Just finished "The North Water" by Ian McGuire.
Victorian era novel set in the dying days of the whaling industry.

This novel plays out in a tough world & is an unrelenting, exciting & violent read.

I loved it

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

There's a good one written by a medical examiner. Morgue by Vincent Dimaio

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?
