I used to do it quite a lot years ago. <br /><br />The BLCC series of books are excellent. I feel sure you would enjoy some of them at least... they do vary a little. <br /><br />Thankyou, so far August has been yet another interesting reading month. Just reading my first Wexford book by Ruth Rendall... excellent.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-26271065906114891342017-08-10T05:37:14.909+01:002017-08-10T05:37:14.909+01:00Hi Cath,

I wonder if you were to carry on linking books in this way, where it would eventually lead? - An interesting and intriguing notion!<br /><br />Me, I'll stick to the crime / mystery side of the reading equation. So many of you have mentioned the 'British Library Crime Classics' just recently, that I am determined to collect these as a series. I can appreciate and enjoy both modern crime writing styles, alongside the slightly more formulaic style and staid use of language of the classics.<br /><br />Thanks for a great couple of features and I hope that August's reading continues to throw up some new reading challenges for you :)<br /><br />YvonneYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-12733377619286250352017-08-09T10:27:49.977+01:002017-08-09T10:27:49.977+01:00Pat: I'm finding that this summer, more than n...Pat: I'm finding that this summer, more than normal one book is leading me to another and then another.

Oddly enough I've come across mention of Nancy Wake on Goodreads while investigating French war books. I shall add it to my WW2 list on there in a mo. Are you on Goodreads by the way? I'll also look into Dunkirk. There's such a wealth of literature on this subject.

Have you read Nancy Wake by Russell Braddon ? She was a member of SOE in France during WW2 and it is a riveting story. <br />I have just finished Dunkirk by Walter Lord..another really interesting read. I looked it out on belatedly realising that my Dad was almost certainly there.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03003915263556622215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-29357134901475401422017-08-06T12:31:01.887+01:002017-08-06T12:31:01.887+01:00It's so strange how one book peaks your intere...It's so strange how one book peaks your interest and leads to others about the same topic/ place etc. I am 3/4ths through a Susan Hill Mystery..
