Just picked this book up. Was told it was really good, looking forward to reading it after I finish my book about surviving living with a narcissist.

I have had that on and off my to read list for a while.

it sounds interesting but I also know I won't ever get around to it
 
I've now embarked on a Louise Penny journey. Canuck author based in Montreal. The setting is Three Pines, Que and the hero is Armand Gamache, Inspector for the Quebec Surete.

Excellent reads.

Trying to find Mick Farren novels. He has an excellent vampire character called Victor Renquist.

Finally picked up one of Butcher's Dresden novels; about 50 pages in and hooked so far.

Also picked up (but haven't started) Becky Chambers' Long way to a small angry planet. Looks like it might be fun

the Dresden Files are some of my favorites. Lots of great characters!

enjoy!

I've read the first two of those Chambers' books...they are probably a little too woke for some of the crowd here.

I really really enjoyed her Monk and Robot novellas. Quick reads and really just books that made me feel pretty content.

Apparently 2 different trilogies.

I now have the Warlord Chronicles sitting on my hearth waiting for me to finish my current boo, which is a re-read.

Dixie City Jam, a James Lee Burke - Robicheaux effort.
 
Just started Jeff Shaara's The Old Lion

but I couldn't sleep the other night and picked up my kindle and started reading The Heroes by Joe Abercrombie and I had forgotten how much I enjoy his writing.

Gearing up for my next significant read: the massive two volume biography of Sir William Osler.

I got this first-edition 1926 two-volume Oxford Press set when in the US and timidly began reading it and absolutely can't put it down. Osler is a fascinating person that everyone should know about. I'm going to the Osler Library at McGill in Montreal at the end of next month on my Toronto to Quebec City tour. Actually, I'm going as far North as Rimouski to see the Empress of Ireland wreck museum.

That one is stellar, the Bobbsey Twins from Homicide fighting Nazis after a sunken sub is discovered. I love Clete, pouring cement in to a mobsters Caddy...

If I may, an author I would recommend is Thomas Kelly. His first was called Empire Rising. He hasn't put anything out in a long time but I enjoyed is work

Always on the look out for more to read.

Will give him a look.
 
Damn! My regional library doesn't have him. Will have to try inter-library loans.
 
Haven't read in years but I just finished a reread of Paper Lion by George Plimpton.

Damn if I don't have a very old paperback copy of that on my bookshelf. My Dad bought it when it came out and after he passed I took that, a bunch of Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller CD's, etc.

But I'd read it when it first was bought my my Dad. Waited a spell to see the movie but I did eventually.
 
Now halfway through 1500+ pages of the Warlord Chronicle trilogy. Loveable and hateable characters,

Historically correct but for the side plots, great battle sequences.
