I was talking to the partner of one of my book group friends and it turns out that we share a love of Jasper Fforde books, also I learned that there is a new Thursday Next book coming out later this/next year, and both of these things prompted me to re-read books 1-7 in thisContinue reading “Thursday Nexts Books 1-7 – Jasper Fforde – 15.12.24”

Red Side Story (Audiobook) – Jasper Fforde – 09.02.24
I first read Jasper Fforde’s Shades of Grey years ago, and loved it. The much anticipated sequel was finally released at the start of February, and so I re-read Shades of Grey to refresh my memory, and I’m glad I did, because this book continues pretty seamlessly from the first and wouldn’t make much senseContinue reading “Red Side Story (Audiobook) – Jasper Fforde – 09.02.24”
Shades of Grey (AUDIOBOOK) – Jasper Fforde – 31.12.23
I first read this book in 2020 and have been eagerly awaiting the promised sequel since then. Now the next book is coming out in February (Woo!) so I gave this book another listen to refresh my memory and prepare for the exciting next instalment. The book is like a post apocalyptic Jeeves and Wooster (IContinue reading “Shades of Grey (AUDIOBOOK) – Jasper Fforde – 31.12.23”
The Great Troll War (The Last Dragonslayer Chronicles Book 4) – Jasper Fforde (AUDIOBOOK) – 20.09.21
In this installment of The Last Dragonslayer series, trolls are invading the ununited kingdoms and there is little hope for the survival of humans against their endless numbers and merciless killing. As is usual for Jasper FForde, there is a lot of humour as well as pathos and thought provoking stuff and wonderful character development.Continue reading “The Great Troll War (The Last Dragonslayer Chronicles Book 4) – Jasper Fforde (AUDIOBOOK) – 20.09.21”
The Song of the Quarkbeast (The Last Dragonslayer Book 2) Jasper FForde – 15.07.21 and The Eye of Zoltar (The Last Dragonslayer, Book 3) – Jasper Fforde – 18.07.21
I remember reading the first in the Last of The Dragonslayers series a while ago, and not being that impressed – I don’t know what got in to me, because I loved books two and three! I guess Jasper Fforde’s style can be a bit annoying if you’re not in the mood for it –Continue reading “The Song of the Quarkbeast (The Last Dragonslayer Book 2) Jasper FForde – 15.07.21 and The Eye of Zoltar (The Last Dragonslayer, Book 3) – Jasper Fforde – 18.07.21”
The Constant Rabbit – Jasper FForde – 09.07.20
I had recently re-read (actually listened to) Shades of Grey, which is fabulous, and so was really looking forward to this book. In many ways it’s similar to Shades of Grey, in that it’s satirical and political while still being humorous and light. Set in an alternate version of England, where in the 1960s anContinue reading “The Constant Rabbit – Jasper FForde – 09.07.20”
Shades Of Grey – Jasper FForde (AUDIOBOOK) – 05.06.20
I remember reading this book ages ago and really liking it, so when I saw it going cheep as an Audible audiobook I bought it. Set in a very controlled hierarchical society where most people have lost the ability to see much colour and one’s position in society is determined by how much of certainContinue reading “Shades Of Grey – Jasper FForde (AUDIOBOOK) – 05.06.20”
