Currently listening to Ghosts: Being the Experiences of Flaxman Low, to ring in the 2025 Spooky Season!

After that I am re-reading Flowers for Algernon which is a big favorite and I love the movie.
OK, I'll copy from the other thread, thank you Carol. I just finished Honey for Tea this morning and another by Elizabeth Cadell Out of the Rain very recently, and I'd love to know what others think of these.
Cadell has written so many books, but I think I've read all my library has, and when I look on Abebooks the ones I haven't read yet might not be worth paying the price. Out of the Rain, for example, was an OK book but if I'd paid more than $2 or $3 dollars for it, say, I'd have been disappointed. Honey for Tea was better, but all the ones yet to read the prices are more like $12 and up, plus shipping in some cases.
Barbara Willard is another author I want to read more of (I must have found her here, mustn't I?) but luckily my library still has 5 more I can order.

It's nice they are available and thanks for the link, CindySR, but I refer IRL books followed by ebooks I can put on my Kindle. I am thinking about getting a new tablet, however, so that may change.I hope you like Christie's nonfiction and look forward to hear what you think.

Me too so I get it.
So far Agatha is descriptive and fun. I have been to a tell in Israel (over 40 years ago!) so I can see things in my minds eye.

I'm reading After the Funeral for the book pool. I got the audio off Spotify & was trying to follow along with a paperback copy from Open Library - but Open Library started playing up. I had taken the OL copy out twice already that day & returned it - are you not allowed a third time on the same day?
It didn't really matter though, because I already had the characters sorted out in my head - which is something I've struggled with in the past with audio/audible reads.
