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. 📚
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.
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.
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.😀👍🌈
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?
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.😀👍🌈
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
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.
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
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.😀👍🌈
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.
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.
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!
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!😂
