Red Rising - Pierce Brown. I received this advance review copy from a Goodreads giveaway and only started tit this evening and up to now its wonderful. The main character is one you really root for without being a Mary Sue (or whatever the male equivalent is).
It feels weird reading an actual book, I'm that used to my ereader. |

Tom's Midnight Garden - Philippa Pearce
YA Classic. Captivating, engaging and magical and a lump in my throat, at the ending. |

I've just finished reading Dead Simple by Peter James, which is set in Brighton and the surrounding area. I've now started a new audio book and within the first couple of chapters have been taken back to C I D HQ in Brighton - a spooky coincidence! The audiobook in question is Broken Homes by Ben Aaronovitch, read by Kobna Holdbrook-Smith. It's the latest in the Rivers Of London series and starts off with a fatal accident on a roundabout at Pease Pottage near Crawley. I drive round that roundabout occasionally and shall take extra care next time!
I'm about to start The Breath of Night by Michael Arditti on my Kindle. Philip Seward is sent to the Philippines by the family of a Catholic priest. Seward is charged with investigating both the priest's mysterious death some thirty years previously and also the cult that has grown up around him in the ensuing years, which has led to calls for him to be made a saint. Reviewers have compared this to books by Graham Greene and Evelyn Waugh. They're two of my favourite authors so I'm hoping for great things here. |

Making another attempt to finish Stephen King's The Stand.
I have the, seemingly completely unedited version, which I put aside after about 300 pages because it was so slow paced. Gone back to it now and things seem to be finally moving a bit - I'll try and persevere with it this time. |

Have just finished Port Mortuary by Patricia Cornwell. This was the first book of hers that I've read and I'll try another couple just to see if that annoying Scarpetta woman grows on me!
Now reading The Concrete Blonde by Michael Connelly. Really enjoying it so far. |

I'm halfway through Orphan Train at the moment, nothing mind blowingly original, but enjoyable enough.

I have just started the second reading of this. I read it years ago so it is all quite fresh. It is worth sticking to because it totally draws the reader in.
I'm not surprised that the original version was somewhat edited though - but then I can be a bit of an impatient reader sometimes, in fairness ![]()

I've made a start on two new books.
My new audiobook is The Ocean At The End Of The Lane, written and read by Neil Gaiman. It's shaping up very well so far, a pity that it's such a short book. My Kindle book is Dead Simple by Peter James, the first Roy Grace book. Very promising, hopefully it will be a good new series to get into. ![]() Have just finished Jean Plaidy's two Queen of Scots books. Excellent...but infuriating and tragic. About to finish 'Takedown' by Brad Thor. Well written political Al Qaeda action type book. Next on the list is Dominion by C.J. Sansom
