We went to the library today taking back a load of books and came home with more. I rechecked A Great Reckoning by Louise Penny. I am determined to finish the book. I'm loving it but I can't seem to find time to read. I found another by Anne Perry who is one of my favorite authors. It's still cold outside so I plan to kick back and read this weekend. What are you reading.

I just read "The Woman on the Orient Express." It is a fictionalized account of Agatha Christie during the time between her two marriages. I loved the book.

I'm not sure but I believe I've read it. I have so many of Agatha Christies books. But probably not if its by another author. I've read Agatha Christie books for years.

I don't think I've ever been without a book I'm reading. I'm a bookworm.

@RubyHawk If I have the time, my friend. I will try to catch up on reading. I wanted to have my own mini-library in the future.

Oh I'm in the middle of this 700 page book that is frustrating me! I liked the story initially and then it changed a bit and I put it down and now I'm not sure I want to finish it. I need to make a decision tomorrow whether to forge ahead with it or forget it and start a shorter one!

@RubyHawk Well, I've started another one and wouldn't you know it? It's the same kind of story, although much shorter, and it did the exact same thing! Began really interesting and suddenly characters were killed off and the story completely changed! Deja vu! Thankfully, I had a good movie to watch!

@CRK109 I started one yesterday that looked like it would be light and cheerful but its the opposite. Sometimes I want something to make me laugh. The book is by Cathleen Schine. Do you know her books.

Sometimes I start a book that I thought I would love an then find it not so interesting but I usually finish it. It's a waste of time though when you know you don't like it.

I just picked up The Year of Living Danishly again. I didn't manage to finish it when I had it before and couldn't renew it as it was requested by several others.

@Marty1 This book is by Helen Russell. It is an English couple moving to Denmark and learning their way of life compared to what they were used to. The full title is: The Year of Living Danishly - Uncovering the secrets of the World's Happiest Country. That year of clutter free looks good!

You sound like me Ruby, I borrow far more books than I can ever read in the allocated time. At the moment I'm reading an e-book novel by an Australian author I've just been introduced to.

I always borrow more than I can read. I don't really like Ebooks but I do have one that my grandson wrote. I'd rather read books with pages to turn.

I'm reading (...and re-reading...) the proof of my book before I release is on amazon. After having edited it half a dozen times, I'm at least whittling down the mistakes, but I'm annoyed there are still so many.
