  1. Also saying Hi back ! How are things ?
  2. Alex Rider Is it this book ? Maybe different copies had an orange cover...
  3. Thanks Gaia And a big thank you for doing these read-a-thons throughout the year !
  4. I`m happy to read-a-thon whenever`s good for everyone else, too.
  5. Good Luck with the Book Purge ! I `donated` around 25 books to a neighbour this year ( lots more to look through... )
  6. Thank you ! I did manage more reading than I thought ; I seem to have read the 5 books in Charlotte Macloed`s Grub-and-Stakers series, over 4 days. It`s a fun series, though not as good as her Peter Shandy or Sarah Kelling & Max Bittersohn series. Taking place in a small town in Canada, it`s enjoyably silly ( though, I did have a bit of trouble with a couple of the characters - one of them speaks in a Scotch dialect and another using Regency vocabulary - it was sometimes a bit awkward to read ). I might re-read the first Peter Shandy book this month ; a Xmas themed book called Rest You Merry.
  7. I have yet another stoopid migraine now so won`t be reading as much as I`d like; I did finish off EE Holmes` Heart of the Rebellion last night, which was excellent, and also read a Charlotte MacLeod mystery - The Grub-and-Stakers Move a Mountain ( also v. good ). i`m hopefully reading a bit of the next Grub-and-Stakers book tonight .
  8. Aw, hope you enjoy them. And yay for hardbacks !
  9. Lovely book pics. Are you going to try the Wallander series ? I loved the Krister Henrikson ones.
  10. I read that years ago ! No idea about the scandal.
  11. Hurray ! Amazon are doing another Kindle Unlimited 3-month thingy, so I`ll subscribe to that in a few days. Looking forward to the Wicked Witches of the Midwest books and EE Holmes latest ( which isn`t available yet, but should be in December, hopefully ).
  12. The Sharon Kahn books are fun ( lightweight, but in a good way - not overly taxing and the mystery bit is good, as well as lovely characters ).
  13. October`s Reads : First place goes to Flunking Sainthood, a witty, touching and informative memoir of the year the author spent following different spiritual practices. I also highly rated the May Sarton journal and the Ada Madison books with a maths professor solving mysteries.
  14. September`s Reads : September Reads First place goes to Brief Cases , then The Asperger`s Mystery Book 2 and the Ada Madison : Prof Sophie Knowles mysteries.
  15. I missed this completely ! What a great story. Was that when you lived near Rita Mae Brown ?
  16. Aw, lovely Doctor Blake. I`m almost up to date with last season`s DC shows ( Arrow, Flash, Supergirl - have seen Legends of Tomorrow finale already ).
  17. I had a look on Amazon and it does look cute.
  18. Ooh, sounds good. Is it similar to Kiki`s Delivery Service ?
  19. I read a lot of cosy mysteries, which are around 220-250 pages per book ; that`ll take me around 2/12 to 3 hrs per book. I do neglect other things in order to spend more time reading ( and go to bed earlier to read, too ). Good luck reaching 50 !
  20. I haven`t read the last two books - Witch Interrupted, and Close Encounters of the Witchy Kind - I`ll read them the next time there`s a Kindle Unlimited deal. Are you up to date with them ?
