I like to see what you are reading. I am in a mystery phase, but I read lots of other things, too. I just finished a novel by Harlan Coban (Myron Bolitar series)I like Lisa Kleypas,Mary Higgins Clark, Jodi Thomas
Thanks for popping by nellybelle. As you can see I find it very hard to read anything but crime fiction. There is so much out there, just waiting..
I'm keeping up with Corduroy Mansions too Kerrie but I am the only one finding it to be completely devoid of plot? I like the reader's voice, and I like McCall Smith's way with words but it reminds me of an old Monty Python skit where a news anchor announced "Mr Smith woke up this morning, drank his tea, left his house and as he walked around the corner....NOTHING HAPPENED".
I've found it difficult to get myself to listen this week Bernadette- as I said last week I'm not sure why I'm listening apart from the fact that Andrew Sachs is so lovely to listen to. There really doesn't seem to be any story line excpet the bit about the con with the dog
I grew up devouring Agatha Christie books. I haven't picked one up in a while. It just might be time again.
I'm getting a lot out of re-reading them Heather - re-reading is something I rarely do. But I don't really remember a lot about the original stories
Blimey, how do you find the time - that's one helluva big list! (Nice to see my book in it though (-: )
