  • This is fiction and still amazes me, what powerful men will try and do to support their own business and financial gain. This snippet is just a glimpse of what still goes on in the world. For full context. A father wants his daughter to latch on to a specific man. πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™‚οΈ

  • Disgrace by J.M Coetzee

    Finished reading: Disgrace by J. M. Coetzee, πŸ“šI first read the book in my twenties and the topics hit home. Now in my fourties’, I understand in more depth why this book caused controversy in its approach and stereotyping people. Read it with a mature view and open mind on the world.

  • The Judges List

    John Grisham, December 2021

    I love crime fiction with thriller in there too. Lee Child and Stephen King, are not as good as they used to be. The co-writing has changed their approach and method in story telling. Only slightly, but noticeable. Turning to John Grisham, I was not let down. Interesting and griping story with the minder day call-outs and twists. πŸ“š

  • Win by Harlan Coben. πŸ“š I could not finish the book. It is not like the normally usual writing style of Coben. It seems more tongue and cheek than suspense. Maybe I just expected more and will try again in the future. www.goodreads.com

Excellent book it you are into Motorsport. Looking for my next adventure. A form of crime thriller author similar to author Jo Nesbo. Any recommendations?

  • The Windup Bird Chronicle

    I came across Haruki Maurakami only about 5 years ago. What a brilliant author he is. The Windup Bird Chronicle is another one in the collection I am enjoying. His books are so descriptive and random, they make you really imerse yourself into one of the characters. πŸ“š 🎧
