Four greatest kingdoms, brilliant, Jack West, Scarecrow and Motherfucker all in the same story

Hello stranger!
How had I not heard of this?!

[Randall]

Four greatest kingdoms purchased

[mattp]

No surprise I have just bought a book on the same topic.

Dan Simmons?

I do have that one, I seem to recall you saying it was shite?

Like a lot of recent Simmons stuff, I thought it was a bit tedious. Commendable research and detail, dull story.
I do recommend The Terror though....

I find my capacity to read waffle more reduced as it older.
Actually given up on a few, Ashley bell by Dean Koontz a prime example.

[Randall]

Just finished I am missing by tim weaver.
Very good indeed

[Randall]

Next up is shadow in the glass from the doctor who history collection.

Have to say this is a bloody good book so far

Started The Thicket by Joe Lansdale.

Lansdale has done some good horror stuff, but this is more of a dark western.

[Randall]

Not heard of him,worth a look?
I'm really enjoying shadow in the glass

He's more famous for his noir and crime stuff these days. Seen the film "Cold In July"? That's one of his. And the Hap & Leonard series is now a TV drama. The Elvis v the mummy film "Bubba-Ho-Tep" was one of his too.
In the 80's he was more horror though - The Nightrunners was good, and there are some good short story collections I've read - High Cotton and Bumper Crop.
He does some Sci-Fi and western stuff too - bit of a jack of all trades.

I'll have a look.
Always looking for different authors as I tend to read crime a lot and it can get very samey.

[Randall]

Finished shadow in the glass which was very good.
Next up is the beautiful dead by belinda bauer.

[Randall]

Bought midnight at the bright ideas bookstore today.
Looks quite good.

[Randall]

Looks like my matthew reilly book is lost in the post.

[Randall]

Underwhelmed by the belinda bauer book.
Won't be bothering with any more of hers.

[Randall]

Going to read another of the doctor who history collection next, the roundheads by Mark gatiss.

He penned some excellent episodes and appeared in a couple

I've read two of the history collection so far and both been good. Breaks up all the crime I read.
