It's been ages since I read an Elizabeth Chadwick novel, I think I was rationing myself and somehow just managed to stop reading them altogether. So last night I started reading The Champion.

I'm just about to start Try Not to Breathe by Holly Seddon, a book I've received to review. It's a contemporary psychological thriller.

- Preferred HF: I like a series the best - more to look forward to after one book ends. Masters of Rome, The Century Trilogy, & the Outlander series are some of my favorites.

Re: Happy new year! What are you reading in January 2016?
Just finished The Girl in the Spider's Web by David Lagercrantz which is a continuation of the Stieg Larsson Millennium series. It's been years since I read the first 3 books, but I think I like this 4th one better than the other 3!
Still plowing through Gutenberg's Apprentice by Alix Christie. It's a little slow going, but hopefully it will end with a bang

Into battle we ride with Gods by our side
We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!
