José Ignacio. – Thank you for that informative update. I’m so glad that you have the two Jack Irish mysteries coming up. Peter Temple is a very skilled writer and I think you’ll be very glad that you tried those novels. You have so many excellent books on your ‘doorstep’ list, too. I’m excited that you’re planning to read, especially, the Mina, the Cotterill, the Tursten and the Fossum – oh, and the Smith, too. I’ll be looking forward to your reviews.
Thank you very much Margot!
My one Spanish sale!Cheers ! Hope you enjoy the wolf!
I look forward to your wolf Paul!
You get plenty of Spanish sales…but some of us use the UK site to avoid paying a 2.50 bank charge
That’s more than the book!
I don’t pay any bank charge. You should check with your bank
Jose, some great books read and a lot to look forward to! Funny I bought 2 of the books you read this month during September myself – Ratlines and Norwegian by Night. Mackay I have borrowed from my library.
Happy reading in October!
Happy October readings to you too, Col. I’ll love to read what you have to say about Ratlines, Norwegian by Night and How a Gunman Says Goodbye.
Nice list and great picks, Jose. I hope to get to Norwegian by Night in the next year. I was a bit concerned about the elements related to dementia in the story, but I can tell from reviews that it will be a good read, regardless.
I like the additions of your planned reads and wishlist books also. I would put Then We Take Berlin, by John Lawton and I am Pilgrim on my wishlist too. Also the the first book in the series by Geoffrey McGeachin.
Tracy, Thank you for your visit and for taking your time to comment. I appreciate it..
