Anna Faversham

Tess of the d'Urbervilles - ah yes. I not only found tears running down my face but I also threw the book across the floor. I have never done this before or since. Some Thomas Hardy books really hurt!

Hide in Time is 0.99 on Amazon until 2nd September Time Travel Romance If you like a romance with a little bit of mystery, a touch of humour and something of the thriller, then please grab a copy and visit another time, another place. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00A3E925M

I know how you feel about life getting in the way of a good read!

I've got this in audio, read by the author - loved it.

One Stolen Kiss - short stories, mixed genres by Anna Faversham Free worldwide until 19th April 2021

I'm like Hux. I stick a post-it note in the front of fiction with the page number and why. It's quite rare though. For non-fiction I do the same but might also pencil mark the exact spot.

Googling it came up with Amazon having a first edition copy for over £700. Going straight to Amazon, they'd never heard of it, so Google it first. If you have a copy, you could be lucky.

I wish I had the time to read all the books, I'd like to. 'How to Read a Book' looked right up my street and it led me on to another 'How to be a Brit'. I read the sample and it's well worth a read to find out what others notice about the Brits.

Thanks for all these alerts.

A big welcome to all you refugees! It's very friendly here and I'm sure you'll get to feel part of the forum soon.

There's a few of us regular lurkers...

A Poem for Every Day of the Year - Edited by Allie Esiri I've got two of these books and they're great to dip into if you're busy. The introduction for 31st December starts by saying 'New Year's Eve is a time for parties and festivities, singing and dancing...' Huh! However, the last verse of Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem contains the words 'Ring out the darkness of the land,' Maybe that's a good idea!

All the kindle books in my Dark Moon Series are 0.99p on Amazon until 6th January 2021. All set in Kent and the Isle of Wight. The one set on the Isle of Wight was the winner in the Best Historical Fiction category in the Bards and Sages 2018 eFestival of Words. I wish you all a happy, healthy and safe new year and I hope you'll love every book you choose to read!

Far From the Madding Crowd was on TV not so long ago and I loved it, but still there were parts where I yearned for a better outcome. I guess the author was a man of his tough times.

I've been wading my way through box sets and long series like my current one - Morse. It's yonks since I watched Morse and I always used to fall asleep before the ending so I never knew whodunnit, now, thanks to lockdown, I can find out the culprit.

Yes, lockdown has given me more time for all things reading and writing but I could still do with more! Your books look interesting.

Hi Katty, join the club - the club with a lot of people who probably can say the same as you - we have long tbr lists - I certainly have. During lockdown I made a little progress - I read two. And I love reading, I just don't get time. I do listen to books though. Anna

Your post would have been removed, Phil, if it was not allowed. I expect you love to read books too!

Hope you enjoy your time on the forum.

Crikey, sorry, I'd no idea the attachment was going to be so huge. I thought I'd add some colour... Should I take it down?

'Immortality: This is Probably a Novel' by Anna Faversham is 0.99 on Amazon as an ebook until 16th August or FREE for Kindle Unlimited members. If a stranger said to you, “Let me take you to the world’s best kept secret,” would you go? Chester was not given the choice and he’d much rather be with Kate, the woman he loves and has left behind. In fear of his life, he is hiding in a remote cabin in New Zealand, so who is this person and what is this secret? You are invited into a mystery: intriguing, exciting and deadly. Powerful, moving and thought provoking.

I've just finished a book by Michael Ward. I think it is his first book. I was amazed; it had me gripped from the very first page. It's very like C.J. Sansom. I highly recommend it if you like historical mysteries/thrillers.

My book, Under a Dark Star, the second book in The Dark Moon Trilogy, is FREE WORLDWIDE on Amazon until 6th June. International link to Amazon http://authl.it/B01L75OPJ8?d On an island off the south coast of England, there are activities worse than smuggling and all the conflict points to one cruel and ruthless man. The women on the island call him the Dark Star. It's not necessary to read the first book but it is a bit like having the strawberries and cream before the main course.
