Best reads - Club Together Book Club?

Debs, we just keep a book, with the authors we follow arranged alphabetically and list their books, mark them off when we get them and cross tick them when we read them. But I must admit that TW's method is really the way to go.

Thanks Nellie, I showed OH Tin’s suggestion and he said, well that’s sounds easy enough but being - as my OH calls me, ‘technologically disabled’ then the book method might be the one used. I really like the website, will enable me to have a better and quicker choice of books.

We too are inept at that technology stuff, paper works for us, however we do need a big book of two!!😁

Currently I’m doing a lot of re-reading. I’ve recently re-read all of P D James again (one of my absolute favourite authors - as soon as I read the first paragraph I’m drawn in). It’s like watching a favourite film again (and again!). 

Maybe Ruth Randell next - the Wexford ones, I’m not too keen on her Barbara Vane books.

But yesterday a pre-ordered Anthony Horowitz popped into my Kindle. I used to save up new books to take on holidays, but circumstances mean no holidays for a while, so I’ll maybe shut myself in the summerhouse and shut out the world. 

I read of others enjoying their kindle and I have one but just not keen on reading from it. I just love a book! The feel of the paper, the turning of the pages. My cousin loads her kindle up before her long holidays in France and she thinks I’m mad sticking to books. I usually buy them from charity shops and then return them to that or another charity shop, just my small way of helping a little. I can see the advantages of the kindle, making the words larger for easy reading, not having books laying around, easy transportation and, best of all, being able to read at night in bed without the light on to disturb other half. But I still prefer a book. Also I don’t like audio books much, I like to see the punctuation in the written word. Is it just me.

I both buy books and Kindle downloads. Some I have in both formats.  I know find the Kindle easier to hold, rather than a hardback book - which is what I buy if buying in book form. My Kindle is ancient - no touch screen or light on the screen. The battery drains a bit faster than it used to, but I don’t want to upgrade it.  

And it’s easier to sneak new books into the house if they’re digital. No bulky parcels arriving. 

Just finished reading Carlos Zafón’s Labyrinth of the Spirits.
Didn’t understand the ending, but am still feeling shivery after reading it. 
Highly recommend reading  Zafóns books when visiting Barcelona. 😱

Unusually I've just abandoned a book, Head in the Sand by Damien Boyd, I was looking forward to this crime series after enjoying the first one but it's just too graphic and gory with more promised! So not for me. Unfortunately I bought two books together so will pass them on. We have cafe locally that raises funds with a good sized secondhand book section.

I've ordered Gloucester Cres (can't remember the exact title) by William Miller which is about growing up amongst all the famous occupants there (including Alan Bennett etc.) I've already read Claire Tomalin's autobiography which ends up there too. My gt grandfather was a corn reaper in nearby Regents Park, how things have changed!!

I have  a Kindle, but much prefer real books although I struggle with small print. I like history books etc and like to see photos and illustrations which my Kindle doesn't present too well.

I've got several books on the go.

Nellie (or Mrs N!) - Fever of the World is on Kindle daily deal today (at an outrageous £1.29, not 99p )

Cheers, but done first thing this morning!! She wasn't expecting to get it so quickly, butwas willing to go the extra mile, well 30p anyway.
