I got it on Google play last night and I read the first few chapters. Grim, but very readable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Bunny by Mona Awad Maybe the weirdest book I've ever read but I'm pretty sure it worked. Didn't have a clue what was happening or where it was going and it constantly surprised. Very strange, ultimately enjoyable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint dave Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Stalin : Court Of The Red Tsar by Simon Sebag Montefiore A lot about the intrigue and paranoia of Stalin and his colleagues. The purges , forced famine and the imagined treasons , wholesale deportations , whole families just basically swept away when anyone got too popular or on the wrong side of Stalin. He held the power of life and death over anyone or any group in the Soviet union and wasn't afraid to use it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig fae the Vale Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Red Side Story by Jasper Fforde We've been waiting a long time for this book and it doesn't disappoint even a tiny bit. Brilliantly written, funny, tense and a hugely satisfying ending. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 The Ionian Mission by Patrick O'Brian. Best series I have read in years. Individual books are kind of meaningless, just a massive story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Jawbone by Mònica Ojeda. Superb. Lyrical and poetic and genuinely chilling and haunting. A fantastic translation ad well, which really seemed to capture the spirit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
