What are you reading?

I can spend up to six hours on the sofa reading novels. I am very patient. Books are worth the time and effort to read. I like reading so much, I even write my own stories and poetry.

Now - on occasion - I have discarded a book. But this is rare. Some stories I just think are atrocious and put down, never to read again. I guess some stories aren't my cup of tea.

I am reading another of the Dune series The Machine Crusade

I'm reading a short novel from the library.

I was reading the bible online. I was looking at the book of Luke. I can't hardly wait til I get my new glasses and can read books again. Right now I have to take my glasses off to read. Everything is blurry with them on. Have to use the bifocal to see far away and even that's blurry. LOL

Oh THAT Richard Osman.....

I read that book on the insistence of my daughter, she said it was great. I thought it was a very long book. Every so often, it would really catch my attention, but that just wouldn't last. I also didn't realise it was a comedy, until I read it on the back cover, when I was about half way through.

4/10, Richard. Must try better next time.

I am on to the next Inspector Morse - "The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn".

She's very tall, thinks herself droll, and has a beard? 

I read "The Disaster Tourist" novel. It was sad because the main character died at the end of the story. But it was well written and I'd read it again. It was rather short, too.

You lucky thing! I only speak English.

I read two magazines yesterday: "Woman & Home" and "Good Housekeeping". I read them both, cover-to-cover. I buy both magazines every month, like clockwork. I used to read Cosmo, but it changed: and not for the better. No: I stick to grown-up magazines.

I am a magazine junkie! I have been since my teens.

I have read at least a couple of non Rebus books by him. Not that one though. I find them very mixed. One of them I even dropped mid story although it may have been a very early book before he developed his style. I don't remember now. Maybe I just get on better with the scenery I know from Rebus. If so "The Complaints" should be good, if I remember the character's name correctly.

I may have said before but the local libraries here are now run by volunteers. One thing I do make use of for things I could do in other ways is use the local post office. It's good to keep that open and they have closed so many in recent years. A post office is very useful if you are sent a parcel via the post office and they cannot deliver it as they just take it to the local post office. It avoids the need to go to the central office in town.

I have just finished reading the "inspector Morse" - " The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn". It twisted and turned a bit. Afterwaed I watched the episode on TV. They didn't change it greatly for TV although the actors who played the parts did colour it a little. That's one thing that you cannot get away from lol

I an now reading another - "Service of All the Dead".

I have a Secret Garden graphic novel (library loan) to finish, though I keep forgetting it! Oops! It's a modern take, and so far fairly good.

I don't remember whether I've read Jennifer Rodewald before, but I really enjoyed the first of a series called Big Prairie. I loved how it dealt with grief and resentment as the characters got a second chance together. I started Book 2 at lunch (and got a comment from the oldest wondering how I can focus on a book while eating - I may not eat as quickly, but it's more enjoyable to read while I'm at the table!).
