Just started 'Dreadfulwater' (yes that's how it's written) by Thomas King.
Apparently it's book one in in an 8 (or 9 ) book series, I may have to go searching ;)

Finally got round to starting Neal Asher - Dark Diamond (cheers Hugh)

On the agenda after that is probably a revisit to 'The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant', mentioned by someone on here a while ago. Read them years ago and recently found them (cough) online as epubs.

I have a quick glance at it, but there's rarely now anything of interest to me . . . and most of it is repeats or 'rewrites' of a story

Feel I'm struggling with The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, I was looking forward to a re-reading but don't think my head is in the right frame of mind for a long saga. I may just take it in stages between other books . . .

. . which leads me into the current book, Joe Abercrombie - The Blade Itself (1st book of the 'First Law' trilogy)

Just burnt through the "The Lost Fleet" series (6 books) by Jack Campbell - easy reading…

Service Model by Adrian Tchaikovsky - had to push myself through the first couple of chapters, then got into it, and enjoyed it by the end.

Now reading The Mortons by Justine Larbalestier & Scott Westerfeld - really liking it.

yeah, Service Model was a slow starter but good finisher

If like me and you have loads of books (1182 in the app, another 80+ no ISBN, and another 25 of my late mum's to add) download the app free called My Library (I have an Android)


It allow you to add a Genre etc.


You can add manually if there is no ISBN.

One Bullet Away - Nathaniel Fick

I’ve been rewatching "Generation Kill", and I’ve already read the book it was based on (by Evan Wright), and I found out the Bravo Platoon Leader had also written a book (which had been well-reviewed), so I thought I would give it a try…

Enjoying it so far - the time in Iraq is only part of the book, which starts off with him attending Officer Candidates School, then Officer Training, and his tours in Afghanistan and Iraq.
