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. Quote
Athena Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 I'd love to see some pictures when you get your books . LOL Xiao-Xiao . Quote

Little Pixie Posted October 10, 2017 Author 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. Quote
Little Pixie Posted October 10, 2017 Author Posted October 10, 2017 Also, here`s tonight`s sunset : Quote

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. Quote

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 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 ).

Anna Begins Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 Let me know how you like Unlimited, but Amazon takes too much of my $$ as it is Quote

The main ones I've taken - plus Psychologies magazine - are ones I've wanted to read for ages. I'm also hoping it'll make me get back properly into reading, since I have three months to read lots for free. Quote

Little Pixie Posted October 23, 2017 Author 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.

You read a TON I know what you mean, but I feel it`s in the doldrums lately. I was managing 15+ books per month, and lately, I`ve struggled to complete 1-2 books per month. Still,I have some goodies to get to ,soon. Quote

I loved the Julie & Julia book ; Julie came across as so real and funny. I'm tempted by her follow-up book, Cleaving. Quote
