I should mention, although they've already been brought up the River of London Series, it's sort of like Harry Potter, but with warrant cards, it's also the only series I've ever seen another person reading on the train and been able to have a conversation over.
I think I’ve read one of his books.You and I have quite different likes! As a kid, I was not fortunate enough to have had a book with a button that made a dog bark. (I am more than making up for that now when I'm at work). But I did have a lot of Roald Dahl books. I read The Twits and Fantastic Mr Fox time after time. I loved the way he told stories and Quentin Blake's illustrations. Not sure if they've shaped my character
. I really should try Terry Pratchett. He was British after all. Maybe I'll add it to my bucket list.
I stopped torturing myself - if I can’t get into it after a few pages I don’t bother! There’s an audiobook I borrowed but the voice just put me off. And then another one was all in the first personI finish a novel about every 3 days. The day before lockdown I went to a charity shop and bought a carrier bag full of 50p books as I knew the library books I had wouldn't last long! I am ploughing my way through the bag but I haven't read anything I would recommend. I'm only sticking with these as they are better than nothing. How do people get this rubbish in print, normally I'd have discarded a book I didn't like after a couple of chapters. I'm getting an education in bad novels.
She’s releasing a new one in June. I’ve preordered it. I’d best finish the current one
I've given about a dozen books to a neighbour to read. I usually buy mine from The Works and charity shop them afterwards. You should live nearer!
That's very kind of you. Can you let me know the titles if I haven't read them I can send you the postage or make a donation to TEAS. I am going to donate when we have some money coming in again for Wiebke and Posyrose's walking challenge so could add some extra. Sadly we don't have a TESCO within walking distance and the car needs repairs so is off the road, probably for the duration! How would an ebook or audiobook work we only have a laptop presumably I would download them to this. I read mostly in bed as I am an insomniac, at least the books I've got at the moment are sending me to sleep! I did say to my OH tonight I wish I had bought a kindle when I had the chance but I didn't think I would like reading from a screen.
I have an app that allows me to check out audio books from the Library. It's called Libby. Between that and Overdrive you get SO much!Though I don’t know if free books are being offered.
I’ll let you know the titles later. Send me a message to remind me in case I forget.
I don't have a phone! Sorry I'm sounding very negative, thanks for all the suggestions. We don't have the money for new technology or new books unfortunately. Due to lockdown we are eeking out our savings and wondering if they are going to last long enough.
I thought I had 2-3 other books but I may have given them away. I’ve got books by Karin Slaughter - see below.
I'm curious. But I don't usually like fantasy
. Plus I could count on one hand how many books I've given up on. Don't want to break that mould, but neither do I want to be stuck reading a book I don't like during lockdown!

I love these books and some of his later ones too, Going Postal is a favourite.
We've got lots of the Terry Pratchett books, many of them signed, as he was friends with my mother in law via an online literary forum many, many years ago when forums were a new thing! Might look them out for a bit of light hearted re-reading, I think they are in the bottom of the wardrobe under my emergency hay supplies

I liked the books too. But DON'T DON'T DON'T watch the movies, especially the last one! They changed the book and the story line was flipping weird.I really liked the divergent series

I did think it was odd
The first movie was great. The second one was okay. The third, I almost flipping punch the tv when I was watching it!I watched the movies first
I always read the book first before watching the movies (well apart from The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter because it's a lot
), and I was so disappointed they didn't stick to what happened in the book.
