Ups , downs, but always a few positives to carry into the new year, I think & hope for everyone.
Thank you @gennepherGreat little sketch @dunelm
The 4th book is even worse than the 3rd. The "Enid Blyton" books sound interesting.I gave up on Richard Osman's books really on the 2nd Thursday Murder Club but bought the third one just to make sure. That sealed it! Better off with Enid Blyton. Or one of my other favourite books as a child - P C Wren's Beau Geste. The new "Enid Blyton" books, by the way, are written by someone called Bruce Vincent. Not an author I'd heard of, but I will get around to reading at least one of the four.
part of my chrimbo pressies is an Amazon voucher. So I get some e books, so far Jodi Taylor's Christmas day short story and Angela Marsons latest Kim stone detective series #19.Another relaxing day - reading, drinking coffee and dog walking.
I started reading Richard Osman's latest book. I do hate givIng up on a book but just couldn't continue reading it as it was so rubbish. It had lots of good reviews on Amazon which was a bit puzzling.
Luckily Mr K had just finished the latest Peter James book. Have started reading it and Mr K is right - it is a much better book.
Great to get an Amazon voucher as a pressie.. I do really like detective series. Haven't read the Kim Stone detective series yet.part of my chrimbo pressies is an Amazon voucher.

I have thought about Osmans third in the series but the price is a bit hefty.
The Osman book. Not worth half the price!part of my chrimbo pressies is an Amazon voucher. So I get some e books, so far Jodi Taylor's Christmas day short story and Angela Marsons latest Kim stone detective series #19.

There must be a go to book for you to enjoy.The Osman book. Not worth half the price!
Just had a quick look at the first of the Famous Five books. First 2 chapters took about 3 minutes to read (very short, as the original Blyton books) and were extremely irritating. Don't feel like reading any more.
Edit: oh dear, I do sound like an old misery.
Yes, I've just gone back to my Canterbury Tales. Guess I'm just old-fashioned (medieval).There must be a go to book for you to enjoy.
As a bit of a fan of an author, a short story always does the trick for me, or getting into a old favourite.
it's not like you don't have a choice!
I have just got through a what if series again!
Clearing the time for the latest lot of reading to read.
I do hate that feeling, that frustration of a bad book!
Thank you, Ian for the painting compliment.@gennepher and @dunelm thank you both for sharing your wonderful art. @jjraak good end of term report. In the old days you could perhaps have expected a racing bike but peace within one's own skin is reward enough. Interesting seasonal Lithuanian food and thought provoking customs learned as well as lots to ponder on and "unpack" - from the last few days. @gennepher interestingly no badger in today's video.
You definitely don't sound like an old misery @Annb. I agree that the Osman book wasn't worth half the price.The Osman book. Not worth half the price!

The last autobiography I read was Bonnington's. I thought what a selfish guy he was and what a wonderful first wife he had, who died of a horrid illness.You definitely don't sound like an old misery @Annb. I agree that the Osman book wasn't worth half the price.
The modern English edition of the Canterbury Tales is fun but not half as much of a sense of achievement as reading it in Chaucer's English. Still hard to put down though.Yes, I've just gone back to my Canterbury Tales. Guess I'm just old-fashioned (medieval).
