Just got 'Rewild your mind' by Nick Goldsmith – absolutely brilliant. He's a good storyteller, and natural teacher. If you're not familiar with his youtube channel, he's an ex-Royal Marine Commando, and after serving several tours, he set up a bushcraft centre, which as he says, has literally saved his life because of complex PTSD.

I've almost finished 'The English Monster' by Lloyd Shephard. A rivetting read.
"London, 1811: The twisting streets of Wapping hold many an untold sin. Bounded by the Ratcliffe Highway to the north and the Dock to the south, shameful secrets are largely hidden by the noise of Trade. But two families have fallen victim to foul murder, and a terrified populace calls for justice.
Based on the real-life story of the gruesome Ratcliffe Highway murders, The English Monster takes us on a voyage across centuries."

I'm afraid I get rare an opportunity to read nowadays but I'm rattling through audiobooks on my commute.
I've just started the last in Stephen King's The Dark Tower series.
Part of me didn't want to start the last book because then the adventure would be over.

Only part way through! Author has an easy style of writing. Each chapter has a particular theme and Ray looks at which species of tree are best for a particular role such as: fire, food, weapons and fibre etc. Book only available in hardback and Kindle version. A paperback version will be released in due course.Oh, I have a birthday coming up and was thinking of hinting to my other half this would be a very welcome addition to the shelf.

"Never" by Ken Follet, about political unrest and the potential to world war three!
Sounds like my sort of thing!
Hardback is fine, as it'll stay out home. I have enough in the pack to take out anyway...
That book has got 'ME' written all over it. Definitely one for the list.
Ray has a nice easy style to read, and this is another book I know I'll love to read. That's also made it on the list.
I struggle reading Gooley's stuff - I just don't seem to get on with his tone and style. But this also sounds like a cracking read and another one that's been written for me. One to browse for in Waterstones, but I'll almost certainly end up buying it and then dread reading.
I've just finished 'Everlast' by Rebecca Hunt.
It's a fictional account of an antarctic exploration with two timelines set 100 years apart. It's a simple narrative and read that will get you absolutely gripped. It's the kind of book that's waiting to be added to an English Literature syllabus on truth, representation, and post-modernism. But you don't have to read it like that at all, it can read for it's own enjoyment and as a good story in its own right.
