Good weekend for books.

Friday I went to a secondhand book shop with Petra and brought several books, some which will be bookcrossed once I have read them.

Last Saturday we went to Stratford upon Avon. We went to the Park and Ride Terminal and low and behold, I actually found a Bookcrossing book in the wild:

Ok, it is a kiddies book but who cares, I'm just very pleased to have found a book released into the wild. I am going to let the twins read it before re-releasing it.
On the Monday I dropped off 5 books at an official BookCrossing zone, Latte Heaven in Church Street Dunstable. Whilst I was there I bought some books from charity shops so I now have enough books to last me months but it won't stop me from buying more lol.

Deep Six by Mark Powell

Deep Six by Mark Powell

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I really loved this book. It was fast paced, exciting and extremely well researched.
Marks' writing and use of language has evolved ten fold since his first debut novel and the words flowed nicely.

It has 'Best Seller' written all over it and Mark has secured a place in among my favorite authors along with James Rollins, Clive Cussler,Dan Brown and Chris Kuzneski to name a few.

The content , Somali Pirates, also made it a fascinating read and the characters were well thought out.
I really would love to see McCabe continue on in a series of books......how about it Mark? :-)

I was very lucky to have been sent a copy by Mark via Goodreads :-)

I did enjoy this book. I thought the opening chapters were very slow to begin with and nearly stopped reading the book altogether. I am glad I didn't though as I would of missed a great story.

Lucky Jim by Kingsley Amis

I found this difficult to get into at first, but after a couple of chapters, I got into it.
I found Dixon likable and enjoyed that he seemed to like burying himself deeper and deeper into trouble.
