I am enjoying reading Jane Austen's Persuasion, but I had forgotten how much you have to concentrate with Jane Austen's writing style. So I have started another book, something in the vein of light reading. Crocodiles on the Sandbank by Elizabeth Peters is great for a relaxing read, before bedtime.

Hi Athena . Thanks, I am feeling good. I haven't been with the BCF for a while, but I'm hoping to be more sociable again!

Started reading Jane Austen's Persuasion last night. I have seen the film version a few times, but now I'm trying the book. Finished The Case of the Gilded Fly (Gervase Fen #1) by Edmund Crispin. A Golden Age of Crime Mystery, first published 1944. Really enjoyed this book, so the Gervase Fen #2 will be next from the library.

DVD of Zootropolis. And the best part was the sloths!! XD

Episodes 2 & 3 of War and Peace, and they were great!

Party Fears Two - The Associates

I felt this one was such a let down too.

No Woman No Cry - Bob Marley and The Wailers

At the moment my favourites are Barbara Pym and Margaret Atwood.

Episodes 1 & 2 of recent BBC's War and Peace - not sure if I'm enjoying it so far....

In bed, reading from my Kindle. Usually read for an hour, or less if I start to get drowsy. It's very soothing for me to read just before sleeping.

Hello Vanessa, and welcome to the BCF.

Hello and welcome!

Ooh, some lovely children's books . I bought The Phantom Tollbooth for 99p!

Only 20ish pages of Alexander McCall Smith's Love Over Scotland, so I should finish that one this evening. After that, it's time to read....well, I should read some more of Middlesex, but my reading mojo is too skittish at the moment, and this book is not for me at the moment . Sometime for light reading, I think, so I'll carry on with Angela Thirkell's Cheerfulnes Breaks In.

Ooh, a read-a-thon this weekend! I will participate too, as I should have plenty of reading time . Happy reading folks!!

28% of Jeffrey Eugenides' Middlesex so far . Plus Love Over Scotland (44 Scotland Street #3) by Alexander McCall Smith, as light reading.

Hello and welcome to the forum!

Huh? Bob Dylan gets the Nobel prize for literature....... *scratches head in disbelief*

Wow! That's wonderful, to get so far with Proust!

I am trying the free month, and I'm loving it already, and my wishlist is getting to the stage that I'll try for the subscription. It's great to chop and change from eBook to audiobook, and I have bought two of the Daily Deals as well.

Hallelujah Chicken Run Band (great name for the band!! )

Ooh yes, I loved A Tale for the Time Being , and it just gets better as it goes along! I agree too, EMP is one of the best books EVER!! Finished reading/listened to Ben Aaronovitch's Rivers of London - good stuff!! , and will listen to PC Peter Grant series #2 Moon over Soho soon. Also reading at the mo. is An Incomplete Revenge (Maisie Dobbs #5)

Oooh, Mokka is such a cutie-pie!!, especially with one ear up, and the other one floppy

I have half a dozen books currently currently reading , but the only one of them that I can get into is Jeffrey Eugenides' Middlesex,and I'm loving it!!
