What are you reading today?

I'm reading 'Run Rose, Run by Dolly Parton and James Patterson'.

The book isn't released yet, but asked to do a review.

Molly I am finding the book and her life interesting and I will finish it. However, I agree. I couldn't believe some of what I was reading.

No Kate1949 I didn’t like her book either -I didn’t finish it. I think she’s a bit foul mouthed in some of the programs she’s in as well.

Just me then that finds Miriam's book a bit shocking. It's good and interesting but offering men she encounters on the street and elsewhere 'b* j***' shocked me and her language is appalling.

Just finished "Towards the Within" by Reece Willis. I would not recommend it.

Bloody Brilliant Women by Cathy Newman. And it is, of course, bloody brilliant.

I'm another one reading Miriam Margolyes. Jogging so many memories of the 60s and 70s.

'Frontline' by Dr Hilary Jones. It's supposed to be about WW1 and the Spanish Flu. I'm more than half way through and there's been no mention of the Spanish flu yet. It's a bit disappointing all round actually, too much about the fighting for my liking and too many characters who don't seem to develop . As much as I admire Dr Hilary I think he should stick to medical matters! Not bad for a first novel though.

I’ve just finished Frank Herbert’s Dune. A long read.

The Sunday papers and 'Men of Honour: Trafalgar and the Making of the English Hero', by Adam Nicolson.

Personaly, I did not enjoy the first of the 'Thursday Murder Club' books, so will not be reading the second, but as it was lent to me by someone who loved it.........

‘The Gilded Age in New York City 1870 - 1910’ by Ester Crain.
It arrived yesterday. Lovely coffee table book about a fascinating, greedy, opulent, depraved period.

I don’t read fiction any more.
I’ve gone right off it, no idea why!

Educated by Tara Westover is my current read, although I have a stack of unfinished books by my bed ? My concentration isn’t what it was since developing heart failure so I no longer avidly devour books sadly.
It’s a fascinating read so far, a very difficult and different childhood.

Just finished the second Richard Osman which was a Christmas present and starting 'The Penguin Sessions' which was recommended to me and looks delightful.

The Last House on Needless Street. I wish I wasn’t, as I’m not enjoying it at all. But it’s my reading group book, so I feel I’ve got to finish it. I’ll be interested to see what the others think.

I agree with you on The Catcher in the Rye, pea007!

I've just started Where the Crawdads Sing . It's a library book so I'd better get a move on with it , abandon the ironing !

Best book I read last year !

I am reading A beautiful spy, Rachel Hore , and quite enjoying it.

About to start The Couple from No9 Claire Douglas

To kill a mocking bird by Harper Lee.

Discovering the River Tamar by John Neale. Very interesting as we live close to the Tamar. It was a Christmas present.
Also reading Fallen Angels by Val Wood.

I'm on the second chapter of The Incendium Plot by A. D. Swanton. It's a murder mystery set in Elizabeathen times. It has started off well, and I'm enjoying it.
I like a historical novel.

Just started Driving Over Lemons written by Chris Stewart a former musician. I saw him on a Rick Stein cookery programme a few years ago. Its about a family making a life in a remote part of southern Spain.

Truly SueDonim for ages afterwards I didn’t want to waste anything even a sliver of soap. It felt so wrong somehow.

My daughter has just read The Siege, Urmston and I said I thought I had, too. When I looked at it, though, it was obvious that I hadn’t read it, because it’s such a distinctive story, you couldn’t really muddle it up with any other novel.

I’m rereading Little Dribbling by Bill Bryson. I find myself laughing out loud at some of his descriptions of British towns and the people he meets as he travels along “The Bryson Line” from south to north Britain I last read this book about five years ago but it’s my Reading Group book and I’m enjoying it again.

I've just started Where the Crawdads Sing . It's a library book so I'd better get a move on with it , abandon the ironing !

I want to read that Granniesunite thank you.
