Even got my friend toying with the idea of buying me a book for my birthday

Hiya I found for me the best thing I did was join the library. That way I could take a few books and see if I liked the author's style and then reserve more from the same person.

You say you liked horror, what other genres have you tried?

I used to read Dean Koontz, Steven King, Peter Straub, James Herbert but got bored as everything seemed the same. I now just wander around the library looking for anything that jumps out of me. From this I have started to read anything and everything. Give anything a go. (I dont like biographies, yawn)

Yes I love getting books for my birthday and I've got a kindle fire

I dont have a kindle - I had a Sony version of an e-reader. (obsolete now) Hubby bought one too but his broke so he now has mine as I prefer to read books in their paper form. Pity as I have about 30,000 books on my hard drive

Oh no you should buy one as well

Perhaps an idea for the festive period present. I've had my birthday presents off hubby (using one, the other will be wrapped now I know it works)

Just finished 'Children of Men' by P.D. James. Having never read any of James' books before (always thought they were crime fiction, not a genre I like) I enjoyed it. I do like Dystopian stuff like this and a couple of times my heart has been racing while the characters found themselves in danger. Perhaps there should be a warning label 'Care should be taken, this story may raise your blood glucose levels'.

Is that the same as the film called Children of Men about how civilisation is petering out as no-one is becoming pregnant and the youngest person has just died?

I'm not going to give any more away

 

[wolfie11969]

I've finished the Clifton Chronicles - ok series but I wont be buying them.

I've also just finished the Ferry Girls and now reading the Canary girls by same author. Both set in WWII.

I have on the side another of the Emma Harte series by Barbara Taylor Bradford. This is the penultimate one.

I've also brought back downstairs a book I'm halfway through by Diana Gabaldon and it's from the Outlander series. I've loved her other books but found this one a bit tedious. I need to read it though to move onto the others in the series.

Aye, that's the one. Not seen the movie.

Just started 'War of the Worlds' by Wells, never read this book before, will be interesting to note the differences to the films.

I have been rereading old favorite tea-cosy mysteries. I just finished one by Charlotte MacLeod, set in Boston, MA. Before that I reread one set at Tanglewood. I've been borrowing them as ebooks from openlibrary.com to read on my Nook. They also have Susannah Stacey, Susan B. Kelly, and Dorothy Sayers.

One of the few kindle ebooks that I have read since my library days.
As usual the book is far superior to the film's, which were Americanized, for movie fans.

Was going to get the Clifton chronicles, the latest, This was a man.
How was it?. Has Archer ran out of ideas?
Nearly finished 'Second contact' not as good as the first!

It just finishes the story off for you. I wont give anything away but I'd read it for completion
