Finished Chloe Marr by A. A. Milne. I liked the book, but it's very much product of it's time, the way men and women act. Also, if you can get the literary and pop-culture (of that time) references, you'll enjoy it a lot more. As it is, even though I enjoyed reading it, when I wasn't reading it, I didn't feel too much like picking it up.
Read Jujitsu Kaisen Vol. 3. Continuing my 1 volume per month for JJK. Same as The Dresden Files. Don't want to finish all the published work and wait for new ones. So, once a month will keep me supplied for quite a while.
Read Meet the Maliks - Twin Detectives: The Cookie Culprit by Zanib Mian. Got it for my kid, felt a little bit like Diary of a Wimpy Kid, but more about muslim family and kids. Read it to see how it is, and I enjoyed it. It's first in the series though, the author has also written Planet Omar series, may try those for kid next.
Starting Death Masks by Jim Butcher.
What about all of you? What have all of you been reading and listening?
Arc Light by Eric Harry. I’m a big fan of cold war/WW3 novels and this one fits the bill. Most books in the genre kind of dance around nukes but Arc Light doesn’t hold back. The sense of dread i’ve gotten from this book has been awesome.
Don’t think I have read any cold war novels, unless one of the Tom Clany novel I read in my youth was about it and either I didn’t realize or have forgotten about it. I’ll check it out, any other recommendations on the topic/genre?
Red Storm Rising by Tom Clancy is probably the best known one. After Artemis Fowl which I re-read religiously as a teen, it’s my most re-visited book.
The kind of original one is The Third World War by Sir General John Hackett, which is interesting but not really a thriller.
Then there’s Team Yankee by Harold Coyle which is set in the world of Gen. Hackett’s book but from a U.S. armored cavalry team commanders perspective.
Larry Bond’s Cauldron differs from the usual NATO vs Warsaw Pact fare. Vortex and Red Phoenix by the same author are also great but not necessarily WW3 stories.
Thanks, will look them up!
