There’s nothing like a good book and a hot cuppa, feet up on a rainy day!
What are you reading at the moment?
Well I have just finished an Icelandic detective novel called « Snjór» by Ragnar Jónasson..not impressed..which I was reading at the same time as «The truth about Melody Browne» by Lisa Jewell..different but an easy read.
Now I will start on « The Immortalists» recommended by Good Housekeeping’s bookclub! 😉 Well I’m trying!!! 😃
Raining here at last.. feet up tea made reading James Patterson- the people vs Alex cross. Hard going but I'm sure will get better. I've read all alex cross books.jane
I’m reading The Trouble With Goats and Sheep by Joanna Cannon. It’s an easy read and quite funny but mostly I love it because of her descriptive writing. I also like ‘cosy crime’ novels such as the Cherringham series and the Falconer stories. I read a lot of sixteenth century history and am waiting for the latest Shardlake novel to make an appearance. So you can see that I mix it up a lot.

Thank you littlepom!! 😊 Adding it all to my list!!
Comfy Puss.😊 I like Phillipa Gregory. Usually. Just read her latest. Not up to scratch. Reading"Harry's last stand" fab. Social comment. Might re-read "the Handmaid's tale" having watched n enjoyed the recent series. Love getting lost in a book. 😉✌️🌻
I finished the second season of the Handmaid’s tale, I didn’t get the end..well I suppose it was to prepare for a third season.. still. Won’t say why in case I spoil it for someone but hard to swallow.
So do I..searching for that book which makes a difference nowadays. I feel I read a lot of rubbish..I like well written books, and a good story.
Harry's last stand's is by Harry Leslie Smith. He's big on Twitter. Just an ordinary old Army fella, whose concerned about how the Country is these days. Makes an interesting read. " The Handmaid's tale" series was harrowing, makes you think though. Book is better and a bit different. N yes, your right, no, Mark Twain's, Dickens, n J.R.R. Tolkien's, C.S.Lewis et. El. These days. 😊✌️🌻
I didn’t know you can find audiobooks on YouTube. It had never occurred to me to look there. Is it just audio or is there someone sitting there reading the book?
Right now I’m reading Benjamin Zephaniah’s autobiography. I read about 1/3 of it in one particularly sleepless night. Also I’m reading a book about astrophysics which is really interesting ✨
Just about to start on The Magpies by Mark Edwards love a good thriller. Usually have an hour with a kindle book In bed . Only trouble is the next night I have to rewind several pages as I obviously dropped off to sleep reading the night before and dozed through a few pages🤣🤣😴😴
I listen to audio books, love that I can listen while doing housework, in the car and when I go to bed, I put the timer on my book and bookmark, so if I fall asleep I know to just start from my bookmark. Currently listening to Confession by Jo Spain. Love physcological thrillers x
Hi Fran.I realise it's the day after book lovers day...but.better late than never ha.ha 😉. I love reading but haven't managed it for a while cos of this.dizziness.and headaches so a big.thank you Fran, Artist44 and Shirleyj for the audiobook suggestions! Had never thought of that before! I will definitely give them.a.go when I've time to kill in hospital or recovering 😊.
Thanks for an interesting.post, and I hope you're well ❤💞
Thank.you.honey it's opened up a whole new world.. Cant believe i didnt thibk of.it! I read everything and anything 😂😉 My alltime favourite book is The Time Travellers Wife. An acquired taste for some but I liked it 😊.
Yes I have.a.daughter who isn't sleeping at.the moment (no prizes.for guessing who 😉) and I did think.of it for her too...it'll keep her mind occupied and maybe.even keep her quiet so her sisters can sleep ha ha. Thank you 💕😙
I don’t suppose this is the place to be asking for technical advice. And I’m totally intruding on your conversation. But I’d like to ask for advice about Kindle. I currently have Kindle on my iPad, when I want to buy a book I go to Amazon and the book appears in the Kindle on my iPad. However, when I’m out and about I don’t tend to take my iPad so I thought of getting the Kindle app on my phone, which I haven’t done yet. Silly question alert: if I want to buy a book, or download a free book, to put on my phone, how do I do it so it goes on my phone and not my iPad?
I know I should just try it and see but I worry about these things, and the other day I bought a digital album on Amazon, I already have albums and singles on my Amazon music app, but the album never appeared there. I’m not sure if it was the wrong format or if it went to the wrong place, but I managed to get other stuff there so I don’t know what I did wrong that time.
Any advice would be gratefully received and much appreciated.
Sorry I have no idea! My daughter sets it all up for me. Usually she says type your question on google or utube and you will get all the explanations you need. It works.
Just seen this post. i read quite a lot. A book that I enjoyed, some time ago now, was The Crimson Petal and the White by Michael Faber. I passed it on to my daughter in law, she enjoyed it and passed it to her friend, who also liked it. Authors I like are Margaret Attwood, C.J.Sanson,Kate Atkinson, Sebastian Faulks, Anita Shreve.... At the moment I am readng A son of War by Melvyn Bragg.
