I haven’t stopped reading.
Honest 🙂
However, life has surged on since April and despite not having had too much work on and having had a long holiday in France – I haven’t been back here to update my reading. Hey ho!
I can’t guarantee remembering all of the books I’ve read but some are easy: e.g.
I’ve read all of the Reacher books before, but have decided to work my way through them all again one day. That day began last month. I read KILLING FLOOR first and had just finished DIE TRYING the week before setting off for Spain. From
Since writing my previous post I’ve read a further seven, in order, and have number 13, Nothing To Lose, waiting for me to read when I next feel like a Jack Reacher fix. Jack is still bumming around the USA righting wrongs and bedding a variety of women. I’m still not clear where his money comes from, although I believe he does get some kind of army pension. Yet still, after only 13 years service that can’t be much.
I’ve also started reading the A Song of Ice and Fire series of books by George R.R. Martin. Info.
Having heard lots of good things about the T.V. series ‘A Game of Thrones‘ we finally got around to watching the DVDs after our return from Spain. (If you don’t like bloody battles, full frontal male/female nudity, incest, homo/heterosexuality, intrigue or mystery [etc.] – don’t watch it). I thought the storyline was fascinating and decided that I needed to read the book. As I finished the book, I knew there had to be another – surely there had to be another!
At that time I didn’t know there were five in the series (there are seven planned) but I do now and am currently reading book three: ‘A Storm of Swords‘. I read ‘A Clash of Kings‘ whilst in France. The genealogies and geographies that Martin puts into the stories are mind boggling and each chapter (the story unfolds chapter by chapter, each of which is based around a geographically different, named character) delivers ever richer histories, tales and adventures (usually bloody).
I also read another two of Karen’s historical romances:
- The Kingmaker’s Daughter by Philippa Gregory
- Sovereign by C.J. Sansom (and at some point, I also read Dominion by him, but cannot remember when ;-(
The Jo Nesbo book I mentioned previously took some reading (I can’t remember which it was), but I have another ready to read sometime – this time, it’s his first Harry Hole novel, not previously translated.
