Oh, I need to get back to reading some of his novels @blackkitty2014 - going to take a look at which ones I haven't read yet; I'm sure by now there are a lot. I saw that he has another book coming out in June that takes place in the same setting as this book - do you think you'll pick up the next one?
I eventually will @itsfi . For some dumb reason I thought the whole series was out. Camino Island is a quick read. Camino Ghost is a short one as well. I own both. I probably go through Camino Ghost real fast. My problem is I read John Grisham years and years ago so some was blurry and I’m not sure which ones I read back in the day so I pick up his most recent books and go backwards 🤣😂
Hahahaha! I love it @blackkitty2014 - reading a series backwards. Yeah, for a while Grisham was putting out books with some frequency and most of them seemed to have a movie based on it.
I’ve mostly been rereading old faves, but this month I’ll finally read:
It’s been on my list for a long time, and I wanted to read at least the first novel before watching Tencent’s 2023 TV adaption (I always like to read a novel before watching its TV/movie adaption), but wound up doing neither thing. Now that Netflix will release their own TV adaption, I really gotta start these books. 😅 I’ve been told the novels get into China’s Cultural Revolution, which I assume was heavily censored out of Tencent’s live-action series but might remain in Netflix’s—though Netflix’s trailer makes it look like they took a more global approach to the story. It’ll be very interesting to watch both TV series. But I won’t do that til I’ve read the source material.
100% with you @WinglessOne on reading the novel before watching the TV / movie adaption. Or, at least I try to, if I know there's a book ahead of time.
Me three. 😘
OMG there is a book community on here!?! Can’t believe I’m just finding this thread. Love seeing what everyone is reading. I just finished Yellowface and absolutely loved it. I’m on to Cobalt Red now and it’s a heartbreaking but important read. Definitely recommend both.
Glad you found this thread @KrissySM; welcome! These two books sound interesting; making a note to look into them.
Welcome, @KrissySM ! We used to actively read a scheduled list of books (listed at the top of the page), but it eventually fell to the wayside. Now we read independently, posting what we read and helping each other find our next reads. 📚
I'm definitely going to look into your two books.
Happy to have found this thread and will update on my reads 🤓
Finished these in the last couple weeks.
Whoa! Look at you go @blackkitty2014! You're a reading fiend! 😍 Ahhh, James Patterson - another author I used to read a lot from. Making another note ...
@itsfi I blamed Amazon for this. I’m not familiar with Micheal Bennet series. They throws at me random books for super cheap lfrom .99 to $4.99 from times to times. Good marketing on their part. I end up reading the series and I’m sure there will be purchases in the future since my library doesn’t have complete series 😂🤣
Well played amazon marketing; or should I say, well played, amazon marketing AI; well played. That's how they get us @blackkitty2014!
You are on a roll, @blackkitty2014 ! 😄 I did finish Paris Agent (posted above) last week. Now I'm reading a book on how to become a minimalist--yea, right, not gonna happen! 🤣
Hehehe thx you seems taking me forever @Titian06 especially that Stephen King book. I thought I have to renew it after 21 day limit ran out 😂🤣
I've been meaning to post my reading adventures. I recently finished the first two books and started the third book.
Of these three @Titian06, was there one you enjoyed more than the others?
Hi, @KrissySM ! It was predictable, yet at the same time it was a nice, easy read allowing me to destress. If you like stories set during WWII, then I recommend. If not, you won't be missing anything.
