See, it works! It even makes me look more eloquent than I am, as the trick with the **** stars suggests I know wonderful and very long bad words, appropriate to any situation!

Happy to have made you laugh in between the grumpiness!

I do not watch a lot of telly these days and I'm between books, too. What genre do you do?
 
Well, speaking of snipping replies etc I messed that one up completely... sigh.
 
I am trying to read Mary Kay Andrews' latest middle-aged chick-lit novel but it's not as good as some of her others. I can't even remember the title right off the bat!

I've just finished watching the daily "Tool Time" marathon on TV (10 am - 3 pm) so I'm sort of TV'd out for the day.

I don't have any preferred genres in books. I just finished Michelle Obama's autobiography and was trying some old horse books I missed as a kid, before the Mary Kay Andrews book became available from my public library.
 

I need a break from books on Diabetes/health etc. I'd like to read a really trashy novel of some kind to erm... cleanse the palate, so to speak. My favourite books are historical non fiction but I do not have a new one to hand.
 
I'm catching up on Silent Witness, I like to watch both episodes together.
 
@Guzzler I saw 3 paperbacks at the grocery store earlier this afternoon that might fill the bill for you. If I'd had a spare $20 I might have bought them all. I don't know if they count as "trashy" or just light grocery-store type reading.

One was by Sandra Brown, about a pilot getting involved in a mysterious freight flight and a mystery woman. I can't remember the titles or authors of the other two.

We record it and watch 2 together. We do this with a lot of dramas and TV programmes. I can never remember from one week to the next who is who, who is dead, and what is happening otherwise. When the first series of Broadchurch was on we recorded them all and then watched them all back to back over 2 nights. We do that with a lot of them.
 
Reactions: heh

Love phantasy series, preferably ones with many books, as not to have to think about what to read next. Still coming down from finishing mercedes Lackey's Valdemar series but started Karin Slaughter's books again now. I've read some of them in the past but will read them in the right order this time. After that I think I'll read John Flanagan's books about the Rangers and the Brotherband again. They're supposed to be children's books but who cares. Might do some Stephen King in between, but not the flat out horror books, and/or more children's books. Love the historical romantic phantasy of the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon but waiting for a new book.
And I read 2 magazines regularly: Donald Duck, a Dutch weekly with comics about Donald and Mickey and their families and friends, and Onze Taal, a monthly for language loving nerds.

I'm not a big fan of fantasy but I have read the whole series of GoT twice. It is fun for a history nerd to weedle out the references that GRR Martin weaves into his books.
 
OK, you two, I am off now to look up GRR Martin, John Flanagan, and Karin Slaughter on goodreads.com and the library website.
 
Goodnight all, sleep peacefully. Xx
