Finished Ben Aaronovitch’s Tales from the Folly, short stories from theRivers of London series. They were quite good stories, especially the one from the Herefordshire Foxglove Summer characters.

Well worth it, so far.

Plenty of reading/listening time yesterday, and I managed 4 hours. Hopefully the same today as well.

Finished last night of Vittoria Cottage (The Dering Family #1) by D.E. Stevenson. Very enjoyable family saga/romantic/post-WW2 novel. Some sparkling wit and the whole book was soothing to read. I have the 2nd & 3rd Kindle versions of The Dering Family, so I look forward to them soon.

The Last Day of a Condemned Man - Victor Hugo

Really enjoyed Foxglove Summer (PC Peter Grant/Rivers of London #5). So reading next Tales from the Folly (short stories from Rivers of London series)

Half way through Jodi Taylor’s An Argumentation of Historians (The Chronicles of St Mary's #9). Very riveting!!

I’ll be in the read-a-thon this weekend. My mojo is in tip top condition; well, to be honest, all I am doing is eat, drink, read and sleeping! . But in a good way.

December! Just starting Tales of the Folly by Ben Aaronovitch - short stories in the Rivers of London series.

At last, it's a blue sky day, but it feels a bit nippy.

Trying to finish Foxglove Summer ( PC Peter Grant #5) today, 94% read so far!

Second day of dreich weather - dull, damp and cold. Depressing weather (Surprise to see a Redwing in the garden today, and haven’t seen any for years. They are only around during bad winter weather.)

Yes, I’m enjoying it, though it took a while to get into the characters. They seem to be a bit....eccentric!. Even the more popular characters in school are eccentric .

Current readings are: 20% Foxglove Summer by Ben Aaronovitch (PC Peter Grant/Rivers of London #5). Very different change of scenery, with PC Peter Grant in rural Herefordshire. 70% Komi Can’t Communicate 1# - Tomohito Oda 2% Nature’s Mutiny; How the Little Ice Age Transformed the West and Shaped the Present by Philipp Blom

Take Me Out - Franz Ferdinand

Driving Away From Home - It’s Immaterial

That just about the sum of his “humour” I must say I find Hawks really annoying, just listening to his voice grates....

Finished listening to Broken Homes (Rivers of London #4) by Ben Aaronovitch last night. It was brilliant!!! So the next two of the Rivers of London series 5 and 6 are Kindle versions, and after Broken Homes was so good, I’ll just start Foxglove Summer next.

Bailey's & ice

The 2nd & 3rd have very good storylines.

The narration is excellent, and I would definitely recommend the Audible Rivers of London series.

Thanks, I've got my £3.00 voucher now. Just to let anyone that the credit will expire on 11:59 PM (GMT) on 26 December 2020.
