so-so

Not my favourite Jackson Brodie so far. It took far too long to get into, and I found it unnecessarily complicated at parts. But they can't all be winners, and I'm still looking forward to the rest of the series!

sarahbarnes I read the first in the series and want to read another soon! 2mo

Started Early, Took My Dog: A Novel | Kate Atkinson

A slow night at work, so I'm starting in on the next Jackson Brodie. Wasn‘t expecting to find a character with a degree from my alma mater! I've never seen it referenced outside of CanLit.

Ruthiella Neat! I love this series. 2mo

sarahbarnes I need to read more of this series! 2mo

TheBookHippie Oh fun! 2mo

squirrelbrain How lovely! And the Merrion Centre is not that far (12 miles ish?)from me! It‘s a shopping ‘mall‘ that‘s a bit of a dump! 🤣 2mo

Kitta Oh my sister is doing her residency at Queens in Kingston! 2mo

Ruthiella I love Atkinson‘s Jackson Brodie novels. ❤️ 2y

quietjenn @Ruthiella I‘d forgotten how good they are! But, at least that means I can now binge if I want to 😃 2y

The Damned United | David Peace

4th book finished for #FabulousFebruary.
Hard to sum up this book but was a great experience from beginning to end, covering a controversial character, and the most controversial period in his career too. Very enlightening, but you do question very seriously Clough‘s approach when becoming manager at Leeds Utd. It was always likely to end in dramatic failure. Don Revie was living rent free in his head.

andrew61 Great review, a book I really enjoyed. I have red or dead somewhere but always thought twice about it, might give it a go soon. 3y

batsy I've had this on my TBR for awhile—nice review! 3y

Andrew65 @The_Book_Ninja Isn‘t that the truth too. I‘m now reading his autobiography to see what he says bout that episode. (edited) 3y

LeeRHarry I‘m a Forest fan, so definitely keen to read this 😊 3y

Andrew65 @LeeRHarry Still remember those heady days when Forest shocked the world and for a while were unbeatable, despite a strong Liverpool team. This cover‘s Clough‘s years up until the end of his time at Leeds. Now need to search a book covering his Forest years to see what lessons he learned from his time at Leeds. 3y

The_Book_Ninja @Andrew65 🙌🏼 3y

Andrew65 @batsy Thanks, well worth a read. 3y

Andrew65 @andrew61 Want to get to that next. 3y

LeeRHarry @Andrew65 I‘m just keeping my fingers crossed that they stay up in the premier league. 🤞 3y

Andrew65 @LeeRHarry Looking good, but a shame about the loss today. 3y

LeeRHarry @Andrew65 yes it was shame - can‘t win them all! 😏 3y

The Damned Utd: A Novel | David Peace

Couldn‘t sleep last night so started this non fiction audiobook focusing on Brian Clough and his 44 day managerial period at Leeds United, as well as some of his earlier managerial career.

Enjoying it so far.

Vansa Loved the movie! 3y

Sargar114 This looks fascinating! 3y

Andrew65 @Sargar114 It is definitely that and eye opening. 3y

Andrew65 @Vansa Not seen that yet, I will aim to watch it after reading the book. 3y

I enjoyed this little whodunit story with lead detective Kate Shackleton. It‘s book 6 in a series but works as a stand alone (I haven‘t read any of the others.) There were a few things on Kate‘s list to include a missing person, a murder, a lost monkey, another missing person and another murder. Also, a lot of it takes place in a library! A quick read for bookclub and #booked2022 ~ a murder mystery, is now complete!

Cinfhen Yay!! 3y

CarolynM I‘ve read a few of these. They‘re pretty good 🙂 3y

Soaking up some unusually warm November weather in the hammock with flip flops and the pooch! Book club is on Tuesday and I‘m just getting this one started.

squirrelbrain I‘m a member of The Leeds Library, where this book is set! 3y

Cortg @squirrelbrain No way! That‘s a fun fact! 😀 3y
