The Second Sleep by Robert   Harris
The Second Sleep
by Robert Harris (Goodreads Author)
Rate this book
Clear rating
Second Sleep is at its most compelling when it leans into the plausibility of its central catastrophe. Robert Harris imagines an apocalypse whose causes feel disturbingly feasible, not the stuff of science fiction excess but the cumulative result of ...more

The Bone Hacker by Kathy Reichs
Rate this book
Clear rating
The Bone Hacker was only my second Temperance “Tempe” Brennan novel, but having already loved her in the previous book (#21), I was very happy to spend more time in her company. Tempe remains the highlight for me—smart, driven, and wryly observant—an ...more

Cold, Cold Bones by Kathy Reichs
Rate this book
Clear rating
Cold, Cold Bones was my the first Temperance “Tempe” Brennan book I read and I loved her, especially her sarcastic comments and sense of humour. I also found her relationship with her daughter, Katy, compelling; the way Reichs portrays Katy’s PTSD an ...more

This is the first book I read by this author.

The Good Lie is a tense, compulsively readable psychological thriller that kept me hooked from start to finish. A.R. Torre masterfully layers suspense, intricate plotting, and moral ambiguity, making it im

The Snowdonia Killings by Simon McCleave
Rate this book
Clear rating
The Snowdonia Killings is an easy and engaging read that kept me turning the pages, but I didn’t quite love it as much as I hoped. The setting is atmospheric—Snowdonia itself is almost a character, with its rugged landscapes adding tension and mood—b ...more

Shadowblack by Sebastien de Castell
Rate this book
Clear rating
The 2nd book in the series - Shadowblack takes everything I enjoyed about Spellslinger 1 and sharpens it. The humour is still there, the pacing is just as brisk, but the story feels darker, broader, and more confident in what it’s building. This is v ...more

Spellslinger by Sebastien de Castell
Rate this book
Clear rating
I don't normally read YA books, but after reading all of the Greatcoats books, I picked up Spellslinger 1. It completely won me over. From the very first chapters it was clear this was fantasy with a difference—lighter on its feet, sharper in its hum ...more

The Guardians by John Grisham
The Guardians
by John Grisham (Goodreads Author)
Rate this book
Clear rating
The Guardians is John Grisham at his most compelling—angry, humane, and impossible to put down. From the outset, the characters leap off the page. The “goodies” are deeply likeable despite their flaws, driven more by stubborn decency than heroics, wh ...more

The Evening and the Morning by Ken Follett

Clear rating
I've been meaning to read this for a long time and finally did so before Christmas 2025.

The Evening and the Morning is an engaging and confident return to Kingsbridge, but for me it inevitably lives in the long shadow of The Pillars of the Earth. As
