Thanks for this review. Have been debating whether or not to get this book myself so I think I will now.

First of all, apologies for not updating this thread as I should have! I confess that I have read several books since my last update so rather than comment on them all I will pick out the ones I enjoyed the most and update my reading list for the year shortly. Anyway, this is the book that I...

Andros Townsend?

Apologies for the delay in posting and going back to the playlist/guessing game briefly……I’ve been holidaying on the (sometimes) sunny shores of Lake Garda but following the thread via my phone and was delighted to see that my song nomination was the top choice. However, in the interests of...

Shooting Star - Bad Company

Blue Guitar - Justin Hayward & John Lodge

C J Sansom was the author that kick-started my interest in historical fiction - still the best writer of this genre for me.

If there are any fans of Mick Herron (Slough House series aka "Slow Horses"), I've had an email, from BookDrop, indicating that a number of his books are available for e readers for 99p each. Think it's just today though.

Haven't posted on here for a while, but when I saw the theme... No Business - Bonnie Raitt

Firstly apologies to all for missing my slot, I didn’t realise I was up next (my fault I know) and thank you to @Coatigan for stepping in. I’ve been super busy for a while, rarely visiting Bluemoon and have lost touch somewhat. As @RobMCFC alluded to I haven’t posted on the "Reading" thread for...

2024 Books 1. The Way it is Now - Garry Disher - 7/10 For my first read of 2024 I returned to one of my favourite genres, Aussie noir. The author, Garry Disher is one of the top crime writers in Australia and this one does not disappoint. The story starts in 2000, when Charlie Deravin is a...

That's disappointing to hear. I used a free Audible credit a couple of years ago to get Fairy Tale but I haven't got round to listening to it yet. (I'm struggling to find time to listen to all the new music too!)

“I Shall be Free” - Bob Dylan My final nomination for this theme is a Bob Dylan song. I could probably have nominated a Dylan song every day for this category but I have chosen this one because it is one of the songs that led to a lifelong love his music. I first heard the song as a youngster...

"Geronimo's Cadillac" - Dick Gaughan I realise that this would also have worked for the previous theme!

“John Lee” - Fairport Convention John Henry George "Babbacombe" Lee (1864 – 1945) was an Englishman famous for surviving three attempts to hang him for murder. Born in Devon, Lee served in the Royal Navy, and was a known thief. In 1885, he was convicted of the murder of his employer, Emma...

Not sure if he counts as a historical figure, certainly an American icon. He did however play historical figures! “John Wayne” - John Martyn The late, great John Martyn - have been waiting to post a JM track. Once had a drink with him in a bar in Edinburgh!

That was going to be my tomorrow pick! Sadly haven't seen them live.
