What are you currently reading?
Alex Scarrow – Day of the Predator (TimeRiders 2)
I read the first book in this series back in June and so far this one is just as good.
Simon Scarrow – Young Bloods (Revolution 1)
I’ve read all the Romans series to date and thought it was about time I gave the Revolutions quadrilogy a try, since I’ve had the first three books on my shelf waiting to be read since they were first published!
What did you recently finish reading?
Douglas Jackson – Caligula
Transworld Book Group – see full review HERE.
Nicholas Sparks – The Notebook
This is not the kind of book I normally read. Although it’s written by a man, it’s a bit “chick-lit” and romantic for my usual tastes, but this is utterly compelling. As the story slowly unfolds, I’m finding myself falling in love with Noah and Allie, and I desperately wanted things to work out for them. It’s not often that a book makes me cry, but this one had me in tears, both of sadness and of joy. It’s a wonderful book and I recommend it even if it’s out of your comfort zone.
What do you think you’ll read next?
- Black Swan Rising by Lee Carroll
- Crippen by John Boyne
- The Colour of Death by Michael Cordy
All three of these are my remaining choices from the Transworld Book Group, so whichever one arrives first will be the next I read.
Abandoned this week
Kevin Crossley-Holland – The Seeing Stone (Arthur Trilogy 1)
It’s 338 pages long, but has 100 chapters. By page 50, I had read 17 chapters and that was more than enough to know this wasn’t for me. To be honest, starting a new chapter every other page disrupted the flow – not that there was much flow anyway, as everything seemed to chop and change each time a new chapter began. As some chapters were literally less than a single page in length, I very quickly grew weary of it and dumped it. I won’t be returning to it or the rest of the series, despite being a huge fan of the Arthurian legends. A shame, because I was looking forward to it.
