I hardly ever read fiction or get time to read for fun, everything is always for uni, but this summer I'm determined to start making a dent in my to-read list! :biggrin:

First up is the new short story collection by Northern Irish writer, Jan Carson - 'Quickly, while they still have horses'. I loved her novel, Firestarters, so I'm super excited to make a start on it.

I also really love essay collections, so I'm going to try Loitering by Charles D'Ambrosio and I've been meaning to read a classic of creative nonfiction called The Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt, so I'll probably read that this summer too. :smile:

Hoping to read the entire Dune Chronicles by Frank Herbert this Summer and hopefully a few more! :biggrin:

My favourite genre would be either science-fiction or fantasy :woo:

And my favourite authors are Isaac Asimov, Holly Jackson and J.R.R. Tolkein :h:

Elly Griffiths series of novels about archaeologist Ruth Galloway in East Anglia -
Elly Griffiths - Book Series In Order
And her Brighton Mysteries are good for anyone into the 1950s or who lives in Brighton.

I have. It's definitely one of my favourite books. To be completely honest, it reignited my passion for reading. :yep:

I've got Dan McClellan's new one on the go at the minute, along with John Nemec's Brahmins and Kings, and JP Mallory's new book on Proto-Indo-European. I have 2 Caravaggio biogs that I need to get finished, and also some other new thing on Proto-Indo European which I've somehow lost in the house. Add to that about 8 things on Orthodoxy to satisfy a work curiosity, and there's a hefty list. I hopefully need to start writing soon, too. We'll see.

This summer I hope to try and read more variety of books as I tend to have a habit of reading the same genre- fantasy and sci-fi :yy:

I plan to begin with a young classic: The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. Acquired the book on a flea market and the summary of the plot is auspicious enough to try.

I just finished this great horror story called "We used to live here" It's about a couple which has a strange family visit their house, claiming they used to live there. It's incredible and I couldn't put it down
