What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Been finishing off the Invasion - Downfall series by DC Alden

A hypothetical scenario where the islamic state invades Europe and the UK

Brilliantly written nonstop action thriller, it starts with a bang and never lets up.

I wondered why I never heard of it, then I read the comments on Goodreads from all the people who don’t know what fiction is 😂😂

Finished off “The Dark” by Jeremy Robinson and since have been burning through the audio book adaptation of “Solo Leveling” by Chugong.

Coming towards the end of book 5 now and I can’t stop listening, I was gonna go back to Deathlands for a break but I may just carry on with Solo Leveling for a while instead!

Is this narration of original light novel, or a modified script made specially for audio book?

Based solely on the credits I believe it is just a narration of a translation of the novel as there are no mentions or credits in terms of adaptation only of original translation.

Waiting for Elizondo’s book “Imminent” to be available for order. Should be cool.

The Cloven by Brian Catling

It’s the third book in a trilogy set in and around a darkly fantastical forest in central Africa, roughly based on the Congo Basin. I’ve been enjoying the trilogy, but I’m only two chapters into this book, so can’t say anything definitive about it yet.

“All the Knowledge in the World: The Extraordinary History of the Encyclopedia” by Simon Garfield

I’m in enjoying it a lot! I think the author has found a good balance of keeping it interesting while still informative. I’d recommend it to anybody interested in encyclopedias.
