Is it good? I have yet to read the first one, but will check out the second book if I like the first. But I love the film! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumper8 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Just about to read "Apollo Pilot" the memoir of Apollo 7 astronaut Donn Eisele. It's a slim volume, but I'm reliably informed his blunt views make most of the other astronaut autobiographies "look like kids' books". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd recommend reading the first book as it varies quite a bit with the ending if you're gonna read them all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumper8 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Just finished "Airborne" by Robert Radcliffe. Exciting WW2 adventure, first in a trilogy. The next instalment "Freefall" is due for release in the next few weeks-looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony1975 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I am currently reading Final Girls by Riley Sagar. If you are into slasher horror films then I would recommend giving it a go. The story is based around three girls who were the only survivors of separate killing sprees. I am about half way through it and really enjoying it!

Bumper8 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 While I'm waiting for Freefall I'll be reading "He". An imagining of my comedy hero Stan Laurel's life by John Connolly. A bit hesitant tbh 'cos I know it won't be all sweetness and light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EllaBlair Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Listening to Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on audio book. I've been struggling to focus on books recently but I'm making my way through a book called Jane Doe by Victoria Helen Stone. I'm enjoying it but I just don't have the time to read at the moment.

Haven't gotten much farther in Artemis since I posted. Always mean to get a bit done in bed at night but finding I've wasted too much time and rather go to sleep than stay up. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumper8 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 "D Day Through German Eyes-The Hidden Story of June 6th 1944" This book is based on the accounts of German soldiers from various units who were interviewed in 1955. Recurring themes are the tension of the days before the invasion, the shock at the scale of the attack and the horrors of battle. It gave me a greater understanding of the motivation of the ordinary Wehrmacht soldier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumper8 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 "Pursuit" by Gene Hackman. The main reason I got this was for the signature but it turned out to be a very good detective thriller. All his own work too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumper8 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 "Planet of the Spiders" (Terrance Dicks) Was feeling nostalgic for the old Target Doctor Who books so I picked up a couple on ebay. The prologue features Jo Grant and her hubby in the Amazon jungle which is a nice touch. I'll go back to grown-up books after this guilty pleasure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumper8 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I'm half-way through "Paul McCartney-The Biography" by Philip Norman. A very good read. Fun fact-at school he sat at the very same desk that Arthur Askey used years previously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
