What Are You Reading 2023

One from my current collection of reading matter is this one....odd but nevertheless I 'm finding it curiously interesting.

 

And this one..

 

....and finally some fiction, written by the creator of Shetland and Vera. This has also now been adapted as a tv series.

 

I have only read the first "Vera" novel. She has only a small part in it. As if Ann wrote the book and then thought, this character has a future.
I am currently reading "The Crossing" (Detective Louise Blackwell Book 1) by Matt Brolly. My wife has been reading the series so I thought I would give one a try. In my experience, it is not often a male author writes a female lead in a novel.

 

Ken Follett - Une Colonne de Feu. Again I inherited a bookcase-full of books from a dear friend last year but 90% of them turned out to be whodunnits You could count the number of genuinely humourous French writers on the foot of a three-toed sloth (if he let you)

 

I've just started reading a 14th century whodunnit. Season of Blood by Jeri Westerson. Part of a large series, but each book is a one off story and has the same lead character - Crispin Guest.

 

That sounds good, Sheal. Perhaps not so much French navel-gazing

 

glad I noted this thread, will get back to it when I need a book. Usually when I travel I find one to pass the time waiting for a plane, or at the beach etc. hard for me to sit about reading at home, too much to do.

 

We're all busy @redstar ......just a case of brilliant time management..

 

I wish I could read books but I find I can read page after page and still it doesn't stick, my mind just wont concentrate and take it in.
Its been a long time since I've read a book and then it was always factual stuff, I can never visualise what is going on in novels.

 

Get a copy of Wyrd Sisters or Guards!Guards! or Pyramids by the late, great Terry Pratchett and then come back and tell us that you can't visualise what's going on
