Quote of the day:
Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.
-Mark Twain
My first book for the month of August is by a familiar author -one which I read throughout July. He is a great story teller, certainly one of the best. The book is part two of a seven series chronicle. The first in the chronicle, A Time To Tell by Jeffrey Archer was a wonderful read. I have decided to continue with the series and this second instalment is titled 'The Sins of the Father'.

The story continues from where the first part finishes -the ongoing story of Harry Clifton, and his attempt to escape the unforeseen consequences of a family scandal.
This is another page turner by Archer, and it definitely is an intriguing read so far.
What are you reading at the moment?
Peace and Love.

A page turner is always a good thing, as is when the sequel is good.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading "The brethren" by John Grisham
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the Mark Twain quote.
ReplyDeleteInterestingly, right now for fiction I am rereading Mark Twain (Tom Sawyer and Roughing It). For non-fiction, I am reading a "Mark Twain and Orion Clemens: Brothers, Partners, Strangers" and N. T. Wright's "Surprised by Scripture" (I am also teaching a class on Twain's Western Years)
ReplyDeleteThis is indeed a very good series. I just finished the first one and I hope to be starting on this one soon. I just need to get my hands on a copy; perhaps check the local library.
ReplyDeleteI am currently finishing Whiskey Beach..it has everything I need in a page turner..
ReplyDeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteHiya Blogoratti **waves** have a great week.
Oh so you continued your ride with Harry Clifton...happy reading.
ReplyDeleteAnd welcome to the fab month of August!
I've just discovered the "Constable Evans" series about a Welsh village policeman. They're gentle - in so far as murder mysteries can be!
ReplyDeleteI've not read anything by that author. Did they make a movie based on that book?
ReplyDeleteI love Jeffrey Archer's books :-)
ReplyDeleteYesterday, I read a couple of poems by Ezra Pound. I vaguely remember reading Jeffrey Archer's 'Cain and Abel' one time. His own story must be something of a page turner too, if such a book exists.
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting....Christine
ReplyDeleteGreat quote! Thanks for sharing the book review. Happy Monday, have a great new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteu seem to love Jeffery Archer's works?
ReplyDeleteHILARIOUS SIGNPOST OF CHURCHES
"The House At The End of Hope Street"... Magical, whimsical, but with suffering. Of course! How to have an intriguing plot, with only lightness and magical? Nope. Need suffering.
ReplyDeleteBut still, I know, all will work out, in the end. :-)))))) Even 50 pages, from the end.
Wising you some whimsey and magic, in your week,
Tessa
I am tempted to pick up one of his books again, may be for my up coming trip :-) I am currently reading "The house girl" by Tara Conklin.
ReplyDeleteI have not read any of Jeffrey's book. Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteHave read one of Jeffrey Archer 's book way back. He is one great author.. Am interested in this story..
ReplyDeleteWww.trendwithgloria.blogspot.com
Sounds like a great book.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. ☺
Believe it or not in the past week I have read "To Kill a Mockingbird", and now "Peyton Place. The place where we are staying had these two on a shelf, and I can't remember ever reading these classics.
ReplyDeleteSeries are great, aren't they - as long as you still have something to look forward to :-)
ReplyDeleteMy current reads are two works of non-fiction: Phoenician History on my kindle, and "Does Anything Eat Wasps?" as a physical book.
Enjoy the series!
ReplyDeleteThis is a new author for me, but it sounds quite interesting. I'm reading American Gods, by Neil Gaiman. It's amazing :)
ReplyDeleteHello Ramona, I have finished another Neil Gaiman last weekend and reviewed it on my blog. "American Gods" I have read some years ago and found it amazing, too.
DeleteI have heard this is good!

I'm not reading anything at the moment... this author looks good... I'm going to have to look them up. I like that there is a series :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, Jeffrey Archer writes some good page turners. A seven part series sounds great, I love when you can read straight through a series.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading an old book by John Creasey, one of the Baron series, and these are real page turners too.

Definitely sounds like a page turner. Let us know how you like it? I'm not reading anything at the moment. I need to find a good book this month.
ReplyDeleteLove it when you find a good series and the next book is out. I'm reading "A Sorceress of His Own" and "The Undying Legion". Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to find a series that draws you in! I'm reading "The Truth" still, sadly I haven't had much opportunity for reading lately.
ReplyDeleteI am familiar with the name of this author but i don't remember ever reading anything by him. I have decided to take part in Austen in August this month and read 7 of her novels....we shall see how far I get.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds interesting!!!!
ReplyDeleteKisses, Paola.

I've never read anything by Jeffrey Archer, but I DO love a good page turner!
ReplyDeleteI am reading, "Emotions - Freedom from Anger, Jealousy and Fear", by Osho.
ReplyDeleteHave a Great Week!
Peace :)
I love that quote from Mark Twain. Very wonderful. I see you're continuing on with Jeffrey Archer's work. Isn't he a good writer? I'm catching up with a few Catherine Coulter FBI thrillers that she wrote in 2014. As usual, I'm behind. Hope all is well. Hugs...Ro
ReplyDeleteI am reading a book about the family of Anne Frank. It has many photos and is quite a fascinating book. :)

ReplyDeleteI like the cover, and I'm glad it's a good one.
ReplyDeleteI prefer non-fiction, and I'm working my way through several bloggers' books now (Missing Link by Brandon Meyers and Bryan Pedas; Profanity Granny by Pat Hatt - can't wait to read that one; Vanessa's Morgan's Avalon...)
Be well, Blogoratti.
the good life.
ReplyDeletea great quote

I love reading too but African authors majorly probably cause i sort of relate to their stories more. Think so.
ReplyDeleteI nominated you for the Versatile Blog Award.
Seems a amazing book!

Hello again...it's time that I visited one of my favorite blogs again :)
ReplyDeleteI love cottages because I live in one and have another one room cottage that is mine alone that my hubby and son built for me.
Well, anyway I am just beginning a book that I found at Goodwill...a favorite thrift store of mine where I buy many of my books. The title is "The Magic Cottage" by James Herbert. Some of the reviews are:
"A spellbinding tale of mystery and happenings."
-South Wales Evening Post
"A modern story of horror and magic...will chill your nerves."
-Guernsey Evening press
I cannot wait to get started reading...have a great day and happy reading to all~

I've not read anything by him. He has a mixed reputation in the UK, but I don't think that's to do with his writing. My wife says his books are excellent!
ReplyDeleteSuch an amazing post! Have a wonderful Wednesday dear. :)
ReplyDeletePs; Help me win the Zalora Blogger Challenge. Details are on my latest post.

At the moment I'm reading GONE GIRL by Gillian Flynn. I saw the movie Gone Girl on the plane coming back from UK a couple of weeks ago, but missed so much of it.... due to tiny screen, interruptions, crackly headphones, uncomfortable seat, loud engine noise.... so I decided to read the book. It's quite a page turner!
ReplyDeleteThis goes directly to my reading list. Thank you for sharing! :) Currently I'm reading The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafón.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day!
This sounds great! I love it when I find an author that writes stories that I love! Happy Reading :)

One I recently finished that I'd recommend is "Boys in the Boat - Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics" by Daniel James Brown.
