Oh gosh, how worrying. No need to apologise!

Anyone read anything by Christian White, Aus mystery/thriller author? I just finished The Wife and the Widow in a day and a bit. I hadn't heard of him but he's good!I started another hand me down Aus book My Mother, The Spy: The daring and tragic double life of ASIO agent Mercia Masson which sounded far better than it is so am interspersing the plod through that with others that I know will be way better.
I was checking our gaps in the WW to see what we need but it seems Elen read for Author born in Japan a while back but it hasn’t been added as done. That’s good because I could have done a reread but didn’t want to 😀
Just came across paella. Has anyone claimed that? I’m aiming to finish this book today. it’s a page turning new Harlan Coben.

Happy birthday, Richard. Yum sounding entree.

Finished the December published book.

My book A farewell To Arms is used twice for this cheese. Is that allowed?
Just found a book for First Published in December. Will read it next, needed or not.
Finished the African continent book in Travelling.
Okay. Thanks, Karen.
Is anyone reading for the African continent setting in Travelling? A friend just dropped in with a pile of books to offload and one of them is a Chinua Achebe I have on my TBR shelf. A quick read if we need it.
For Travelling 100 I have plenty of MPG Historical Fictions on my TBR list and also one already on the planning sheet The Queen's Necklace by Alexandre Dumas.Travelling 83 -- Travels with Charley: In Search of America by John Steinbeck is one I wouldn't mind rereading (read it in 1976)) if I find a copy. It's Steinbeck's travel memoir of driving across America with Charlie, his dog. A very enjoyable read if anyone's interested.
The Wayward Bus is another of his about a group of people travelling about California on a bus. Haven't read it but it sounds good.
Another top cheese.
Not sure if I’ve eaten that cheese but it’s one I’d like and I’ve certainly heard of it.Just starting my pre 1900 book by Thomas Hardy
. Lots of people really dislike Hardy but he’s one of my favourites. The slow pace doesn’t bother me at all.

Another of those odd lists. How can 1984, Animal Farm and the first volume of The Lord of the RIngs be classed as Unknown books?? I read two of them at school. You may not have read them but I bet most people know the titles.
