What book are you reading?

[mab19]

I'm almost finished reading "The Light Between Oceans" by M. L. Stedman . 

Are you enjoying it?

Gert

Yes Gert I am enjoying it. 

I don't seem to get much time to read lately but this book was given to my 14 year old GD via a book club at school and she didn't want to read it so gave it to her mum, who gave it to my DH who gave it to me.  When I have finished it I will give it back to GD and tell her to read it.

Because I am having a hard day today, a friend sent me a copy of a page out of his book called “Letters of Note” to cheer me up – I can’t re-print the copy of the page I received, it is just a wee bit naughty, but if the rest of the book is as much fun as this one page is nothing was going to stop me from buying it (as a gift to me).  I somehow think it would be better as a hard-cover than kindle so went to the Book Depository only to discover that the author (Shaun Usher) has compiled a second book of much the same name so I promptly ordered both and am now looking forward to receiving them ... soon, I hope.

Shun Usher has a web site with  nearly 1000 letters on it http://www.lettersofnote.com Fascinating . It will be a good read  cuilidh!

Really excited, I received notification from the library that Monday Morning Cooking Club is mine for two weeks.

Great idea Michele, one you can give back and not have to give away down the track.

Brilliant idea, Mich!  I think I should get back to using the library more often than I do !!

I'm loving the library at the moment - reserving book recommendations online and then collecting when they have got them in.  Great way to "shop."    My sister gave me a booklovers calendar for my birthday - a different book review/description each day, so any that appeal get added to my library saved list too.  Should keep me going for quite a lot longer than a year though!

Our library also has a pretty good e-book borrowing service, although often have to wait a while.

Libraries have certainly changed a lot over the years. Mine has a chat morning with treats. Next week is a local author coming for a chat.  My Island Homicide  buy Catherine Titasey. Had to download and read it before I meet her.

Also just downloaded the lasted JK Rowling writing as Robert Galbraith. The Silkworm.

The. Galbraith? If so. I think I paid $16 something on Amazon . Kindle is not cheap these days. Bloody politicians.

I agree the price of Kindle books is sneaking up

It was inevitable, I guess, but very frustrating, especially when you have to battle through the non-existent proofing and checking in many of them.  Sometimes I get so angry because there are so many errors it totally destroys the flow and enjoyment of reading the books.

$20 for the latest Diana Gabaldon book!

DD checks Amazon, Kobo and wherever before we buy. K Mart was the best price we could find. I'm looking forward to reading it.
