What are you reading?

No, I'm afraid not. I will say if it comes to mind but it was years back at a time when I was exploring lots of things.

Just started Dances with Dragons. Which is me continuing with GoT.

All the boring investment subscriptions

It is such a fun story: and full of humour. It will make you laugh and cry. A heartwarming story.

I read "The Tears Of Autumn" by David Wiltshire.

It is an excellent world war historical fictional novel. It is fairly short but has such depth and quality to it. It's so well written and magical. Definitely one of the best. 10/10.

I am now reading "So Wrong - So Right" by Glenis Wilson. Not one of my favourites but so far I'll give it 9/10. Because I wouldn't read it again.

I agree with my first impressions of this book. I really enjoyed reading "Star Teacher" and would happily read it again. I like this book because it is fun and also funny in parts. Yet it has an adult undertone. It is well constructed and skillfully written with descriptions that add colour to Yorkshire. It is almost poetic in places.

This is a book I'd advise everyone read. PLUS it is around 330 pages long, so it doesn't drag on or repeat itself. You won't have to sit there for hours and hours reading. At most it'd take 2 1/2 hours to read. But the pace picks up quickly, so you don't really notice the time. Oh: it has a happy ending.

Give this book a read!

I am reading "Dear Little Corpses" by Nicola Upson.

So far it is brilliant! I do love the crime genre.

I have just read about a quarter of "Dark Undertakings" by Rebecca Tope. I found that I was not enjoying it. The story / plot was interesting enough but I just did not get on with her writing style so I abandoned it.

I LOVE the Murder Club Books. They are so easy to read and understand and are just enjoyable to read.

I finished reading this. I also read "Sorry For The Dead" by the same author. Two brilliant books.

I read the original three Baxter books by Karen Kingsbury, after quickly watching the three seasons of The Baxters on Amazon. More depth in the books, but I admit it was fun to see people portray the familiar characters.

Before I get sucked into the tragedy that occurs in Book 4 of that series, I'm taking a break and catching up on more recent books Kingsbury wrote to continue that family's history (and I think some stories will focus on the grown children from the original books). I've borrowed In This Moment (#2 in Baxter Family) and also To the Moon and Back (#3) from our library.

I also read The Color of Rain by Michael and Gina Spehn, a non-fiction look at blending families after loss. (This one was made into a Hallmark movie that I had in my collection, so I wanted the real story!) The youngest wants to me to preview The Sailor Cipher by Trudi Trueit before he decides to read it, and I've also got Still Standing by Courtney Joseph Fallick, another non-fic book about recovery after loss.

I finished reading this today: a truly brilliant story. It was a mixture of fun and serious. It approached different attitudes between the sexes. It was honest and to-the-point. There was no graphic language or sex scenes. It did talk about attitudes but nothing crude or offensive. An extremely good book. 10/10.

I'm starting When We Were Young by Karen Kingsbury. These Baxter Family books have been quick reads overall, but not totally light reading in the content - a good mix where I can dig into social issues or realistic life situations, but somehow read fast!

Also borrowed from the library: The Astronaut Wives Club, since I watched the TV show recently.

I'm done the two Karen Kingsbury books I had! Each one took less than 24 hours to read. My favourite so far of the Baxter Family series is When We Were Young. It was so good! The pacing was great in telling the tale and it was heartbreaking at points but full of hope overall! I gave this one 5 out of 5 on GoodReads.

The other book had an interesting topic, but it just didn't reach a great writing level and have the same heart impact for me as the previous one. I gave it a 3 out of 5 on GoodReads.

I've put the last three of that series on hold, and I got another chapter read in Still Standing by Courtney Joseph Fallick (non-fic book). Not sure what fiction read I'll dive into next, or if I'll bounce around a little... Sometimes a 5-star book leads to a problem of finding a good book afterwards!
