The Mirror and the Light by Hilary Mantel.
I’ve read several books by Lisa Jewell. Then She Was Gone, Watching You, and others. She never disappoints.
I’ve just finished Clancy/Gearney’s “Full Force & Effect”. I know it’s an old one but I felt I needed some lightweight holiday-type boys’ own adventure reading.
A Brush with Death by Quintin Jardine
Bob Skinner, ex cop, now MI5, book 29 in the series …
This is my first, and it’s good, will check out some more in the series.
Dalton Trumbo’s “Johnny Got His Gun”.
Not a particularly uplifting read to say the very least!
I saw the film on the box years ago, both compelling and disturbing.
Read a few of his. A good read.
The Oz Blackstone ones are a bit different.
Currently reading James Herbert, The Secret of Crickley Hall.
So far rather formulaic, not that interesting but I will persevere.
" English Gothic " by Johnathon Rigby.
A fascinating volume about the history of Brit horror films.
It’s a book that’s a pleasure to “dip into”.
Currently I’m working through two:
Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000 by L.Ron Hubbard in written form and Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand via audiobook. Both of them are re-reads…this has to be at least the 4th time for BE and only the second for AS.
If you enjoy Philosophy, Politics and Dystopian Sci-Fi, you should give Atlas Shrugged a go.
If you just like good ol’ Science Fiction, you should definitely give Battlefield Earth a go…and if you’ve seen the movie, don’t be influenced by it…it has nothing to do with the book.
Jilly Cooper’s The Common Years, probably for the 30th time. I love that book.
Another Terry Pratchett book “The Truth”
I love Terry Pratchett, think I have every book he wrote including Where’s My Cow. I have read them all many times, also got the DVD films made from his books.
My favourites are the Tiffany books, hence my forum name.
I too have read all the Terry Pratchett books, I also have most of them as audio books to listen to in the car on my longer drives.
Great books, can’t stop laughing as I read.
He is so quotable too:
“It is well known that a vital ingredient of success is not knowing that what you’re attempting can’t be done. A person ignorant of the possibility of failure can be a half-brick in the path of the bicycle of history.”
Wow! You have every book he wrote
I like Tiffany character have read “The Wee Free Men” book a few months ago.
I also liked Equal Rites, that was the first Terry Pratchett I read. It made me laugh & so I read more, starting from the begining with The Colour Of Magic.
Some of my book copies are signed by Terry.
Great quote
I am now re-reading Anne McCaffrey’s book Freedom’s Landing.
Terry Pratchett published a lot of books
How many his books have you got ? I haven’t got many yet
Too many, Alice. 44 plus.
I am not sure how many I have but I have a few first editions
Those are just the hard backs in the lounge I have a few more in paperback
