Re: What book are you reading now?

Just finished Ike Hamill book extinction, I won't recommend it unless you want an example of bad sci fi. post apocolyptic writers usually chose one event, a disease, a natural disaster, alien invasion, man eating plants or similar, this author is obviously a fan because I don't think he left any possible apocolyptic event out of the book, man eating plants, disease, man melting water, severe snow, alien invasion, bad humans and zombies and possibly a religious event. All in a few hundred pages ! Instead of enjoying it as what it was intended it made me laugh that he had managed to get it all in !

Re: What book are you reading now?

Sounds like my kind of book . I'll read anything.
Julie , If I've got the right one it's free on a kindle edition right now on Amazon.

I'm currently wading through free fan fiction of old TV series.
Hours of endless fun though I've learnt to avoid slash .... only came in what that was when Blake and Avon got their kit off in a Blake's 7 book and got down to it.

Just started to read SIRENS by Joseph Knox. I love a good thriller. This one, according to my SIL, has it all.

Re: What book are you reading now?

If you liked The Girl On The Train you’ll probably like The Widow . I like how the author has created her particular type of woman,rather a droll soul but not so slow on observing others and very well able to tell a tale to us.
The subject matter isn’t pleasant, wife discovers what husband gets up to during the course of him being arrested and tried for a crime .
I havn’t finished it yet but there’s bound to be a twist .

Re: What book are you reading now?

I am reading The Midnight Line by Lee Childs, one of my Christmas books. I do like the Jack Reacher stories, but cant stand the films where Reacher is played by Tom Cruise, he is totally wrong for the part.

Jack Hunts 3rd in the phobia series, strain. I'm quite enjoying it a killer flu virus, a hero who is germ phobic, a world falling apart around him. An interesting twist on the post apocolyptic genre.

Re: What book are you reading now?

I'm currently reading The girl on the velvet swing by Simon Baatz. I had previously read his book on the Leopold and Loeb case and this one doesn't disappoint.

Fascinating glimpse into high society at the turn of the twentieth century.

Currently reading Around the World in 80 days all part of my attempt to read the classics. Enjoying it so far and it is actually quite easy to read.

Re: What book are you reading now?

I also am reading a lot of the old books lately, want to do it before they become unavailable to borrow from the library.

Just finished up DuMaurier's "Frenchman's Creek" and "Rebecca" both kept me content for hours.

Rebecca is one of my favourite books ever, loved the old film too, Not so keen on the later versions.
