[Who/Where Are You?]

I'm on a cotton farm in the Mississippi Delta in 1946.

Henry and I dug the hole seven feet deep.

 

Mudbound by Hillary Jordan

[C.J.Sansom]

Has anyone read Sansom's historical novels which began with Dissolution and are set in the times of Henry VIII? I picked up Revelation in a charity shop recently. The synopsis makes me think these books are historical thrillers played out with factual history as a fascinating background.

[What was the first fantasy/sci-fi or horror book that you read?]

I'm fairly certain it was Terry Brooks' Sword Of Shannara,fantasy-wise,and I'm still reading him 30+ yrs later(I sound ancient!). I've got the latest trilogy starting with Armageddon's Children waiting impatiently on my bookcase! Horror was James Herbert's Rats. I had nightmares as kid reading that and the two sequels! I can't honestly remember my first sci-fi! Def getting old!

[Where do you get your books?]

The library,but sometimes there are lengthy waits for orders,charity/second-hand shops,and online lately from amazon market place or Alibris.

[Goodreads]

I've been on GR a few months now,haven't tried LT.

[Who/Where Are You?]

I was star-gazing with two friends when there's a sudden flash and the stars and moon are no longer visible! I discover later that satellites are blocked affecting t.v and the internet,and that tho' the sun rises and sets ev'ryday it may no longer be our sun!

[Who/Where Are You?]

I am a group of rabbits, fleeing their home in search of a safer place to live. I've just crossed a river to pastures new...

 

Hmmm...sounds vaguely familiar!

[Who/Where Are You?]

I'm a Polish immigrant working on the London Underground trying to solve who keeps pushing women off platforms.

[Have you read a book more than once?]

Only Watership Down about 4 times,but I was 11 at the time!

[Who/Where Are You?]

I'm an ex-con who has just left prison, found out his wife has been murdered, and has been recruited by a mysterious man named Wednesday for a yet unknown quest. I've also been given the sun and the moon.

 

Can anyone figure that out?

 

Did you have room to put 'em up,or are they in a hotel double room?!

Never read Neil Gaiman,but was a big fan of the tv adaption of Neverwhere,so will have to sort it!

[Who/Where Are You?]

I have just left the future in a place called Labrador where being different can get you killed or banished. I am also following a man called Michael through the Himalayas.

 

Sounds intrigueing! What's the book?

[Who/Where Are You?]

Wow, sounds like a fascinating book ! I love Iceland (have been 5 times) and am fascinated by everything about the country - the landscape, it's music, the people, but most of all the history. I would love to know the title of this book so I can add it to my TBR list.

 

I am a newly married man in late 19th century Australia who has just inherited the family business, and has a deep fear and mistrust of women.

 

It's Viking:Odinn's Child by Tim Severin-it starts in Iceland,then moves to Greenland,Newfoundland,The Orkneys,and currently Ireland,but it's all set in the 11th century! Plus it's a trilogy,so I'm expecting more globetrotting!

When you say ALL the genres what sort of fantasy and thrillers do you like?

Hi Susanna

 

Fantasy faves are Terry Brooks,Mark Chadbourn & Celia Friedman.

Favourite thriller writer is/was John Case,but Robert McCammon has started writing historical thrillers and Kenneth Cameron's debut,'The Frightened Man' was excellent. What sort of fantasy & thriller d'you like?

[Hello!]
