EadieB It is a great read! 4y

Andrew65 @EadieB One of the best ones. 4y

Andrew65 @EadieB There are some great books in there. 4y

Crazeedi You know, now I have to get online and read synopses and see which ones I've read and which ones I havent. I've read several over the years, I just dont remember,š™„ 4y

rwmg @Crazeedi I think we all have that problem, which is why it would be good if our stacks on Litsy were searchable. At the moment I rely on LT to check for that sort of thing, as I am sooooooo bad at remembering titles. 4y

Crazeedi @rwmg you and me both!! And I try to read synopses and think if it sounds familiar. I dont seem to use LT as much as I do litsy and GR 4y

MoonWitch94 Ohhh I LOVE his books! I will have to add this one. 5y

Andrew65 I‘m really enjoying this one, has a feel of Fall of Giants, book 1 in the Century Trilogy, about it and that is one of my favourite books. Love the review. @EadieB @Mdargusch @OrangeMooseReads @batsy @MoonWitch94 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 It does remind of the Century Trilogy! 5y

Started reading A Dangerous Fortune which I am reading along with @Tove_Reads @EadieB and @CoverToCoverGirl
Ken Follett really does know how to hook you in and tell a great story.
Others welcome to join us. We tend to read it at our own pace and discuss when we have all finished. Very informal. šš‘¨

EadieB @Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Just Finished!

Did we choose which book well read next? I have this one at home. Will pick up Ritual on Saturday.

Andrew65, EadieB

EadieB I‘m ready for whatever book you want to read! We can let Andrew pick when he gets home from work. @Andrew65 @Tove_Reads (edited) 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB I‘m home! I‘m good to go with A Dangerous Fortune tomorrow. @Tove_Reads (edited) 5y

Andrew65 Yey! Yey! Yey! One of my two libraries has just bought the ebook of The Last Girl. Imagine me doing the happy dance! https://vimeo.com/106468416 @Tove_Reads @EadieB So I need to read this within 21 days. 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 Nice dancing! Ok I‘m ready whenever you guys are! 5y

Andrew65 Saw this. Thought you both might be interested. https://www.bookbub.com/blog/ken-follett-book-recommendations @Tove_Reads @EadieB 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB I‘ve been practising my dancing. š‚ 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 We will have to read some of his suggestions. The Accident by Chris Pavone looks good! (edited) 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 I can tell that you have been practicing! Practice makes perfect! 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB I read and enjoyed Chris Pavone‘s first book, The Expats. I read that when we were reading books from countries around the world, a good one as a lot of the book took place in Luxembourg. @Tove_Reads

Tove_Reads @andrew65 @EadieB Haven‘t read any of his books. 5y

Tove_Reads @Andrew65 @EadieB I‘m now 121 pages in and yet again a totally different Follett. He really is the master of storytelling! 5y

EadieB @Tove_Reads Interesting fact: He also began writing fiction during evenings and weekends as a hobby. Later, he said he began writing books when he needed extra money to fix his car, and the publisher's advance a fellow journalist had been paid for a thriller was the sum required for the repairs. @Andrew65 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB Necessity is the mother of invention! 5y

Andrew65 I‘m doing it by audiobook so told I‘m 23.5% in page 143/608. Just at start of Chapter 4. Each of his books are just so different and he knows how to tell a good story. @Tove_Reads @EadieB 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 I‘m doing audio with book and I‘m on page 200. Enjoying this story. Love his characters! @Tove_Reads (edited) 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB š‘¸š‘¸š‘¸ Great progress. 5y

Tove_Reads @Andrew65 @EadieB I‘m done! 5y

Andrew65 @Tove_Reads With work I‘m still going. Will finish over the weekend. @EadieB (edited) 5y

Tove_Reads @Andrew65 @EadieB Thoughts? 5y

EadieB @Tove_Reads Mickey Miranda and Augusta Pilaster were definitely the nastiest characters! What did you think about them? @Andrew65 5y

Tove_Reads @EadieB Dbags! I think that‘s Follett as his best when he writes about people we really dislike. 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB Loved Mickey Miranda‘s ending! Was he stupid or what! Shame Augusta didn‘t fall over the side with him! What horrible people they both were and don‘t get me started on Nora. @Tove_Reads 5y

EadieB @andrew65 @Tove_reads Mickey‘s ending was great! How could I forget about Nora. She was so nasty to her children! 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 There‘s a German TV series made in 2016 for A Dangerous Fortune. I‘m watching and reading subtitles. @Tove_Reads 5y

Page turner with great characters and interesting plot. "Follett peeks into the naughty world of late Victorian merchant bankers. In 1866, tragedy strikes the exclusive Windfield School when a young student drowns in a mysterious accident. His death and its aftermath initiate a spiraling circle of treachery that will span three decades and entwine many lives." Entertaining level: ????? #Sha2017

Reading time. Kollet knows how to involve us, (almost) impossible to put the book down.

I have to admit I am really enjoying this intertwining of finance and historical fiction... May have something to do with having my CPA or masters in finance... Lol
