I haven’t been to the Library in a long time. Before COVID to be exact. It’s so easy now to get books online, that going to the library isn’t necessary. Yet, there’s something about a nice hardcover book in my hands that makes reading that much more enjoyable. Sit by the window, no straining with the eyes.
The other day I walked passed a library. I decided to go in. I forgot how nice it is to look at the section for NEW books that “just arrived.” I was so happy! All sorts of unknown book titles. Before I knew it, I had been in the library almost 2 hours. Amazing, I was a little kid, opening one book after another.
It’s also interesting to see what books people return. Look at this, I found a Jeffrey Archer book. I used to read him all the time. Then moved on, but I really enjoy his writing style.
I can’t give a review of the book yet. I’ll admit that the story line does not seem NEW so far. Seems like a plot that’s been out there already. I’m hoping for some MAJOR twists and turns, so I am not left yawning and skimming versus reading to get to the end.
PLEASE, Mr. Archer, SURPRISE ME!
Off to make a pot of tea!
We’re on the same page with Archer. I haven’t read one of his stories in a while and I think it’s time again. His writing is so good, and I hope the one you chose is of the same caliber as his older stories. My favorites will always be the Clifton Chronicles (those ten or so books) and Prisoner of Birth, which read very much like Count of Monte Cristo. Hurry up and finish this one so I know if I should read it! 🙂

My favourite has always been Kane and Abel, and the Clifton chronicles a close second. Archer has everything a good storyteller should have!
