Right you weird lot! I have a 12 hour night shift tonight and just noticed I have several unused audible credits.
Give me some book recommendations to keep me busy!
I love most genre’s, but my favourites are fantasy, sci-fi and historical fiction.
Keep me amused! MWAH! X |

"Historical fiction depending what era you like.... Philips Gregory for war of the rises / Tudor or Christian Jacq for Egyptian or Incas "
Christian Jacq is a good one! I’ve read one or two, but there are loads I’ve got on my wish list. X |

You’ll have read most of the usual Classics I’m sure. How about Tom Holt or Joe Abercrombie? |

Wilbur Smith does a lot of good historical fiction. He's done an ancient Egypt series, an Age of Sail series, as well as a Boer war era, WW1 era and up to modern times series, too! |

Brandon Sanderson’s Storm-light Archive ( 2 books out - third one later this holiday season ) and mistborn series.
If you’re in Fantasy - probably would have read Robert Jordan’s ( wheel of time already ) and Robin Hobbs Faarseer books.
But these ones are quite good for just regular fantasy reading and I forgot the latest
The Gentleman Bastards Chronicles by Scott lynch which comes highly recommended

Guessing you’ve already read them, but the hunger games trilogy is a great read. If you’re willing to add lots of humour to the sci fi mix then you can’t beat Terry Pratchett. |

I can see from your photos you enjoy classics...there's loads of classic audio books on iPlayer.
I'd recommend Frankenstein. Or Gullivers Travels - satirical, piss funny and very sexually explicit! |

"I just read Forget my Name. Bit different to my usual choice but was good. Also tattooist of auschwitz is a good book. "
Tattooist of Auschwitz is a great book
The Station series (6 books) by David Downing are a good read about a policeman in Germany following his life before, during and after the war |

"There has never been a time more apt than right now to read 1984 by George Orwell and shrink as you realise it’s all coming true. "
I read that in 1984 - wasn’t true at that time but I was intrigued by ‘Big Brother’ when it came out as I thought it would be a social experiment based on the concepts of the book. I was disappointed! |
