What are you reading?

And I did.

It was a brilliant romance story: it had such depth and emotion. It was extremely well written and I enjoyed reading it in one sitting. It is definitely a book I'd read again.

I'd give the book a score of 10/10.

I have just finished the Ian Fleming "Live and Let Die". James Bond does seem really dated in the book, and several of the things that happen have been extracted and mixed up in the films. Worth a read for something different but out of sync with today's tastes. That said I do have "Moonraker" on my pile though

My library books are due tomorrow but I haven't read all of them. So I have renewed them.

Having a busy life makes reading a lot difficult.

I publish my own eBooks on Lulu.com. It is the modern world of publishing and people seldom buy print books online. The Kindle is where people like to read their literature.

I get almost all of my books via loans from friends or the couple of book exchanges I visit. I have bought some online though but it is rare. Mostly the technical books although I usually have a lot of downloaded PDF's to look through.

Ive been to the Corrie ten Boom house in Haarlem.
Really fascinating story.

Yes, it used to irritate me that they never seemed to have that good a selection of Agatha Christies and other older writers. They concentrated more on more modern novels which have more appeal, although fast turnaround so library book sales are common here. When I last looked in the main library in town I found that most of the old reference books appeared to have gone. Replaced by computer stations habited mainly by students. Somehow it lost it's appeal, and I can easily lookup most things on the computer at home anyway.

If the library did a better job, would you use them?

I read more of Pride & Prejudice last night because the boys had gotten ahead of me with their audiobook listening. I'm almost caught up now!

Still enjoying the Sisterchicks novel as well, and I've read/skimmed most of the Fall of Gondolin by JRR Tolkien (illustrated by Alan Lee). I'll have to remember to look for Beren and Luthien as well...

I am looking forward to choosing my reading material!

I have yet to start my library book.

I'm reading another Sisterchicks novel by Robin Jones Gunn. In this one, the gals go to Paris. Haven't finished the Dress Diary book yet. Also started reading a Star Trek novel aloud to the teens.

The teens finished listening to Pride & Prejudice tonight, so they're now on to a Doctor Who audio drama that was part of a bundle we recently bought (with graphic novels too).

I am shortly going to start reading this book.
