June Books

Another collage of my monthly reading.

Still, yes still, dipping in and out of 81, the story of Spurs' FA Cup win of that year. Finished Mick Herron's This is What Happened, that I started just before the end of May. I finally got around to reading the first of Conn Iggulden's Emperor series, which covers the childhood and teenage years of Julius Ceasar and Mark Anthony. Bought and read in less than a week Stephen King's You Like It Darker, the latest collection of (dark) short stories from the master. I'm currently reading the 2nd Cormoran Strike novel, The Silkworm from Robert Galbraith (aka JK Rowling) and in-between read the (very very) short Jack Reacher story, The Fourth Man by Lee Child.

I'll be taking 81 and The Silkworm into July.
My Uncle is a firm Spurs fan, he would approve of that book! I watched some episodes of the TV adaptation of Strike. Bit gory and graphic for me in places, but wondering if the books are the same. Looks like a good mix to keep the brain engaged!

Not my taste in books but I am sure they are good. I live in Maine the same state as Stephen King but I can't read his books. I am subject to nightmares if I watch or read horror stuff. But thank goodness there are many good writers to please us all. I do audio books and love to listen while I drive if alone. Also in my house as I play on my computer. Forntunately I can borrow them for the local library.

Great set of books, have read a lot of Robert Galbraith and Lee Child's books.

@nigelrogers Lee Child’s Reacher has run its course now I think: Child is milking the character. Like @casablanca I’ve seen the BBC dramatisation of Strike and enjoyed them, so thought I’d give them a go.

I love this idea but how do you manage to read so much in a month??
June 30th, 2024  
@susiemc 1 of these I was reading last month, 1 I will be reading i to next month. 1 is a very (very) short story and weekdays I read lunchtimes, evenings and at least half an hour when I go to bed. Weekends, I read more often.

Even though these are not in my reading list I really enjoy seeing what other people read.
