What are you reading?

I read the NEW issue of "Woman & Home" magazine this morning: it was a good read. It is factual and full of useful advice. It is the right age group for me too.

I read and enjoyed A Piece of the Moon by Chris Fabry, so now I'm reading another of his novels: June Bug.

Also reading Persuasion with the teens and enjoying that I can consult my annotated edition for interesting facts and explanations.

I got through a few library books last week to reduce my pile, so now there are just a few more. Planning a trip to the library on Friday, so I might end up with more!

I still haven't read this book! I think I started it, but once I'd put it down for a break, I wasn't interested enough to pick it up again. Oops! Could always borrow it from the library sometime!

I finished reading "A Stranger On The Beach" last night.

The poor bloke was set up by a psycho criminal, claiming to be an innocent wife. There was a serious twist at the end of the book. And it ended the right way.

I am now reading "Murder At Madame Tussauds" by Jim Eldridge.

I've only read the first chapter but have promised myself I will finish reading it by Friday.

I'm reading a ST: Discovery novel with the teens: Somewhere to Belong. It does seem to be moving along at a faster pace while reading aloud, but I had found this novel a bit of a snooze when I read it on my own... I guess I'm used to the Star Trek books that hook with lots of action and just keep going!

I'm also reading My Imaginary Mary, which I found in a display in the teen section of our library. So fun! Definitely falls in the fantasy category, but it's semi-historical since it has Mary Shelley and Ada Lovelace as main characters and they're in their proper time period. (At least so far - you never know with fantasy!) I love the narrator comments and asides that make this one a fun read.

I'm waiting for more Jonathan Cahn non-fiction to arrive, and in the meantime, I'm actually finding myself getting into the Harbingers II despite its odd fictional framework (mostly dialogue that can get a bit confusing and/or repetitive). I'd like to have had this and the first Harbingers book as non-fiction, but it's still quite fascinating subject matter!

Also started The Gates of Zion by Brock & Bodie Thoene, and will probably dive in further once I'm done Harbingers (though I do already have another fiction selection going, sometimes I prefer just one fiction and one non-fiction for my personal reading).

And yesterday I hit 10 out of 66 books (!) for a 2024 read-through of the entire Bible (in French so far, which means I should review the content in English at some point, ha ha).

I'm going to the library tomorrow. I usually choose about three novels: usually crime and also in large print.

I prefer large print books when I can get them. I can read the small print easily enought but the larger print is far easier to follow.

The Bill of Obligations by Richard Haas.

I think anyone who wants to become citizen of this country must read this book.

I am reading "The Lady's Slipper" by Deborah Swift.

I love Star Trek.

I have just finished reading "Mr Two Bomb" by "William Coles".

This (fictional but to a real setting) novel portrays a man who survives the explosion of the first atom bomb in Hiroshoma and then returns back to his wife in Nagasaki and promptly get blown up again.

I did find it a good book although it didn't pay to think too deeply into the details. You could consider it a bit like a real zombie novel. Real because it depicts the effects of atomic explosions on people, and the after effects. Really gory.

In all I think it was one of the most moving books I have read for some time.

I have had zero time to read anything. It looks like Monday it'll be a reading day: it is the only day I get to myself. Otherwise I am too busy. It's a pain. But maybe I should read my library books in bed: where there's no ringing telephone to disturb me.
