This week I’m taking a look back at some of my enjoyable reads from the past … both from my reading past and the literal past. Historical Fiction is my genre of choice this week. I’ve always been the kind of guy who looks back at the past and just wants to learn more about…… Continue reading Read But Not Forgotten – Historical Fiction
Frustratingly, what with my working in the live events industry, I am still on furlough and cannot wait until the day comes that I can get back to work. As it is, I have had a lot of time on my hands so at least my posting on the blog has been regular (roughly every…… Continue reading July 2020 Wrap-Up
This week I’m looking back at some of the thriller reads I enjoyed before blogging. I didn’t read a great deal out of my comfort zone before I started blogging (that mainly being Warhammer novels) but what books I did, I tended to enjoy. Thrillers, for me, were pretty much home runs whenever I picked…… Continue reading Read But Not Forgotten – Thrillers
Blurb: An irresistible tale of swashbuckling pirates in the New World from master storyteller Michael Crichton – now in paperback Jamaica, in 1665 a lone outpost of British power amid Spanish waters in the sunbaked Caribbean. Its capital, Port Royal, a cuthroat town of taverns, grog shops and bawdy houses – the last place imaginable…… Continue reading Pirate Latitudes by Michael Crichton – A Book Review

Last week on my new, and hopefully not dreadfully short, series for ‘Read But Not Forgotten’ I looked at some of my favourite series starters from before I started blogging or reviewing in any meaningful fashion. Today’s offering is a look back at the books that I really wish I hadn’t wasted my time on.…… Continue reading Read But Not Forgotten – The Bad Reads
I’ve only been blogging for a couple of years and, much like everyone else, I’ve been reading ever since I figured out the knack of it. With that in mind, it goes without saying that there’s likely to be a good deal of books that I read before and have never really shown any love…… Continue reading Read But Not Forgotten – Series Starters
I’ve gone a little out of my norm this month and purchased a non-fiction book, along with a thriller. And, of course, some stuff that’s a tad more usual for my reading tastes. As usual, it’s a selection of Physical/E-books and Audiobooks. Physical/E-books Dead Mountain by Donnie Eichar Genre: Non-Fiction In February 1959, a group…… Continue reading Book Haul
Blurb: It was only meant to be a game . . . None of us ever agreed on the exact beginning. Was it when we started drawing the chalk figures, or when they started to appear on their own? Was it the terrible accident? Or when they found the first body? Author: C. J. Tudor…… Continue reading The Chalk Man by C.J. Tudor – A Book Review
As I’m sure is pretty similar to anyone else who is furloughed, I have had a lot of extra time on my hands. This time has been spent doing all sorts including reading, writing (just started a horror novel which I’m excited for), sunbathing (I’m hopeful of a tan) and a whole lot of other…… Continue reading May 2020 Wrap-Up
