BD Ashby Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Hi I'm David 33 married with a baby boy. I absolutely love reading. Looking to discuss books with likeminded people. I've only become a hardcore reader within the last few years and my biggest passion is British crime genre. If the family are out and I'm left home alone I like nothing better than to sit and dive into a book for a few hours. My wife recently gave me a kindle I love it but you can't beat the feel of a book. I've become addicted to buying books I can't get enough of them.

Athena Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Welcome David . What are some of your favourite authors or books? When you say British crime, the first thing that came to my (Dutch) mind is Agatha Christie. I don't live in Britain, without looking it up I wouldn't know exactly which authors are British and which are American (yep, shame on me), except if they are some of my favourite authors (I know Agatha Christie is British).

LankaDivore Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Hi David. I share your opinion towards your kindle. Printed books are better. I think we are all addicted to buying and reading books, that's why we are here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss-Nightlife Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Hi David, Welcome! (I'm new here too!) Have you read much Chris Carter or Alex Marwood? Not British but some of the best crime novels I've ever read. Or if you're interested in some really established authors I highly recommend Mo Hayder. I adore her books.

Peacefield Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Welcome, David! Happy you've joined us When I think of British crime my mind automatically goes to Elizabeth George. I've only read one of her books, but I aim to read more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Stuart MacBride is one of my favourite authors! If you like his dark sense of humour, you'll probably also enjoy Christopher Brookmyre - not crime per se, although crimes are committed. Most set in Scotland too. Well worth a look.
