I will soon have finished Adrian Tchaikovsky - Children of Memory and have to go back to more books I have already read.
I have finished reading:
14: Sarah Maria Griffin- Spare And Found Parts.
Now reading:
14: The Forth Road Bridge - The Official Story (Published by the Forth Road Bridge Joint Board).
It was given to me recently by a elderly engineer friend as something I might find interesting as a bit of history.
I have finished reading:
14: The Forth Road Bridge - The Official Story.
Interesting booklet, first half was about the building of the bridge, the second half was more tourist information about that area of Scotland.
Now reading:
15: Becky Chambers - Record Of A Spaceborn Few.
I have read the Wayfarer series so many times now!
I am still reading:
28: Helen Czerski - Blue Machine.
It is a wonderful book and well worth reading.
I have finished reading:
26: F.B. Whitehouse - Narrow Gauge Album.
It is an interesting write up of a young man's visits to many of the narrow gauge railways in England, Wales and Ireland. Printed in 1957 I was thinking it is about 50 years old now. Dammit, 66 years old!
I have just started reading:
29: Kate Mascarenhas - Hokey Pokey
I have finished reading:
28: Helen Czerski - Blue Machine.
An excellent book, not too much hard science (unless you want to go through the references), And even if you think you know about the oceans, there are many more details and, more importantly, connectons to learn about. Fascinating, and worrying, just how much effect human activity has had on the 'Blue Machine'. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. @helenczerski
I am still reading:
29: Kate Mascarenhas - Hokey Pokey
Fed up with reading:
30: Kevin Robertson - The Leader Locomotive, Bulleid's Great Experiment (revised edition).
Overly repetitious of detail and a lot of 'He said...', 'He might have said...', 'He might not have said...', 'Someone might have thought he said...' anecdotes.
It is very tedious, and I might just jump ahead to find out about the actual locomotive itself.
Even some of the photo captions are like someone using Alt Text to add information because they ran out of character count!
I have finished reading:
29: Kate Mascarenhas - Hokey Pokey.
Interesting twist to the story that reveals in steps. I could quite happily read more of it.
Still reading:
30: Kevin Robertson - The Leader Locomotive, Bulleid's Great Experiment (revised edition).
But really just looking at the pictures and the captions to see if it gets interesting again.
Started reading:
31: Arthur C Clarke and Michael Kube-McDowell - The Trigger.
Read it before but not for about 10 years.
I have finished reading:
31: Arthur C Clarke and Michael Kube-McDowell - The Trigger.
I have given up reading:
30: Kevin Robertson - The Leader Locomotive, Bulleid's Great Experiment (revised edition).
Now just looking at the pictures occasionally.
Started reading:
32: Stephen Baxter - Moonseed.
Found it in a charity shop and it looked interesting and has a major character called Alfred!
Also Venus gets blown up in the first chapter!

Ahh, I have an account there but I didn't bother getting into looking at how it worked. I am just happy tooting it here this year.
I was only doing it to see how much I read in a year and it is my book count since last Christmas.
I should have a proper look at Rambling Readers again.
