit slow…I must be in the minority though because it’s a best seller.
Just read Loving Frank by Nancy Horan.
It’s based on the true life story of Frank Lloyd Wright the architect and his lover Martha who scandalised American society at the time .
I’m currently reading Arnhem by Antony Beevor
" No Known Grave" by Maureen Jennings. Set in 1942 in a convalenscent hospital for seriously injured servicemen and those in bombing raids. A murder mystery, good so far, a bit Foyle’s War - ish.
Tried reading “If on a Winter’s Night a Traveller” by Italo Calvino, very odd and boring.
I read two or three books every two weeks from the Library. I’ve found a lot of crime thrillers go on and on then rushed at the end as if the writer got fed up and just put any old ending. Either that or the editor cut bits out.
Some even have mispelled words or wrong named etc. Proof reading errors! :shock:
I’ve just finished Watching You by Lisa Jewell. It’s a mystery thriller disguised as a community of misfits in a neighborhood where nothing is as it seems. Nicely written, twists and turns you never see coming, and the end is astonishing! Well worth the read, I couldn’t put it down!
I am reading a second book by Fern Britain, if you like chic-lit, she’s very good.
