    Just read two great reads.
    Author John Lawton I have really enjoyed over the years.His latest "Hammer to Fall" is a cracker.Could not put it down, so read it too quickly.
    Ian Rankin has a new book coming out on 29th September, called "A Song for the Dark Times." I was very lucky to get to borrow an advance "reading" copy.
    Even in retirement Rebus is a great character.A good read.

    Well I have been on Iceland reading and watching lately.
    First of all following on You Tube "Itchy Boots", travel from Denmark to Iceland via Faroe Islands, and then tripping around Iceland on her motorcycle.
    Then to round it off I really enjoyed "Gallows Rock" by YRSA Sigurdardottir isbn 978-1-473-69340-1.Best murder mystery I have read for awhile.

    In the series "Itchy Boots" Patagonia to Alaska [series 2 ]the scenery in Argentina,Patagonia and Chile was outstanding.The glaziers were stunning.
    Iceland starts via Faroe Islands Itchy Boots Series 3 eps 5.

    Brought home another Charles Cumming book from the library;A Colder War.
    Thought I had already read it.
    What a wonderful surprise to find I had not.
    A well crafted masterpiece.

    Great thread to revive.

    A good book recommendation never goes astray.....

    Not read anything worth recommending of late. Got a box full to work through from the local Rotary club book sale. I'm sure I bought books I've read before....

    I am told people buy books at the Rotary sales,read them, then donate them back to Rotary.
    Therefore should you miss a good read this year it will turn up next year..
    PS.Go to Wanaka library and ask for either Sue [the boss] or Deidre, and tell them I recommended "A Killer in November" by Simon Mason.

    Indeed - I have a big box on top of my beer fridge where they go back into ready to donate for next year - as well as any others I clean out.

    Thanks for the recommendation Percy!
