reading…june 2017

This post should really be called reading May and June 2017 because my reading efforts for May were so miserable I decided not to post about it. That’s not to say that what I read was miserable. Far from it. During May I read…

Books recommendations from reading during April 2017

Reading…April 2017

April should be known as crime month. Reading crime fiction means you get to read lots and that’s what I did, because crime fiction writers make it easy to sit in the same seat for hours on end and read and read and read.…

Reading…March 2017

March reading started well. I was more than happy with my first book choice. But the more I read, the more I began to question books two and three. The problem I have with reading is that once I start a book, I find it…

Reading February 17

Reading…February 2017

Reading during February consisted of just two books. That’s unusual. I am generally a prolific reader, but this month it just hasn’t happened. I think it’s the books I chose. I enjoyed both, but neither made me sit there, or want to sit there, and keep…

Reading...October

Reading…October

Reading is all about finding the perfect book to take to bed at night. I like the last half hour of the day to be spent absorbed in the pages of a book, something that takes away the day and leaves you  absorbed in another…

Book selection for September

Reading…September

Reading during September has been a bit of a struggle. I decided I needed a little bit of humour to lift my spirits out of the funk that ‘Ruby’ (Cynthia Bond) caused, so with that in mind, I went searching in the local library.…

Reading…August

Reading August…it’s been a busy month with the upgrade of my site, but it’s never too busy to pick up a book. I have to say my choices have been mediocre, which is disappointing, but that’s the nature of the game. You never really know…
