I'm a fairly fast reader when in the mood, plus the family were happy enough doing ZERO around the pool, which isn't always the case.<br />I've heard good things about THE WHITE VAN. EVERY MAN was very good, not totally amazing, but enjoyable.col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-27924836243428512362016-07-06T08:27:41.188-07:002016-07-06T08:27:41.188-07:00Col – Seven books?

It's not always easy to gauge it on Kindle reads, but I think only one was on or around 100 pages. The two paperbacks were 300 plus and 400 plus! It is an unusual cover, but probably not my favourite - you do like a skull though!col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-45192953082333096752016-07-04T11:47:25.999-07:002016-07-04T11:47:25.999-07:00Wow, even with 7 days off to do nothing but read, ...Wow, even with 7 days off to do nothing but read, I could not finish 7 books.

I'm pretty sure they are all available on Amazon UK. <br />A couple of them - Berney and Swieczynski I would be keeping an eye on the authors as I've enjoyed them before. A few - namely Buck, Reed and Lang, I discovered through their respective publishers - Brash Books and 280 Steps, both of which seem to put out the type of books I want to read.col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-10551119670717055442016-07-04T04:47:12.560-07:002016-07-04T04:47:12.560-07:00Glad you had a good holiday, Col.
