  1. Winter is appealing. I am between books and I have game of thrones book 1, a song of fire and ice on the shelf. Which could work.
  2. I'm happy with either of those!
  3. Oh that's a great suggestion! Do you know, I was toying with the idea of reading The Iliad this year. I'm not sure I have the resolve to tackle it yet, but if I did it would fit nicely into this category. That isn't to say I wouldn't join in with something else however, something a bit easier perhaps!
  4. That is a wonderfully Hux review! I love your negative reviews

  6. I managed 14 books in the end, so that's not bad, though not quite as good as I'd hoped! The second Persepolis graphic novel was just as brilliant as the first and I'd recommend both to anyone. I enjoyed the Harry Potter but was quite distracted by trying to remember the plot from the film! I also quite enjoyed the JoJo Moyes. The only thing I struggled with was the quite marked style change between the parts of the book set in World war 1 and the parts set in the modern day. So, a few final rather rushed thoughts and that's a wrap on my 2023 thread!! Happy new year everyone!!
  7. Ooh Victorian Era sounds great. I would recommend anything by John Harwood for spooky Victorian gothic suspense. I've loved all 3 of his books so far. I was thinking of reading something spooky for the end of the year, so I will have to think of something with a Victorian twist.
  8. I read Treasure Island for the BCF book group and loved it. Its very pacy and I loved the atmosphere and the sheer menace of some of the characters. My brief thoughts on it can be seen on the group read page https://www.bookclubforum.co.uk/community/topic/17615-the-bcf-book-club-part-3/?do=findComment&comment=522778
  9. Fight Club and Vanilla Sky? You've probably already seen those though.
  10. The Machinist is another good one. Not a horror, a psychological thriller.
  11. There are lots of twists in horror, if you like that sort of thing. The big obvious ones are The Sixth Sense and The Others, but also stuff like Malignant, or The Boy. I enjoyed all of these. I'm not sure if that's your bag though.
  12. I am very intrigued now by 'From the Depths of the Sea'! I recently finished Treasure Island and found it a very enjoyable pacy read! OK it's old so the writing style isn't modern but it's a good classic adventure story. It should have been a very quick read - it's not that long - and but for some other things going on for me at the moment I'd have read it a lot more quickly. The pirates are very menacing and proper villains, and the book has plenty of peril and danger in it and I loved that. Some of the characters are dark and dangerous and I wouldn't want to meet any of them in a dark alley. Highly recommend. A Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! Aaaarrr!!
