Nothing like I was expecting but it's good so far.
“In The 48 Laws of Power, Robert Greene asserts that whether you like it or not, you're part of a never-ending game of power. You're either striving for and wielding power, or you're a pawn being played by someone more powerful than you. You choose your role.” 👑

If anyone's read it, I'd be curious to hear opinions on Richard Osman's Thursday Night Murder Club.
I don't read a lot of murder mysteries, although I did spend a lot of 2023 listening to Jo Nesbø audiobooks.
Fell in love with the second movie so I knew I had to start reading the franchise. 3/4 of the way through and ready to read the second one.
I'm trying to read Undoing Depression because a lot of people online said it changed their lives, but after getting about 30% through I kind of got stuck. I need to get back to it, but I have started to view it as a chore.
I'm currently reading (audiobooks because I listen while I drive) to a book series called Monster Hunter International. I'm absolutely in love with it! There are all sorts of monsters including werewolves and vampires as to be expected and even has Frankenstein's Monster! It's based in modern times and has over 7 books in the series! I'd say my favorite part is when the main character gets in a fight with gnomes, it's really funny to me xD
Had to at some point really.
@JohnR1972 That looks really good; right down my alley for reading.
Three for Midnight by Philip MacDonald.
My next one will be: Space Race by Deborah Cadbury. (Was sent to me, looks interesting.)
I’ve started reading Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro, Really enjoy the slow unfolding of his world building.

A Demon hunter who has a talking monkey. Because why not?
CHAOS: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties
The Lies of Locke Lamora- it’s a fantasy novel about a lovable con man/ thief in a Venice-like setting. It’s so good.
Waiting by Ha Jin to be followed by Snow Falling on Cedars by David Guterson. I read these two before having my first child and am wondering if they will feel the same after 20 years.
