Local libraries are getting more into the swing of this now, when I did have time to read I got myself a Kindle and vowed only to use the freebies, some have been good some not so good but in the main ok, boy was I narked when I downloaded one on a train and had to pay £1.75.....that killed my pig!

"that killed my pig"...never heard that saying before😂😂😂

That's if there would be enough interest....ppl may be too busy etc etc

Just a thought

[Ellie]

I loved where the Crawdads sing. .. made me cry !

Me too Debbie, which is very unusual for me, I just thought the book was so well written. xx

I loved where the Crawdads sing. .. made me cry !
I also enjoyed the giver of stars. I usually find Jojo Moyes a little cheesy, although enjoyable but I loved the idea of giving children the gift of reading.
I enjoy Adele Parks too !

Maybe reading too late at night is stopping me joining the early riser club ! Thanks for starting the thread Linda x

Adele Parks was recommended to me as an author. So I've borrowed 2 'Just my Luck' & 'Lies Lies Lies' about to start so not sure yet. Will let you know.
I like anything by Kathy Reichs 'The Bone Code' is on my list.
I also have read a lot of the Jack Reacher books by Lee Childs. I've liked them all for a bit of action.
I like the Wolf Hall trilogy too...Hilary Mantel
Most recently read 'Body Language' by AK Turner...which I liked as was a page turner so a quick read.

Ellie American dirt....sounds interesting 👀👍

My only issue is audio books make me fall asleep....like being read to as a child I guess....great for anxiety👍👍💋

[Ellie]

Yes, I listen to an audiobook every morning whilst waiting for my carers to arrive, a lovely, luxurious way to start my day, and all borrowed from my library 👍

My favourite book so far this year is Where the Crawdads Sing, followed by American Dirt.

Has anybody any recommendentations? xx
