What are you reading?

I will be reading the first novel in my new "to read" pile today: I have three books to read that I've borrowed from my local library.

It is a historical novel, so should be good.

I have finished "The Remorseful Day". I was a bit unsure all the way through but I did remember what happened in the end, which was a bit sad, so maybe it did unsettle me a bit. I do get absorbed in books and their characters at times. I won't give things away though, in case anyone else reads it.

No I am reading "The Saint Plays with Fire". An interesting change from the normal detective story. I got two or three of them a while back and like to read one occasionally for a change in style.

I hit 150 titles read this year with last night's finish of the Blueberry Beach series. I accidentally keep picking shorter reads! The Strawberry Sands series starts with a release tomorrow (Friday).

Still have some Kindle Unlimited graphic novels to read, and print library books. The list of books never ends!

I could read forever. I LOVE reading and always will.

That's one reason I didn't like library books. The time limit on reading them. I like to read when I am in the mood and hate being pushed into it. It destroys the mood.

I have now finished "The Saint Plays with Fire". It was not one of my favourites. It was not helped by the appearance of the text size and font which, although readable, the little letters made the text appear as a maze at first glance (it was a small paperback).

The story itself was much the same as others in the series. They don't quite have the touch or someone like Conan Doyle or Christie. That said, it was interesting but I have noticed the writer, Leslie Charteris, does, to me, have a tendency to build things up and then bring in the cavalry seemingly in a sentence.

I do have one other 'Saint' novel, I think, in my stack of books to read.

I am now reading "Too Good To Be True" by kristan Higgins. It is good. It isn't my favourite genre but it is fun and easy-to-read. It does have heart and soul at its core.

I shall report on it when I've finished reading it!

Started on one called Crime Scene by Jonathon and Jesse Kellerman

I went to the library today and have borrowed four books. I am looking forward to reading them!

Too many books on the go... "Bad" habit that I'm not that worried about!

Reading to the older boys: Return of the King by JRR Tolkien, about halfway through.

Started but haven't finished in print: Phasers on Stun by Ryan Britt and Jane & Me by Caroline Jane Knight.

Library loans: Sweet Life by Suzanne Woods Fisher and Sea Glass Cottage by Irene Hannon (intended re-read).

Kindle Unlimited: Strawberry Sands #2 by Jessie Gussman (okay so far) and Kayleigh by Kimberly Rae Jordan (good, so I'll read it through before I get back to the Gussman book).

Yet to start but excited for: the last Pumpkin Falls Mystery (middle-grade fiction) by Heather Vogel Frederick and the first Sweet River Ranch ebook by Valerie Comer! (These will likely push out other books on the list that could be finished right away...)

Basically, I read what I'm in the mood for, and I've been scattered lately!

I have just read a Ruth Rendell. "Some Lie and Some Die" which is an Inspector Wexford mystery. It was a good read. In my mind not quite up to an Agatha Christie but I did enjoy it and will be looking for others.
