We had book club last night Our book to be discussed was by a Japanese author. (I can't remember the name or title) It was horrid, no one really enjoyed it. Our next book looks better.
I've just read Tami Hoag's latest. I used to read her books years ago but hadn't seen any new ones. Apparently, she had an equestrian accident and was out of action for a while. This book is excellent.
DD has Amazon prime and I found I get borrow books from there for free. I don't know how it works - I have tried it a couple of times and it's been good.

I’ve recently finished. Fiona McIntosh’s Blood Pact that I really enjoyed my book club book has been Three Card Murder, JL Blackhurst.  I enjoyed it too as I like crime books.

Cookie, I just started reading that yesterday.  I usually like her books but I'm finding this one hard to get interested in.

I am half way through the third of Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo et al).  I had read all three books some years ago, but am thoroughly enjoying reading them again.

I’m reading Part of Your World, Abby Jiminez. It’s an almost soppy romance. I enjoy them every now and then.

Ha, Cookie, real escapism. I’m reading Chancellor, Angela Markel, by Kati Marton. It’s very interesting as during our life time. The writing is clear but uninspiring.
