After the deep but complicated book, reading something entertaining is even more exciting than it usually is. I’m now happy and quick like a puppy in an autumn forest.

Here are my entertaining books.

1. The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Umut praised The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo in her review, and once again it was a good decision to follow her recommendation.

The book is absolutely amazing! It’s such an interesting, attractive read. I keep thinking about it and I can’t wait to go back to reading it. (An update: You can now read my review of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo)

2. The Searcher by Simon Toyne

I’m enjoying how fast-paced The Searcher is, although it’s a bit confusing to be following so many characters especially when the protagonist is confused himself having lost all his memory. The reason I’ve started reading The Searcher is the following book.

3. The Boy Who Saw by Simon Toyne

My husband recently visited a country where books are sold even in pharmacies! Can you imagine that?! I can’t. He sent me a quick message with a photo of a book stall and told me I had five minutes to choose. After hasty googling I chose The Boy Who Saw.

It’s the second book in Solomon Creed series, so I started reading The Searcher first.

I hope I’ll wrap them all up before my treasures start arriving 

Have you read any of them? What did you think (spoiler-free speaking)?

I have not disappeared. Quite the contrary, I am present in the book world so much that you haven’t seen me here for three days. The three days felt like eons to me, though. I flashed through the universes, times and lives. I’m on my fourth book right now since the last time we talked.

Partially, that’s why I’m posting now. I’m embarking on a literary Livingstone journey. I’m starting to read a saga that’s set in Africa. It starts with Livingstone, and just as Africa was initially unknown to him, The Old Drift seems to be unknown to readers now. It hasn’t been discovered yet. The Old Drift is a book from the future. By the time it appears for the world, the northern hemisphere will be heading towards the middle of spring.

I can hardly find any traces of this book online. There are only two ratings on Goodreads and no reviews at all. There are no reviews or ratings on Amazon either, but there’s a cover. Let’s marvel at it for some time.

Isn’t it stunning?

That was the cover that attracted me first, and then it was the description. The book is immense not only by its size but by its ambition. It intends to tell a story about three generations of three different families starting from the year 1903.

I understand now why pioneers kept journals. It gives you the feeling of company. Hence, here is my post. I’m reaching out to your from the shores of the Zambezi river, showing you the fragments of where I am, and now I’m going back.

My review of the book will appear in spring, when the winter has passed, the warmth returns and you can order your copy.

Otherwise, see you soon in other posts.
