I'm looking for books to read or download onto my Kindle
I've just finished The Co op's got Bananas by Hunter Davies and its hard to follow it!
And so sad that Margaret Forster has died last year. I will read all her books including non fiction again sometime.

I’m re-reading some of the Miss Read books at the moment. They are a very easy, relaxing read and during these present horrible times we are witnessing, I’m finding them rather comforting.

I'm re reading some of the Georgette Heyer books. I've just started the latest Helen Field thriller with Luc Callanach.

In the last week or two I’ve read half a dozen Agatha Christies, The Mad Women's Ball by Victoria Mas and have just finished the Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman. I started Bitch by Lucy Cooke, which I’m going to enjoy!

Just got Lemn Sissay autobiography and Lark Rise. Have to decide which to read first. Also reading rubbish novel on Kindle The Trouble with Clare and working through Joni Eareckson's Pearls of Great Price.
Miss Marjoribanks sounds good Witzend. Might add to the list.

All the Light we Cannot See by Anthony Doerr.

It is so appropriate with what is happening in Ukraine, and well written. About a third of the way through.

Reading Gillian McAllister's "No Further Questions".
Just finished the last of Shari Lapena's books, enjoyed them all.
I have a book about the Tudors sitting on my bedside table waiting for me.

Re-reading Miss Marjoribanks, by Margaret Oliphant, on my Kindle.
Something of a comfort-read - escapism from the relentless bad news.
Recommended for anyone who likes Victorian authors - it’s a ‘domestic’ type of (largely) comedy.

But today I’m going to collect A Brief History Of Everyone Who’s Ever Lived (about our genes) from Waterstone’s. Can’t recall the author offhand, but he’s a geneticist who’s been featured quite a bit on R4.
According to reviews, eminently readable for the lay-person.

I am reading the age of Vikings. The book is all about Vikings' culture and self reliability like how they made everything. The weapons, clothes and armors, and many other things that they made themselves.

The Tent, The Bucket and Me by Emma Kennedy.

It is hysterical!

Just the thing for the cold winter months.

I'm at the end of An Unquiet Heart by Martin Sixsmith, set in prewar and revolutionary Russia about a famous poet his loves and life and the absolute tragedy of events at that time. Gripping.

I’ve just downloaded Billy Connolly’s autobiography, Windswept and Interesting. Love Billy and his style of writing so enjoying it very much, very easy to read.

My youngest daughter buys and sells secondhand books. She`s just shown me a book that was in her latest batch. It`s called "All that Men Know about Women"......................it`s a book of blank pages! Wonder if she`ll find a buyer for it?

Monies, although monetise might fit ?

Callistemon

Furret

maggiemaybe don't you think that Alexander whatever his name is must be the most boring man outside of Yorkshire? ?

Perhaps because he's always very pleasant and not acerbic.
He is a comedian too but perhaps Pointless pays well!

He is a very talented presenter. singer, actor. and comedian. Raises monetise for charity.

“The Smell of Summer Grass” by Adam Nicholson.

A lovely, lovely read made more so as it is in my neck of the woods.

Love the description of a horses bottom!
