I have 2 of her books in my tbr* pile - Doing Time & Hard Time (Time Patrol series - I think it’s a spin-off of the Chronicles series)..

I haven’t read any of her books before, so if I enjoy those two, I’ll move on to the Chronicles of St Mary’s series.

Re: What are you reading?

I have just shy of 800 books in my home, yes I did say 800.

I'm waiting to read all 9 books in The Expanse series, I will start to read them next year when series 6 of the Amazon Prime series finishes.


I might start to read all 6 books in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy.

Re: What are you reading?

2 Chronicles at the moment - reading through The Bible in 90 days, something I do each year from January. (It works out at about 12 pages a day.)

Re: What are you reading?

Just been sent an ARC* (Advance Readers Copy) of "Project Hail Mary" by Andy Weir (who wrote "The Martian").

Also got "Day Zero" by C. Robert Cargill (both were electronic versions).

That’s my next couple of evenings taken care of…

Just reading Smells Like Finn Spirit by Randy Henderson. Sort of Artemis Foul as a Necromancer into retro gaming.

Rereading Terry Pratchett mainly because he helps to make sense of the ridiculous world that I currently reside in.

As a congregation we study the bible and then get together and discuss what we have read and when we get through it we start again we are currently in Numbers. We are also studying a book dedicated to Ezekiel’s prophesies. We spent almost 3 years studying and then discussing as a group a book on Jesus Ministry from his baptism to resurrection and ascension

Re: What are you reading?

How about John Piper's series on Romans that took so long people would talk about when they joined the church in relation to where in Romans the series was?


I am slowly looking at Ephesians using a new study Bible. Daily devotions are working through 1 John.


Outside the best selling book of all time I'm reading Tozer. I really liked "I Talk Back To The Devil".
