  • Just started the Shock of the Fall - a bit dark, I should really make a start on the actual books as there are two bookcases full of them, but this kindle book was calling to me and somebody else had read it and so I said I would too so we could have a chat about it :-)
    Just keep swimming!

    Hey everyone,
    I'm still plugging away with Tom Brown's Schooldays. This one is going to be a long haul kind of book.

    I finished the Kathy Reichs (an enjoyable light read) and am now onto a Rebus (loaned to me - hoping to return it next weekend to continue the decluttering mission!).

    I finished Simon Ings's Wolves. Beautiful and bleak to the end.

    Now reading Frances Hardinge's Cuckoo Song.
    Keep reading books!

    I'm sorry but this made me :rotfl: - if only you had kondo'ed maybe you wouldn't have lost it?!


    I'm tempted to get it but am quietly kondo'ing away in my own way and really don't want to add to my book collection!

  • I find the bat a little slow if im honest. From going from Stuart MacBride to Jo Nesbo, its a little dull if you ask me. Maybe I've started too high at the top and its all going to go downhill from here :rotfl:

    I have all the Jo Nesbo books other than the newest one "Police". I will pick it up off eBay nearer the time for only a few ££. Im popping along to charity shop later today and handing them 6 books. They were my first crime fiction books which I rather enjoyed, but I just have no space for them anymore. It was the Kenzie and Gennaro books by Dennis Lehane. So hopefully they find a good home.

    Well I finally finished "The Bat" last nights and i'm so glad its finished. I did not enjoy reading it one bit. Very slow, very strange plot to understand and just not an enjoyable read.

    Onto the much anticipated "The Missing and the Dead" By Stuart MacBride. My favorite author so this should be fantastic :D

    Not too sure what to do after this book though as i'm a bit skeptical to go back to Jo Nesbo. I did get a nice email the other day that Luke Delaney has another book out, EXCITING as his books are amazing. DI Sean Corrigan is a fantastic character to follow.
