Royal Assassin (Farseer #2) - Robin Hobb

The YOPPA

Re-reading "Watchers" by Dean R Koontz

Have close to 40 of his books...always a good read.

Just finished re-reading every single disc world book. Sad to be at the end, but hopeful about the new release that he was working on before he passed away.

Now starting to re-read the Honor Harrington sci-fi series.

Hugo Stiglitz

Just started Sand by Hugh Howey.

I'm re-reading Excession by Iain M Banks. It's even better the second time around.

Mars Bar

The Valley of Fear - Arthur Conan Doyle

About 200 pages into fall of giants by Ken Follett
It's a great read this far

The Woman Who Stole My Life by Marian Keyes.

I'm the biggest fan of Marian and have read all her books, but when I bought this book last October (and met her and had the book signed!), I couldn't get into it.

For once in my Marian-soaked reading life, I just couldn't absorb myself into the story, so I left the book on the bedside locker, vowing to go back to it some other day.

Fast-forward seven months and I'd forgotten everything I'd read so far in the book, so I've restarted it and this time, I'm enjoying it.

"Yes Taoiseach" by Frank Dunlop. A tale of old-school vs. young bucks, power, money and shenanigans at the heart of government, particularly Fianna Fail, from the Arms Crisis to deep doo-doo in the late 2000s. It's quite good, readable and entertaining.

Stephen King's Mr. Mercedes. Thoroughly enjoying it.

GLaDOS

Blazing through 1Q84, just onto the 2nd book. Really enjoying it.

Have been reading a lot lately which is great. Read One Step Too Far by Tina Saskis a few days ago which is a tense thriller. It was easy reading but kept me engrossed so I'd highly recommend it as a good beach read.

Finished Elizabeth is Missing by Emma Healey last night and it blew me away. It's a very clever and beautifully written story, the protagonist having dementia and it's told from her perspective. It's also a crime thriller so lots to keep one interested. Can't recommend it enough!

I haven't read a Murakami book that I haven't loved. Yet!

My favourite at the moment is Norwegian Wood.

Described by that bastion of reason and self regard Return Of Kings as the 'Holy Bible of Red Pill Wisdom'.

Which says it all, really.

Menas

The Secret Scripture by Sebastian Barry.
I am not really sure where this book is going, but it does have me hooked despite not been my type of book.

It'll open your eyes but blinker them at the same time. It's a terrible book.

Most women would say that about it in fairness,villar is still getting death threats to this day,not that I agree with everything in it but she's makes some valid arguments and points,brutally honest and depressing at the same time in parts.

All that book does is confirm the bias of people so inclined, it's very poorly written and has little basis in objective reality. Take it with a pinch, or better yet a quarry, or salt.

I dunno I'd wager alot men would recognize themselves in it depressingly enough,she makes keen observations.

Its my favourite too although considered by die-hard Murakami fans as the least true to form. Yawn! I don't think so, it's different yes but equally as good if not better than lots of his other works.

Yeah I think I'll be checking that out after, have heard it's supposed to be very good.
