Finished Dave Gorman v The Rest Of The World. The comedian challenges the public to play games with him. From board games to pub games, card games etc Gorman is entertaining about lesserknown traditions meets a host of eccentric people and one almost sinister game player.

Just finished Blood of Dragons, which is 13 books down the line, you have a lot to look forward to

I'd thoroughly recommend it. It also gets a lot of glowing reviews on amazon and they're completely deserved IMO.

I'll be interested to read what you make of it.

The Enemy by Desmond Bagley.I read all the
Bagley books years back when they were first
published and often go back to re-read one.
This one is a particularly 'dark' one from the
author!

When I get to it, I'll feedback

I finished A Perfectly Good Man this morning and I really liked it, would recommend if you like reasonably gentle tales.

I'm now reading How the Trouble Started by Robert Williams, an altogether darker affair I think.

I've finished 600 Hours of Edward by Craig Lancaster, The Magician's Nephew by C. S. Lewis and The Help by Kathryn Stockett. All three very good.

I'm still reading The Road to Bosworth Field by Trevor Royle and need to get on with it as it's due back at the library.

My two new books both have a Cornish theme.

A Perfectly Good Man by Patrick Gale on the Kindle as mentioned previously on this thread.

The King's General by Daphne du Maurier. An audiobook narrated by Juliet Stevenson. "As the horrors of the English civil war blight her future, divide her family, and destroy her peace, Honor Harris shares Sir Richard Grenville's final tragedy."

Just started Full Dark House by Christopher Fowler. Not read enough to form an opinion yet but the premise sounds good, 2 London detectives in their 80's working for the 'Peculiar Crimes Unit', the story is split between present day and back to 1940 (I think) when the 2 detectives had their first case together, during the London Blitz. Hopefully it will live up to it's description.

I agree that it's a very good book and well worth a read. I don't think that it would feature on my "Amazing" list though.

Just started reading Katherine by Anya Seton, another historical read, looks good. It was written in the 1950's but the writing doesn't suffer for all that.

I've almost finished 'The Bunker Diary' by Kevin Brooks

It is an extraordinary book and an insult to call it YA fiction, it limits those willing to pick it up. This book is so absorbing and real.

Some have said it has echoes of Room by Emma Donoghue but I had much more of a feeling of The Collector by John Fowles.

I love it when I stumble across a book that makes me tingle with anticipation when turning the page.

Read this book!

Now off to find other works by this author.
