Fiction- What are you reading? Part 2
Mod
If you like the genre to be recomended. Watch out though, pretty tough!!!
Finished reading The Paris House by Alex George which I didn’t much enjoy. Now I am reading a The Secret of the Castle du Reve by Hannah Emery which pulled me in from the first page.
In the middle of Murder in the Merlot it's reasonable. Nothing stand out so far, happily a quick read.
I hope I can finish my current book, The Secret of Castle Du Reve. While it started out well enough it has gone downhill and I would love to start another book.
I am almost reluctant to begin a new book since my last two weren’t very good. I wonder if I’m going into a case if the book blahs.

Sometimes you just have a run of books that don't live up to your expectations. Maybe delve into an old favourite for a comfort read. Happy reading 😷❤😍📚
Sandy - all I hear about these days is the “I can’t seem to read.” I even read that editors are having a difficult time reading. I wonder why this is the case? Maybe we’re having trouble concentrating, too much time on our hands and we can do this later or we’re not choosing the right books for us.
What do you and other members think?
Reference what Katz Nancy was saying about reading less, with me it has actually been the opposite, possibly because I still get up at the same time as I would when travelling to work but now spending the travelling time reading before I settle down to work from home!I have found though that I'm a bit more critical of books and not rating as high, I don't think!!
I’m sorry I don’t know your full name but....we are both retired and wake up very early around 5 so it’s not for lack of time. My problem is I don’t always read what I would like to so.....and I have so many books on my kindle which were low priced that I would like to lessen the number of books and reading them is one way. Still I keep buying them since I am a book hoarder. I just think all of doing very little has really played with my brain.
Has any body read Normal People by Sally Rooney? We began watching this movie on Netflix and so far it’s intriguing. The reviews from newspapers and magazines were great but reviews on Amazon were rather divided.
I have read it and liked it.4 stars. But it’s not for everybody just a simple story of unconditional love and trust between a girl and a boy. Narration is fantastic.

About to star it with a friend of mine, in a day or two. It has been strongly recommended!
That's it! I'm off to buy Normal People.
Sandy I’m glad that you liked your book called The Banty House by Carolyn Brown and Sandy I’m reading my book called Stalker by Lisa Stone

And if you start it soon let me know: I think Im going to start it tomorrow with this friend of mine

Maybe we’re having trouble concentrat..."Most of the time I have no trouble reading, Nancy. Usually only when a book isn't really interesting me, or I have something that I am really worried about. I think that this Covid-19 pandemic and its economic aftermath are worrying a lot of people. But I have learned not to worry about things that I cannot change. I can only do what I can to protect myself and my family. The rest of it is out of my hands.

Laura - I will let you know but I won’t begin it till I finish watching this Hulu feature.
I am currently reading Have You Seen Me by Karen White. Although I have seen many books by this author, this is the first one I’m reading and it’s very good.
Christine wrote: "Sandy how’s your book going called When Grace Went Away by Meredith Appleyard?"This was wonderful thanks Christine.
Christine wrote: "Sandy how’s your book going called The Day Henry Died by Lynda Renham?"It's really great thanks Christine.
Christine wrote: "Sandy my book called Stalker by Lisa Stone was really good and oh that’s cool Sandy"That's really great Christine. What are you reading now?
No problem Sandy and no problem Sandy and aww thanks Sandy and Sandy I’m reading a book called No Stone Unturned by Andrea Kane
Christine wrote: "Sandy how’s your book going called The Museum of Forgotten Memories: A Novel by Anstey Harris?"It was a wonderful book thanks Christine. How's No Stone Unturned going?

That is one of my favourites. I even liked the film.
