We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families (Rwandan genocide)

Very good book.
 
Love old Wilbur smith books. When the lions feed is one of my all time fav books. Best adventure story I’ve ever read and made me want to explore africa so much.
 
Middlegame by Seanan McGuire.

It's kind of strange concept for a story but I'm about 100 pages in and so far it's been uhm ...... interesting. There's been nothing to really pull me in yet though.
 
Out of the Dark by Gregg Hurwitz.
If you like espionage, death , assassination and all that kind of stuff it's a must read.
2 thirds through it. Great read.
 
Clive Cussler - Medusa, published in 2009, A typical Clive read.
About a virus that similarly started in China.

Have you read the other Evan Smoak books? I feel like Out of the dark was a big improvement on the second book, looking forward to Into The Fire now.

To be honest , I've stumbled over him by accident.
Thoroughly enjoyed what I've read so far.
I'll probably try and start on the first of the tales.
Really hoping that he doesn't turn into Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt who is now verging on a bloody ridiculous version of Johnny English.

Sometimes it can be a little bit far fetched which I hate but I would recommend going back and reading the first three. I think the order is Orphan X, the Nowhere man, Hellbent and then Out of the dark. It was the Nowhere man I didnt enjoy as much but enjoyed it enough not to ditch the series.

Just started reading The Fuck-it list by John Niven. It’s about a guy who’s got terminal cancer and goes about getting straight with people from his past.

I’m a big John Niven fan. He understands our era better than most.

260 pages in, roughly the halfway point - it's gotten considerably better. I think this one just might end up forcing itself onto my books of the year shelf.
 
Ashes to ashes and Dust to dust - Tami Hoag
If you trust me do them in that order.
Murder crime genre.

The tin roof blowdown - James Lee Burke, a five star read IMHO.

Finished this recent, and...thank you! What a wonderful book, one of the best I’ve read for a very long time. Unputdownable.

Just Raced through David “Bumble” Lloyd’s Around the world in 80 pints, decent enough and funny in parts he struggled for material when talking about bars in Pakistan mind

Even though I have about a 100 books to read I am going to go through kolymsky heights by lionel davidson again which when I read it a few years ago was excellent

I seem to be putting off The Border by Don Winslow I know it will be very good but I am just not in the mood for the probably unrelenting grimness of the Mexican drug scene.
