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! 2mo

The Black Loch | Peter May
post image
Pickpick

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 3mo
Tove_Reads @EadieB It is worth the wait! 3mo
EadieB @Tove_Reads Great! 3mo
Tove_Reads @EadieB Started reading the last Department Q book. Also heartbreaking. 3mo

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

What about :

Book 1 W/c 15th July
Book 2 W/c 5th August
Book 3 W/c 26th August

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! 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! 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! 🕵🏼🦏🐘🐆🦓

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. 6mo

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 🤷🏼

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. ❤️
