The Black Loch | Peter May

Yeeeeeeeeees!!!!!! I love Peter May 🥰

EadieB @Tove_Reads Not available for me to request so I‘ll have to request it from the library. 2d
Tove_Reads @EadieB is it published later there? I am already first in line to get it from the library, but no longer needing that. So happy to see May back with a new Lewis book! 2d
EadieB @Tove_Reads That‘s great! 2d

Yes, it‘s still absolutely magical! Really loved the book the second time as well! Peter May is a truly gifted writer, and I love this trilogy, which will have a fourth book added to it in September. Highly recommended, brilliant storytelling 🥰

Rereading this one, because the trilogy is getting a fourth book in September. So weird, I know I loved the book the first time I read it, but can honestly say I remember nothing at all from it, except the island 🫣🤷🏼🕵🏼😳

When do we start reading? The fourth one will be published in September. Can‘t wait! @Andrew65

Andrew65 I‘m good to go whenever you are.

What about :

Book 1 W/c 15th July
Book 2 W/c 5th August
Book 3 W/c 26th August
(edited) 3w
Tove_Reads @Andrew65 Otherwise good, but 15-19 I‘ll be at a writing retreat, so not really time to read. Will therefore read the first book next week! 3w

I‘ll be going on a writer‘s retreat/crime novel course on Sunday. Can‘t believe it! Been dreaming about this for years! Also decided I stare too much at different screens, so decided to go old school. 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! 🕵🏼🦏🐘🐆🦓

BarbaraBB That sounds so cool! Have a fabulous time 🤍 1mo

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. 3mo
andrew61 I wasn't aware of a new part in this series, which I loved, definitely keep my eyes peeled, thanks. 3mo

Anyone read Nick Thacker‘s books? I‘d like to try one or two, and they seem to be on Kindle Unlimited, but I have no clue where to start. He‘s written quite a lot, yet I‘m not familiar with him 🤷🏼

Andrew65 Not read any, but appears I do own books 1, 2 and 5 in this series. Must have been free downloads. If you choose to read from the series let me know, l‘m already set up for the first 2 books 🤣 (edited) 4mo

Always great to read the latest Boyne. Can‘t wait for the next three elements. Boyne tackles the issues in life that hurts us the most, but in a way that you really want to read about them. The short book is so much more than just story. Boyne truly is one of the greatest storytellers ever. ❤️

Sad and proud at the same time. I usually never bail, but now I‘ve done it twice. Simply could not get into the way the story was written in the tagged one. Decided it‘s not worth reading even though I wanted to know whodunnit. The other one‘s writing style was too pretentious for me. So, I‘ve finally learned to bail!!!!
