Bond. James Bond. Need I say more? Good prequel to the famous Ian Fleming spy series.

At the request of the Fleming estate, Horowitz wrote Forever and a Day to introduce us to 007 and the woman who explains why she orders martinis "shaken, not stirred."
A solid 4★. Link to my review

I think I have to read this , I read the original Ian Fleming's James Bond novels when I was in college and really liked them because of the pace, style and action and James Bond's vulnerability- which I saw nothing of in Moore's Bond. I checked your review and I have marked it as To read :)

Great, Rabiraj - hope you aren't disappointed. It seemed to have the same pace to me, but I'm not sure I remember them well enough now!

Short and sweet! Sweet price, that is. Author Gregg Hurwitz is giving readers Buy a Bullet FREE on Amazon! It's a self-contained story plus extracts from Book 1 of his popular Orphan X thriller series.

I knew some, but not all, of the Super Scientists: 40 inspiring icons featured in this attractively designed book of historical facts for kids (and ignorant people like me).

I will read anything by Helen Garner! Fiction, non-fiction, novels, stories. Honour and Other People's Children is a reissue of a pair of novellas, and true to form, I loved the first. 4.5★
Not the second, sadly. 3★

Besides the buddy reads, I'm currently reading Six of Crows for the first time!

[Aqsa, Dracarys!]

Currently reading The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender and The Call of Cthulhu. Loving the first, it's just magical. The writing has captured me completely. And liking the latter so far :)

Sounds like Milkman might not have been quite to your taste, right?

Why does Australia treat refugees on Manus almost as badly as POWs were treated on WW2's infamous Burma Railway? Inexcusable!
No Friend But the Mountains: Writing from Manus Prison by Iranian Kurd refugee Behrouz Boochani is already winning awards.

I'm reading An Absolutely Remarkable Thing! I had some other books on my tbr for this month after I finish it, but I'm not feeling them. Anyone have any recommendations? I think I want to read something cute and light for Valentine's Day!

I a reading "Survival Childbirth" as something different.

Try It Was Always You. I read it 2 months ago. It was sweet and light. Made me feel better. (It can be read as a standalone).

Sir Robert Carey is as dashing and daring as ever in A Surfeit of Guns, the third in P.F. Chisholm's fun series about the English and Scots battling and thieving in the border country in Elizabethan England. Love it!

Just Finished Vigilance.

This was a good read overall. Weird but interesting and engaging too.

My review for Vigilance-3.75 Stars. It could have been a 4 star so easily but a thing or two didn't sit well with me.

[Cyn]

I can't seem to read 1 book at a time, so I alternate between a few

Right now I'm reading The Subprimes and Song of the Current. I have been trying to get through my re-read of The Red Pyramid for what seems like years (I barely remember what happened in this one and I want to finish the series cuz I'm such a fan of all Rick Riordan's other works).

[Aqsa, Dracarys!]

@Cyn I alternate too, especially when a book is slow. If it's fast-paced, it's devoured rather quickly.

Oh yay! I've re-read pjo many times and have just finished a re-read of the series last month.

I wouldn't really recommend The kane chronicles. It's an average adventure with Egyptian mythology woven in, but what annoys me is how, when Carter and Sadie are telling the story, they interrupt each other

[Cyn]

That's a shame that only the first 3 books are translated :(

[PattyMacDotComma]

Sydney's famous Mardi Gras begins on Valentine's Day, so I thought I'd reintroduce this wonderful memoir by Chris Edwards, a man who started life as a determinedly reluctant little girl.
Balls: It Takes Some to Get Some is both fascinating and funny!

Reading 99 Percent Mine

It's sad to think this is needed.

Something Happened in Our Town: A Child's Story about Racial Injustice by Marianne Celano and others is a new children's picture book to read WITH them about cops shooting blacks, slave history, and intolerance of foreigners.

I really enjoyed both of these! This clever Czech detective has an appetite and wardrobe and disregard for protocol like Mick Herron's Jackson Lamb without the farts. Loved and understood (!) the Eastern European intrigue.

What is it about penguins that is so cute? This little Not-So-Brave Penguin surprises herself when her friend is lost. Another lovely Steve Smallman children's picture book.

I've always enjoyed Maggie O'Farrell's mysterious stories, but I'd never read her debut After You'd Gone until now. Glad I found it! Good book and well worth a read.

Finally, I've read a Bosch mystery, The Black Echo, the first of the popular series by Michael Connelly. In 1992, LA cops fought crime with payphones and state-of-the-art pagers and faxes. And guns. Always guns. Looks like I'm in for a long ride!
