October 2020 Reading Rabbits 🐇📖

Calling All Readers!

This is our October 2020 Reading Rabbits Book Posting. You can post your comments and suggestions about any book/magazine/newspaper that does/doesn't have to do with any medical issues on this posting. You can mention about your favorite authors, as well. This posting will be pinned to the Pinned Posts for easier access.

Here’s an update as of last night before going to bed. I’m currently on page 348 of “The Sea Is My Brother: The Lost Novel”. It’s where Jack is sending a letter to Sebastian in reply to a poem/letter that Sebastian had sent to him a few days before. The poem that Sebastian had done was 12-15 parts long and each verse was short. He had turned his poem into a letter by giving the Dear Jack part of the letter the name/title for the poem. I personally think that’s a great idea to have been done in any book/story. This is the first time I had seen something like that being done.

When I finish the “The Sea Is My Brother: The Lost Novel”, I plan to start reading “The Chef”, by James Patterson.

Okay, now to you! What has everyone been reading or plan to start reading for this month? Can’t wait to hear all about it.

Hi. I've just finished "Home Truths" by Tina Seskis. It was a good tale, with a few surprising twists. Just about to start "Girl Gone Mad" by Avery Bishop. I'll report back. 📚

I haven't read these, would like to hear how they go always looking for recommendations.

Reading World without End by Ken Follett. Second book of the Kingsbridge series. A great storyteller. Next will probably be the new S J Parris book.

Activity2004• in reply toNimrod25 years ago

How far did you get in “World without End”? Hope you enjoy it!😀👍🌈📖🐇

Nimrod2• in reply toActivity20045 years ago

Got about 300 pages left. It is 1200 plus pages long. Have read the first and third books in the series too. Really good reads.

Activity2004• in reply toNimrod25 years ago

The length of the book sounds like a Stephen King book I own ( The Stand).😀👍🌈

I hope you enjoy the books!😀👍🌈🐇📖

Hi I have recently read 'We need to talk about Kevin'. This is done in a series of letters from the wife to her husband about their son Kevin. It is mind blowing and completely different to any book I have read before and I've read voraciously all my life. I thoroughly recommend it.

Activity2004• in reply tohypercat545 years ago

This sounds interesting! I will have to Google it soon.😀👍🌈 Enjoy! 😀👍🌈📖🐇

Nimrod2• in reply tohypercat545 years ago

I have read it twice and it surprises every time. One of my favourites.

Florence_• in reply tohypercat545 years ago

I read this too! I found it chilling and rivetting, I also enjoyed how it was written (through the letters).

I picked up a great book today to read this weekend.

Activity2004• in reply tothara96435 years ago

Fantastic! What's the title of the book you got for this weekend coming up?

thara9643• in reply toActivity20045 years ago

One summer in Italy

Activity2004• in reply tothara96435 years ago

That sounds like a great one for a weekend read! How long is it? Romance?

thara9643• in reply toActivity20045 years ago

Not sure, let me read it first

Activity2004• in reply tothara96435 years ago

Sounds good!😀👍🌈

Yesterday I started a book called until we meet again by Margaret Thornton that I bought in Chepstow a couple of weeks ago and its set in the first world war in the gorgeous English seaside town of Scarborough.

Activity2004• in reply to5 years ago

That’s great! I can’t wait to hear about it more very soon.😀👍🌈📖🐇

The book I have at the moment Dan Brown "Inferno" it is interesting but confusing, I am trying to finish it, if only to find out who survives.

Activity2004• in reply tosan_ray704 years ago

Take your time. If it’s confusing, take a break and come back to it later. I learned that I had to do this with a few other books I had read a few years ago. It helps sometimes.😀👍🌈

Florence_• in reply to5 years ago

I'm interested in books during the war, could you let me know how you get on with this and whether it's an 'easy' or a 'heavy' read?

• in reply toFlorence_4 years ago

It's quite a light read and it's based in Scarborough and it's part of a family saga series and I finished it this morning and I really enjoyed it.

Activity2004• in reply to4 years ago

That’s fantastic news!😀👍🌈

I’m starting chapter 20 of “The Chef” this afternoon. Really good and extremely addictive! I can’t wait to try the recipes in the book.😀👍🌈🐇📖

Florence_• in reply to4 years ago

Ooo nice one I might have to take a look! Thanks x

thara96435 years ago

Can you recommend any books on costume making please? Thanks.

Activity2004• in reply tothara96435 years ago

I will have to see if I can search the internet and see what I can find.

thara9643• in reply toActivity20045 years ago

Thanks

Do you have a Kindle for reading books?

What a great thread I've just started Michelle Obama's 'Becoming'. I've got it as an audiobook. I'm a slow reader and get tired after a short time reading. I find I abSorb books much faster by listening than by reading. Plus, I love 'hearing' the story, hearing the intonation and the emphasis in the words. It's also a bonus when it's read by the author! Anyone else prefer audiobooks over paperbooks?

Activity2004• in reply toFlorence_5 years ago

Thank you for sharing this with us. I don’t have a tape/CD player at the moment, but I will have to see if I can find one that isn’t being used. This is a great alternative for certain books.😀👍🌈

Florence_• in reply toActivity20045 years ago

I don't use a tape or cd player, I download them from audible. Once you've downloaded it, you can listen on your computer, your phone, or transfer the file to an ipod or other MP3 player so you could listen while you're out walking or in the car

Activity2004• in reply toFlorence_5 years ago

Sounds good!

Activity20045 years ago

Last night, I had finished reading The Sea Is My Brother: The Lost Novel before going to bed. Very good, but sad at the end.

Next book: The Chef is going to be started today. More news on it coming soon.😀👍🐇📖🌈

Florence_• in reply toActivity20045 years ago

The sea is my brother, what a curious name. What was it about? Great to hear it was a good read! Fx

Activity2004• in reply toFlorence_5 years ago

It had some poems/stories and how Jack Kerouac grew up. The ending was a little sad, but a great book about a person's life and their friendships they made on the way.

Right now, I'm starting Chapter 10 of "The Chef", by James Patterson. It's a great book so far and it has some recipes in the book for anyone to use and try. It takes place in a fake city in New Orleans.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

Florence_• in reply toActivity20044 years ago

Poems and stories sounds like a good mix. I hadn't heard of Jack Kerouac and I just googled him; an interesting man. Wow, chapter 10 already! You're whizzing through that. Brilliant

Activity2004• in reply toFlorence_4 years ago

I finished “The Sea Is My Brother” a few days ago and I have gotten up to the beginning of the 20th chapter in “The Chef” this afternoon. I enjoy the way James Patterson put cooking and reading together.😀👍🌈

thara96435 years ago

I borrowed a new book today from the library called A year at Hotel Gondola by Nicky P

Activity2004• in reply tothara96435 years ago

That sounds like a great book to read from the library. Did you start it today or are you waiting for the upcoming weekend?

thara9643• in reply toActivity20045 years ago

Started today

Activity2004• in reply tothara96435 years ago

That’s great! Can’t wait to hear about it soon.😀👍🌈📖🐇

Dinner time here now.😀👍🍽🥘

Sent you a message a few minutes ago. Please check. It’s okay!😀👍🌈

Florence_• in reply tothara96434 years ago

Sounds good!

thara96434 years ago

What book do I read next?

Activity2004• in reply tothara96434 years ago

Do you like romance stories? You could do a romance story with a mystery together. Some books I own around my house are like that and were gifts years ago. Do you like Norah Roberts/JD Robb? She does romance. I have tons of her books.

thara9643• in reply toActivity20044 years ago

Never read her books actually. Going to a local bookshop tomorrow morning to see if there are any Halloween books. Good idea. Not really. I love travel books however. If you can recommend any popular good fictional books on travel, thanks in advance. Also I’m looking for non fiction books on spirituality too as well. Recommendations wanted.

Activity2004• in reply tothara96434 years ago

Let me see what I can do and let you know either later tonight after dinner or tomorrow after my breakfast.

thara9643• in reply toActivity20044 years ago

Hi! I have been continuing the Elly Griffiths murder/archaeology series, just begun the tenth in the series. Two more to go after this! They're really well written, the characters are believable and likeable. The murder aspect is not too gory, there is no excessive bad language and there is just enough suspense to make for a good read without being terrifying. I've been pleased to find a new author I like so much and I've been passing them on to my mother who has become mildly addicted!

Activity2004• in reply toGhounds4 years ago

That’s fantastic to hear! Keep it going!😀👍🌈🐇📖

GhoundsReading Rabbits• in reply toActivity20044 years ago

Thanks! I was so busy reading I forgot to post in September 😂😂

Activity2004• in reply toGhounds4 years ago

Take your time!😀👍🌈

GhoundsReading Rabbits• in reply toActivity20044 years ago

Lol....I like to read in bed but Mr B the Greyhound thinks I keep the light on too long sometimes! He has been known to stick his head under his blanket....he sighs at me too. After five years you would think he was used to it!😂

Activity2004• in reply toGhounds4 years ago

That’s so cute! I read before bed, too. Not able to sleep otherwise each night.😀👍🌈📖🐇

GhoundsReading Rabbits• in reply toActivity20044 years ago

I'm not a good sleeper....even when I'm really tired!

It depends on the way my day goes sometimes.
