What are you reading?

It seemed to fizzle out. Maybe I was too mean as a proofreader...

I'm excited about working on my own short story collections, but I'd pass off any further WOF book work to another person for proofing and such. I did really appreciate getting to read all the work, though. We have a lot of fascinating tales here!

I think about it now and again but never get round to make progress on my 2nd story, even though I did start it. If I remember correctly we need perhaps another couple of stories to makeup a sensible size book.

I went to the library yesterday and borrowed four books.

I shall make a start on them on Monday afternoon, when I have the time.

Been reading a lot of James Patterson's stuff. Finished the first two in a series that both had over 100 chapters each. I thought about writing short stories for my own amusement at one point.

I am now reading "The Second Sight Of Zachary Cloudesley by Sean Lusk.

I shall report on it when I finish reading it!

Yesterday evening I read "Girl With A Pearl Earring". It was published in 1999 and is genius.

I loved the painter character and his attention to detail when it came to colours. He was a vibrant and interesting character. The maid is a mix of respectful to others, yet still having respect for herself. I felt bad for her, though, when others were aggressive and condescending with her. But she retained her composure.

Anyhow, this is a book you guys will want to read: it is a short novel - 280 pages - and can be read in one sitting. It isn't boring or dull but has such interesting and artistic knowledge to it.

If you're an artist, you'll want to read "Girl With A Pearl Earring".

My thanks for the safe return of my work..

I dont know if I will ever use it but OH has said maybe when he is gone. I could use it to write about FTD and how misunderstood it is.

I'm reading a new book from Valerie Comer, and she included her daughter's fantasy book The Rose Gate in the story. I tried not to laugh as I was reading late at night with kids in bed. It just struck me as a very funny inclusion for the proud mother author.

Once I'm done this ebook, I'll go back to the Hope Springs series from Valerie Bodden.

Waiting for my Chesapeake Shores books to arrive as well!

I read both "Good Housekeeping" and "Woman & Home" magazines: both August 2024 issues.

I will be going to the library on Friday to borrow more books.

I've started reading my new pile of library books.

I will review the first novel when I finish it soon.

Still on JPs 3rd Degree. Haven't gotten much reading done.

I am onto book 1 of book 5 of GOT.
