[Buckinghamshire - The Dark Is Rising by Susan Cooper]

I have a question... I would very much like to join in the discussion of the DIR books but I am not really interested in doing a whole challenge as it just not my cuppa tea. Can I still comment and join in this thread without needing to be a part of the whole challenge?

Bug River (and yes it is a real river it runs through Poland), Betty White, Boston, Byzantium

[Which book is this?]

It is in fact the first book in the series : Rebel by Bernard Cornwell I have just finished reading it and it was a great book.

 

Your turn!

[Desert Island Essentials]

LOL I dunno, maybe there was a purple people eater loose on your island but let us hope for the best! Maybe he will wash up on Athenas island?

 

Been busy reading Bernard Cornwells first Starbuck book and couldn't put it down, just started the second one, happily its turning out to be just as good as the first one

[Which book is this?]

Here is another quote from the book,

 

"'Of course I hope that,' Bird said 'No One in his right mind wants a battle.'

 

'Nate dose' Adam said teasingly.

 

'I said "in his right mind,"' Bird pounced. 'I am careful to be precise with my words, perhaps because I never went to Yale. Do you really want to see battle ********?'

 

******** half smiled. 'I want to see the elephant.'"

 

I hope that helps jog some memories
