50something % listened to Whispers Underground (Rivers of London #3). Book started well, but there is a lull at the moment. Hoping things get more interesting. The Thursday Murder Club (50%) is excellent.

It’s on my wishlist for the Kindle. Abigail seems to be a feisty female, who popped into the 2nd & 3rd series, so this novella should be good too.

20% listened to Whispers Underground (Rivers of London #3). Another great story and prefect narration by Kobna Holdbrook-Smith. Also reading The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, and this one is really good too.

Thankfully my reading mojo has improved, so now I'm enjoying Ngaio Marsh's A Man Lay Dead. Unfortunately I'm not enjoying the Audible of Jodi Taylor's The Nothing Girl (Frogmorton Farm #1). Finding most of the characters are grating, and the plot in the same irritation . 56% listened, but I'm getting to the stage where I'm giving this book a rest, and start something new. Probably the next of the Rivers of London series.

Bought Kindle versions of Let's Do It: The Authorised Biography of Victoria Wood by Jasper Rees, and Jeremy Hardy Speaks Volumes: words, wit, wisdom, one-liners and rants. EDIT: it's a grim thought that two of my great heroes/heroines have died, at early ages.

I found it, though it took a few seconds to find it

I bet they’ll be playing this one at lot this Xmas....

So Lonely - The Police

Agatha and the Midnight Murders. Loved it! EDIT - seems that the critics loathed it, but I still loved it!

It’s Too Late - Carole King

*sigh* My reading mojo is on go slow at the mo. Thankfully, I’m enjoying audiobooks (definitely an escapism from the real world) Eoin Colfer - Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony #5 is going really well. I found that the last 2 of the series weren’t as good (The Eternity Code and The Opal Deception). The plots didn’t grab my attention, and the narration by Nathaniel Parker was irritating, and over exaggerated the voices of some of the characters. But this 5th of the series is much better, both plot and narration. Jodi Taylor - The Nothing Girl (Frogmorton Farm #1) is very quirky, but I’m enjoying it..

Two hardback books arrived A Life on Our Planet - My Witness Statement and a Vision for the Future by David Attenborough and Fangs by Sarah Andersen (author of Sarah’s Scribbles). Graphic novel about “a love story between a vampire and a werewolf”.

As it turned out, I didn’t kill myself - The Nothing Girl by Jodi Taylor

Starting Audible version of The Nothing Girl (The Frogmorton Farm Series, Book 1) by Jodi Taylor.

Just ordered the new book from David Attenborough A Life on Our Planet: My Witness Statement and a Vision for the Future from Wordery.

Just finished listening the Audible version of Lissa Evans' V for Victory. Book blurb from Fantastic Fiction It’s late 1944. Hitler’s rockets are raining down on London with vicious regularity and it’s the coldest winter in living memory. The Allies are gaining ground, but victory is certainly dragging its feet. In a large house next to Hampstead Heath, Vee Sedge is barely scraping by with a herd of lodgers to feed and her young charge Noel, almost fifteen now, to clothe and educate. When she witnesses an accident and finds herself in court, the repercussions are both unexpectedly marvelous and potentially disastrous. Because Vee is not actually the person she’s pretending to be, and neither is Noel. This was another excellent novel, and I think that Evans is one of my favourite authors now. Evans is just pipped at the post by Jodi Taylor, but they both have wonderful plots, and great characters. The characters are slightly quirky, but they are usually good people, though many people have been taking advantage of situations during the Blitz. 6 out of 6 This is the 3rd of a trilogy (1# Crooked Heart and 2# Old Baggage) and they are just as good too.

I didn't read that much of the weekend, but did listen to audiobooks. Really enjoying Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony, and hope to finished it today.

Sadly, he's still alive.... (I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks this )
