I must see about some more book pics when the newbies arrive ; currently, the dining room table is free of books ( because of the electrician coming over and needing to get around in the dining room without being crushed by toppling book piles ) but I don't know how long that will last. Xiao-Xiao is now in the habit of leaping onto the table when her food appears ; I think she hopes to be fed at the table, rather than on the floor.

Little Pixie Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 I had my hair cut yesterday at a friend`s house ; her daughter - who I`m also friends with - was getting rid of some books and I had a bit of a pillage through her collection.

I love taking pictures of sunset and sunrises, though it's sometimes hard to take a good picture as it can be prettier in real life than on camera for some reason.

And I agree ; it`s difficult sometimes to get a wide enough view with sunsets, too. Utterly tipping down today ; Xiao-Xiao just went outside for a few mins, and is shaking her back feet now.

Little Pixie Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) I`ve just taken out a 3-month free Kindle Unlimited subscription ( the Times newpaper has an offer for their subscribers, hurray ). I`ve recently seen a few books whic I wanted to read, which also happened to be free on Kindle unlimited, so thought I`d take out the trial. I`ve downloaded books by Rysa Walker, EE Holmes, Jim Lavene, JR Rain ( cosy mysteries and urban fantasy ). EDIT - I`ve also taken soem of the British Library crime classics - and bought ( for 99p) the latest Death in Paradise book, Death Knocks Twice ( I can`t see it avaailbale on US Kindle, just the UK One ).

Little Pixie Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 The Sons of Adam - Eva Garcia Saenz ( book 2 in the Immortals series ) My first Kindle Unlimited book, it`s the follow- up to The Immortal Collection, and a direct follow-on of the story. The first book dealt with Adriana, a young archaeologist who begins to suspect there`s something odd about the family employing her at the Museum in Santander... Like the first book, the second one isn`t great literature ( but that could be the translation from the Spanish ) but there`s a great storyline, wonderful characters and it`s a brilliant page turner.

I loved the Julie & Julia book ; Julie came across as so real and funny. I'm tempted by her follow-up book, Cleaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
