I was standing in a check in queue at the airport holding the book and the woman behind me asked how I was getting on with it. I said I was struggling and she laughed and said it was the hardest book to get through and she hasn’t bothered with the follow up.


Persevere with it, it gets better, I read them all Wolf Hall (2009), Bring up the Bodies (2012) and The Mirror and the Light (3 March, 2020) I am now reading the Shannara Series for the second time, brilliant series once you get into it.



I'm impressed Nuggets.......I clearly must try harder! :redface:

Did you watch the series Wolf's Hall? I thought it was brilliant.


No, perhaps I should.

Currently reading A Perfect Spy by John le Carré.

Never delved into spy books before, very interesting so far.

REVELATION OR DEVASTATION?

The certainties of the modern world are about to be blown apart by a three thousand year-old conspiracy nurtured by blood and lies ...

A man throws himself to his death from the oldest inhabited place on the face of the earth, a mountainous citadel in the historic Turkish city of Ruin. This is no ordinary suicide but a symbolic act. And thanks to the media, it is witnessed by the entire world.

But few understand it. For charity worker Kathryn Mann and a handful of others in the know, it is what they have been waiting for. The cowled and secretive fanatics that live in the Citadel suspect it could mean the end of everything they have built - and they will kill, torture and break every law to stop that. For Liv Adamsen, New York crime reporter, it begins the next stage of a journey into the heart of her own identity.

And at that journey's end lies a discovery that will change EVERYTHING .

All fiction. A good read.

Sanctus by Dimon Tone. I picked it up in a charity book shop. It was written in 2011 but I think it's the first in a trilogy. I only occasionally pay full price for a book, that's because I can read 4 books or more in a week, so it would be very costly!!! I recently read a Denzeil and Pacoe book, I thought it was a TV prgoramme which I never watched. It's a bit unpc if you're delicate, but also a good read.
