I plan on rereading all my Stephen King books at some point. Black House was brilliant, it is linked in some way to another book of his if I remember correctly, possibly The Talisman. At the moment I am very slowly reading Sleeping Beauties by King and his son. Too many good books and not enough time:(

Yep, it's the follow-up to The Talisman.

I enjoyed Sleeping Beauties. There were a few clunky passages where I was like "That's definitely Owen's writing" but overall the joint effort worked well and it didn't go too far down the Under the Dome road of repugnantant toxic masculinity, which was a relief.

Sacred - Denis Lebanese. Very enjoyable so far. Read some of his
Other stuff and haven't been disappointed so far.

A God in Every Stone - Kamila Shamsie.

I adore how she writes.

Did that recently, was surprisingly different to what I expected, particularly towards end.

A fascinating book:). If you enjoy that, and you haven't read it already "Smoke gets in Your Eyes" by Caitlin Doughty is a great insight into the world of cremation.

The strange death of Europe by Douglas Murray,highly recommended.

Agreed

thank you for the recommendation I have read that one - it was very good too

One for you along these lines if you haven't read it is Stiff The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach

Autosport

Gallery of the dead by Chris Carter. Love this mans mind

Ipso

Ravenspur: Rise of the Tudors by Con Iggulden. The fourth and last of his War of the Roses series, fascinating period of history and a family tree that is like a pretzel.
He's not as good a writer as Bernard Cornwell (who I'd like to see tackle the story).
Has anyone a recommendation for a good book on the topic?

Is that her real surname?😊

About 20 years after I first read it I'm rereading Strumpet City. It's a fantastic book. I won't say it mimics current society, but there are some similarities, which considering the plot is set a century ago suggests nothing much changes in this country.

Have you read The Circus Animals by the same writer my husband really rates it but I can't get into it, I have made a couple of attempts to read it.

The Old man & the sea. Hemingway. Not my first or last time to read this. So good.

I'm hitting a birthday milestone soon, I may re-read it. Then I'll go to sleep and dream about the lions.

seveneves by neal stephenson.
i think he's great in general but it's slower going than i'm used to.
great book so far though
just finished the bear and the nightingale which was great, i'm gonna get the next one

Mayflower by Nathaniel Philbrick.
The story of the pilgrim fathers. Nicely written and very informative on an aspect of history I only had a passing knowledge of.

While it was generally well received, a lot of people really hate the gear change in the last third of it. I enjoyed it though.

Malari

I've started Stoner by John Williams, as I'd never heard of it before, but it seemed to be recommended by quite a few people. So far so dull really. I'm about a third of the way through and it's not appealing to me at all.

Trigger Happy

John Simpson's We choose to speak of war and strife.

It's a book of stories about new foreign correspondants. Not my normal type of thing but it is really interesting and broken down in to nice bite sizes.

I'm about half way through Sleeping Beauties by Stephen & Owen King. It's not bad but a bit heavy on the all men are scumbags theme.

MarkY91

I bought "the couple next door" months ago. I should start giving it a go.

I thought he was remarkably restrained in that compared to Under the Dome.

I finished Carrie Fisher's The Princess Diarist on Saturday. I was a little underwhelmed, tbh. Starting Joyce Carol Oates' A Book of American Martyrs today.
