Andrew65 Always! Any suggestions of a book we can both get hold of. 2d
EadieB I would like to read too. Let me know what you decide to read. (edited) 2d
Tove_Reads Yay! Definitely need some #buddyreads now. I actually have time to read and I also need to relax! Have you read the wild fens series by Jack Cartwright? Or SA Dunphy‘s David Dunningham? @Andrew65 @EadieB 21h
See All 36 Comments
Tove_Reads @EadieB @andrew65 Or Wes Markin? 21h
EadieB Haven‘t heard of them. Where do I get these books? 19h
Tove_Reads @EadieB I got them from Amazon Uk. Really annoying that the US and UK Amazon are so different. 19h
EadieB Are you using kindle unlimited? Which one do you want to read first? (edited) 19h
Tove_Reads @eadieb Right now I have it for awhile. Got it for 3 months for 99p. 19h
EadieB Which book? 19h
Tove_Reads @eadieb I‘ll read all of them, so doesn‘t matter. They all sound good. Dunphy‘s are fairly expensive, so def want to read them soon. Wild fens are like 15 books, and Markin has lots as well. Can @Andrew65 get any of these? 19h
EadieB He can probably get the ones from Amazon UK 19h
EadieB I just ordered After She Vanished by SA Dunphy. 18h
Tove_Reads @eadieb I love his books! So far read Boyle and Keneally, and they‘ve all been fantastic! Can‘t wait! Ready to start tomorrow if @andrew65 is 18h
Tove_Reads @eadieb Been busy writing my own books and a play (and sadly going to funerals as well as supporting friends with cancer, ALS etc.). So I need a break! 18h
EadieB My book won‘t be here until January 2 18h
Tove_Reads @eadieb Oh no, so we need something else before that. 18h
EadieB That‘s terrible! You definitely do need a break! 18h
Tove_Reads @EadieB I‘ve been meaning to read several Bookouture authors like Carolyn Arnold and Rita Herron. Pretty sure we‘ll like these series. (edited) 18h
Tove_Reads @eadieb More interested in the Rita Herron ones. 18h
EadieB Doesn't seem to be any books for Carolyn Arnold and Rita Herron right now. 17h
Andrew65 @EadieB @Tove_Reads What about the Elizabethan mystery series, the Nicholas Shelby Series. Most of the series seems available on Prime or Kindle Unlimited in the U.K., and seen good reviews for them. Don‘t know about their availability in the US either via the library, Amazon or other options.

(edited) 16h
EadieB @Andrew65 @Tove_Reads I would like to read the Nicholas Shelby series. I am able to get the books through EBay. 13h
Andrew65 Are you able to get them @Tove_Reads, and are you interested? 1h
EadieB @Andrew65 My book is coming Dec 26 thru the 30th. I‘m reading the SA Dunphy series too. After She Vanished is coming January 2. (edited) 1h
Tove_Reads @Andrew65 @eadieb Sorry, been volunteering, so running around doing things, goodwill Christmas. That is actually one series I will not read. DNF the first book, which almost never happens. Couldn‘t get into it at all. Decided life is too short for me to read this book 🤷🏼 18m
Tove_Reads @eadieb @andrew65 Neaely finished with the first Rita Herron book, started this morning. Trying to think of something we could all read right now 🤔 16m
EadieB @tove_reads @Andrew65 I‘m reading from the Goodreads best books of 2024 about 1/2 done. (edited) 6m
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads @EadieB Any other suggestions? now
Andrew65 @EadieB Not even heard of The Booklover‘s Library. now
EadieB @Andrew65 @Tove_Reads How about this book on NetGalley. I read his first book and it was pretty good. You could select it and probably get approved to read it. https://www.netgalley.co.uk/catalog/book/494163 now
Tove_Reads @eadieb @andrew65 The Dark Library by Mary Anna Evans? Read now on NG. now
EadieB @Tove_Reads l can‘t access that book. Not having much luck, are we? (edited) now

Traitors Gate | Jeffrey Archer
post image

Reading Traitors Gate to catch up with the series, eagerly waiting for the next book in the series! I admire Jeffrey Archer‘s writing style and his editing skills. He edits his books up to 14 times! You can see that! So many authors could do with a bit more editing. I‘m spending most of my nights working on my own series atm. It‘s fascinating and fun, a bit scary, but let‘s see what happens!

EadieB I‘ve read that! Great book! 3mo

The Black Loch | Peter May

I loved it! The best thing to do is to read the old books and then continue with this one. So many characters from back in the days, and so much history. This book was great, but also heartbreaking. Peter May is a magnificent writer, and his characters are so believable and flawed that sometimes it chills my bones. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️#netgalley

EadieB @Tove_Reads I‘m ready to read The black loch but can‘t get the book until September 12th 4mo

I‘ll be going on a writer‘s retreat/crime novel course on Sunday. Can‘t believe it! Been dreaming about this for years!

Sometimes it‘s just all I need - take a break from the internet and let my brain work without distractions 🙂 Really hope my ideas will turn into a book soon! 🕵🏼🦏🐘🐆🦓

Oh WOW!!! Book number 4 in the Lewis trilogy (all trilogies seem to be 4 or 5 books nowadays… 🫣). But, tbh this is one of my top three trilogies of all time!!! So, thinking I need to reread. Rarely do it, but seems appropriate now.

Andrew65 Can‘t wait for this. I‘m with you let;s re-read the trilogy first. One of my favourite trilogies too. 8mo
