Night Life by John Lewis Stempel

An excellent follow up to Night Walking and more of the same, which is not a bad thing.

Wonderful adventures in the dark and including different locations like the Lake District, coastal Wales and along the Thames.

It does inspire one to want to go for night walks and see a different side to British nature we miss out on because the wonders come alive when we are tucked up in bed, and there is more to nocturnal wildlife than owls and badgers.

Its Been a While

It has been a while since I posted on here, I did plan to post regularly but it slipped my mind to post and then weeks turn into months.

From here on out I will try to write a bit more regularly and update my progress on the books I am reading.

As of now it is the 9th June 2020 and I have read 43 books so far this year. Currently I have several books on the go. The one I’m concentrating on is To Catch a King by Charles Spencer.

I have read some personal favouritesthis year and started series I am looking forward to going further in. A couple of note are:

  • The Colder Summer by Gianrico Carafilgio
  • The Second Sleep by Robert Harris
  • The Wood by John Lewis Stempel
  • Still Water by John Lewis Stempel
  • The Mask of Dimitrios by Eric Ambler
  • The Hollow Man by John Dickson Carr
  • Butchers Crossing by John Williams
  • Killers of The King by Charles Spencer
  • The Crocodile by Maurizio de Giovanni
  • Stoner by John Williams

As ever I am ploughing on with reading the Maigret series of books by Georges Simenon, currently I have read 49 and perhaps I might finish the series this calendar year. It will be a big ask but possibly achieveable. I did just read my favourite of the series so far: Maigret Sets A Trap.
