The Black Widow | 
pickFinally! I finished a book and thankfully, but not surprisingly, it was a good one. I love Daniel Silva‘s Gabriel Allon series and this, the sixteenth book, did not disappoint. It kept me on the edge of my seat and it‘s a testament to what an emotionally exhausting couple of weeks it has been that it took me so long to finish. I wanted to read nonstop to race to the end. If you like thrillers, you should try this series!
Yes. Yes I am hiding from the world, in my closet, trying to finish this book. I don‘t have the energy to build my blanket cave, so the newly cleared out closet will have to suffice. 🤷🏻♀️
This year. Every time I think I‘ve had the worst possible week, the next week says “hold my beer”. This has been a hellish week and I am exhausted. I don‘t even want to read and I love Daniel Silva, but I also don‘t want to break my streak, so I am going to read a chapter and then try to sleep. Is it 2021, yet?
I‘ve decided to bail on the ebook I was sent for review (I bought a finished copy out of guilt and may come back to the story at a later date, it‘s just not working for me now) & since it is still March, I‘m picking up the 16th Gabriel Allon novel. I‘m much happier with this reading choice. 😍
pickAnother fun spy thriller experience with Silva‘s Gabriel Allon!
pickAnother exciting adventure with Gabriel 👍🏻
Twists, turns and lots of dead bodies!
Best not to think this is going on everyday!
Train reading this morning. On way to London for a meeting, which had to be moved as was originally in Whitehall and ended up inside the police cordon for today‘s protests!
Have a good day book friends 😁
Reading has been done tonight!! I have done revision cards for 3.5 hours with my daughter on sociological theories of religion and the family...my brain is very tired.
Going to start tagged book tomorrow as have train travel.
Have abandoned Sympathy for now Cindy, hibernation until you‘re ready....it‘s definitely a concentrate book.....
so-soThought it would turn out to be one of the greatest thrillers I have read, unfortunately, I was let down half of through. Mind it, it was not bad by any means, but it could have been lot better. Idea was great, fluidity was good.
They said, "Sleep when the baby sleeps."
But I chose to read because the book was oh-so-gripping! #booksnbabies #febfavourites

A page-turner. Kept me hooked till the end.

so-soI love Silva's books. And this series has always been exceptional. However, this is not as good as the previous Gabriel Allon works. Up until the last hundred pages or so, it's boring. I loved the last part of the novel, as it was fast-paced, exciting, and so on. But it took too long to get there.
pickSilva knows how to build tension and hold the reader at the edge of their seat for most of a novel. If you are looking for good espionage fiction, it doesn't get much better than this -- but you should start at the beginning of the series to appreciate the way it weaves together.
I'm OBSESSED with Gabriel Allon, smoldering spy, sexy art restorer, selfless husband and all around Hottie ❤️Daniel Silva has created my favorite spy thriller series! This past summer I heard Mr. Silva speak, he was funny, charming, honest and open. He shared an inside scoop, that he was currently in talks with Netflix to produce a Gabriel Allon series based on his novels😁Above are a few of my choices to play Gabriel💕💕💕 #BelovedCharacter
pickOooooh! This was so good. Had a feel similar to the Homeland series. Also, I love the direction that the overarching story line is taking!!! This fab series is still going strong
pickJust finished! Excellent addition to the series. Allon and his band of spies continue to capture my imagination and keep me on the edge of my seat.

My current favorite spy novel series is the Gabriel Allon series by Daniel Silva. The Black Widow is the most recent installment released this year.
#photoadaynov16 #spynovels Im TOTALLY OBSESSED with The Gabriel Allon spy series❤️❤️❤️ He's sexy, sensitive, bright, brave, dedicated and a world renowned art restorer❣️and he can smite the evilest men in the world 😉I had an opportunity to hear Daniel Silvia speak this summer and he said he was in talks with Netflix to create a Gabriel Allon series for them😀😀😀
I haven't read any of his books, but I loved his response to the NYT Book Review's weekly question: You're organizing a literary dinner party. Which 3 writers, dead or alive, do you invite? Silva says, "Gore Vidal and Norman Mailer, with William F. Buckley to serve as referee. I think I would set the table with paper plates and plastic utensils to avoid any undue bloodshed." I think they still would have found a way to hurt each other!
I can't even tell you how excited I am to start this book! Daniel Silva and the Gabriel Allon series are that good!
#TBRTuesday My current on-deck stack. Can't wait to crack open one of these tonight!
pickAn Israeli woman is recruited to penetrate the ISIS network in order to stop a terrorist attack. Smart, timely, thrilling and easy to read...author has important things to say about the rise of extremism. The latest in the Gabriel Allon spy thrillers...give it a go, esp if you like this genre.
pickOMG! A MUST READ for Daniel Silva fans😍A MUST READ for non Daniel Silva fans!!! This book is ripped right from the headlines🚔📺📰so relevant. Fast paced, exhilarating and totally satisfying! Couldn't wait to see how it would end but so sad when it was over. Definitely a summer win👍🏻
Crushing on Gabriel Allon! Scary to think Daniel Silva "imagined" the horrors and capabilities of ISIS before any attacks in the West had even occurred!
#24in48 One of my favorite series is the Gabriel Allon books by Daniel Silva. I've not been disappointed by one of his books yet. Simply a fantastic series. Unfortunately, you can't see my entire collection of the series as it is currently packed away as I prepare for an upcoming move.
