It‘s gone midnight so kicking off the #JoyousJanuary Readathon by getting stuck into this book. Book 28 in the excellent Ben Hope Series. This will get me back up to date I‘m the series. #SeriesLove2024 @TheSpineView

Recommend this series to anyone who enjoys this hero series such as Gabriel Allon, Jack Reacher, Mitch Rapp etc.

Andrew65 Whoops tagged this with the wrong book, teach me to post at 1 am 🤦‍♂️

It should be The Tudor Deception by Scott Mariani!

Two books with some navy blue on the cover. I have read a handful of the Cotton Maole books and some are better than others. But so far, The King's Deception is my favorite. Steve Berry is a very engaging speaker. I was so impressed by him I bought a book having just heard him speak just so he could autograph it. #wintergames2020 #ReadNosedReindeer

Andrew65 This is one of my favourites too. 4y

Andrew65 @dariazeoli Thanks, It was a very enjoyable week of reading. 👍 7y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Andrew65 I do that too, but usually it‘s ones from the previous month. 😂. I‘m just finishing up some I started in March. 7y
Andrew65 @Riveted_Reader_Melissa BearTown which I want to finish this week I started in early March and still reading a Chunkster from January! 🤭 7y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Andrew65 🤫I won‘t tell if you don‘t! It will just be a secret between us, everybody on Litsy, and in my case everyone on Goodreads too.😉 7y
Andrew65 @Riveted_Reader_Melissa 😂 Should be easy to keep it quiet then. 😂 7y

This is book 8 in the Cotton Malone Series, and I have to say I think it is the best one so far. With the backdrop of the Tudors, and particularly Elizabeth, there is great history in this one and a very intriguing storyline - to say the least. Also good modern day intrigue and interesting developments linked to Cotton‘s own son. Thoroughly recommended and can‘t wait to get to the next one. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️

Itchyfeetreader I read the first few of these but did not know there were so many now!! 7y
Andrew65 @Itchyfeetreader Yes the 13th has just been published, with the 14th due to be published next year. 7y

Book #8 Cotton Malone Series. Just finished a group read on LT. So far this is my favorite Cotton Malone book. I enjoyed all the Tudor history and also the reveal of Gary‘s father. I highly recommend this series to those who love historical fiction. An action-packed adventure with lots of interesting characters. Legitimacy of Elizabeth I 49 year old reign in called into question. Read this book to find out why!

Mollyanna Love Cotton! I have a few before I get to this one, but can‘t wait. (edited) 7y
EadieB @Mollyanna hope you enjoy it as much as I did. 7y
Andrew65 @EadieB @Mollyanna I love reading Cotton Malone books but this is the best so far, a great blend of history, intrigue and adventure. A fascinating backdrop to the story too. Read this book! 7y
EadieB @Andrew65 I agree! 7y
Mollyanna @andrew65 I‘ll have to start concentrating on the series to get to #8. 😄. Now I‘m really intrigued. 7y

Reading outside today! Savoring the 80 degree temperatures! Tomorrow will be high of 48 degrees and rain! Boo-hiss! Getting the rays while I can!

Andrew65 Thant‘s a big difference in temperature. 7y
EadieB I know - getting colder starting tomorrow. Past two days have been a Spring tease! 7y
EclecticBookLover I loved The King's Deception! Probably my favorite Steve Berry book. We've got similar weather here so I feel your pain 😔 7y

Finally managed to pick this book up from the library today 🍾 after visiting on Thursday to be told it‘s journey across town from the other library wasn‘t complete. As it was for a Group Read I am leading on starting today this was a close call. 😬🙈 Love Cotton Malone and Steve Berry and this one starts off on Henry VIII‘s death bed so will be interested to see where it goes. Now off to read the Prologue & Chapters 1 to 10 for the first section.

EadieB I like that cover or picture! 7y
Andrew65 @EadieB That‘s the cover on my book. 7y
EadieB Beautiful cover! Must be a new edition! Never seen that one! 7y

Andrew65 @EadieB Might be a U.K. cover, looks like a first edition published in 2013. 7y
EadieB @Andrew65 I having a hard time posting answers after letter g. Tried on my computer and iPhone. Both times the answer never posted so I suppose it must be a LT problem. (edited) 7y
Andrew65 @EadieB They seem to be having a few problems recently. 7y
EadieB @Andrew65 I think you are right. I‘ll wait til later or tomorrow and see what happens. 7y
rubyslippersreads This looks really interesting. 7y
Andrew65 @rubyslippersreads It is an interesting start so far. 7y

Reading with a group on LibraryThing! Come and join us sometime with Andrew, our Question Maker and moderator. We have great discussions.

bookishbunny I really need to sit down and take a better look at Library Thing. The couple of times I've glanced at it, it looked a bit overwhelmed and confusing. 7y
EadieB Every new site takes time but there are lots of nice people to help you. 7y
Andrew65 Well Librarything is still down, at least until tomorrow. This has prevented me putting on posts about group Reads. As I suggested earlier in the week am planning Frozen Stiff first with the questions for the Prologue and Chapters 1-11 being posted tomorrow night (Librarything allowing) and doing it over 4 days. Then start The King‘s Deception on Saturday as can‘t pick it up from the Library until Thursday at the earliest. (edited) 7y

Andrew65 Doing them so close together as conscious some people may already have The King‘s Deception Out from the library. 7y
EadieB @Andrew65 that‘s right I do remember about Frozen Stiff being First. I‘ll just add it to my TBR. Are you home already? 7y
Andrew65 @EadieB Yes got in about 50 minutes ago. Only had two very short breaks to stretch the legs (10 minutes) and have a quick drink. 7y
EadieB @Andrew65 How many kilometers or miles did you drive today? 7y
Andrew65 @EadieB Around about 250 miles, but always takes longer in the Motorhome. 7y
EadieB That‘s enough driving for one day. My beach house is 180 miles from my house and takes us 3 hours. 7y

Nearest book happens to be hubby's?"Gaining admission had been one of the highlights of her life." Wow, that sounds strangely accurate ?although not sure I'd use the term "highlight" ??

Lcsmcat Page 117 is a title page and says "Book 3: Top of the World". I'll take it. ? 7y
julesG What if the book nearest me doesn't have more than 200 pages? Does it mean I'm living on borrowed time? 😱😱😱 7y
julesG Oh. Page 117. I'm good. *wipes sweat off forehead* 7y

quietlycuriouskate "I went to the laboratory for pine needles and made a small smudgy bonfire of them in a glass bowl on the library table, then bent my head eagerly over the parchment and tried." Yeah, it figures! ? 7y
julesG @River_Voice Sounds like Flavia de Luce. 7y

Cinfhen I'm really enjoying these horoscopes @River_Voice @Smrloomis 7y
raeintheworld "'Call the National Guard!' screamed the Chief of Police." Captain Underpants was the closest book to me. 7y
riversong153 This is sooo accurate lol! "At this point in the book, you've taken stock of everything hanging in your closet." 7y
Cinfhen Ha! Captain Underpants always entertains @raeintheworld 7y
Nicholeet "The books were a welcome distraction." Ummm, yeah, that seems right??? 7y

This is what I do with my book a day calendar for three years running. I group them into books I've read, own but haven't read, and want to read. At the end of the year, I add the want to read books to my wish list. I keep the own and need to read pages for my "What do I want to read now?" moments.

Bookishaf Good idea! 8y
LiteraryinPA Great system! 8y
LitHousewife @Jaderyan21 @LiteraryinLititz Thanks! I have fun with it. I can also look through the stacks when I get bored at work. 8y
