Love the Ruth Galloway series, but l buy them as second hand paperbacks from Amazon, usually for 1p plus £2.60 p&p.
Started The Case of the Missing Boyfriend by Nick Alexander - I have read some of his books in the past and enjoyed them - it seems a nice light read so far. |

I just finished Disclaimer by Renee Knight, slow meandering start and doesn't pick up the pace for about 100 pages but then starts motoring on quite well - very much enjoyed.
Now started Elizabeth Is Missing I'm currently working my way through Enid Blyton's Malory Towers series which I had loved as a child, and find I still enjoy them! |

I'm listening to Diamond Solitaire by Peter Lovesey, read by Michael Tudor Barnes. I'm very pleased that Audible have released the first three books in the Peter Diamond series at last, hopefully they'll release the rest of the older books soon.
I'm reading The Princess Bride by William Goldman. I don't know how I've managed to miss both the book and the film up until now. Great fun so far. |

The Hunter - Tom Wood
'Jack Reacher meets Thomas Crown' it says on the cover, about an assassin, being hunted by assassins from Russia and CIA. Very exciting, despite an abrupt ending. |

SPQR - A History of Ancient Rome by Mary Beard
I ask because after several hours of excruciating and confusing reading my reader tells me I'm an impressive 8% through this weighty tome. I'm not sure I can contemplate the other 92%! |

I rarely give up on books but at 8% and with it being such a hard slog I probably would.
I can (literally) count on one hand the amount of books I have given up on over the years! I hate giving up on a book and rarely do so, Catch 22 is the only one which has repeatedly beaten me (I think I've had over 10 attempts over the years). Time to move onto something a little lighter |

I struggled through to 11% last night but have lost all interest in it, I don't think I'm in the mood for a heavy, scholarly history book!

I love Catch 22! Must re-read again soon
![]() To be honest I think I've developed a sort of mental block, I approach it knowing full well I've never managed to finish it and resigned to doing the same again. |

Unbelievably (for me as I like the classics) I've never read Wuthering Heights so am putting that right at the moment!

cometh the hour, the new Jeffrey Archer in the seemingly never ending Clifton Chronicles... pretty good so far though I know I'll get frustrated at yet another cliffhanger ending. he's obviously doing something right though as I come back for more each year.

I'm working my way through the Shannara series (yet) again, on audio book this time. Dear me, I can't read/listen to Elfstones without a weep. Every blimming time it gets me, and I always think it won't happen next time, but there I go again.
Scott Brick's narrating them, and he can't half put some emotion into his voice, that man. Oh well, onto Wishsong. Again.
