Finished all my notifications.As I was feeling a little bored with everything,I thought of taking a two week break.
But there is always the possibility that I will come back still bored.
So,I gave up the idea of a break.
Well,as a new start I borrowed a new book from the library.
The name of the book is ''As The Pig Turns''. It is a Agatha Raisin series by M.C.Beaton.I have read some books in the series.
Agatha Raisin is a woman who lives in the Cotswolds and now runs a detective agency. Agatha finds herself investigating the murder of a police officer in the village of Winter Parva.
I have started reading the book and is an easy read as I am familiar with Agatha Raisin from other books in the series.
Anybody reading any interesting books?

@silvermist This is a book for parents and many people are contributed to it. Madhusoodanan Nair, Sugatha Kumari, Vatsala, , C. Radha Krishanan... the list is long. The book published by Balagokulam with the intention of saving the childhood of children. It contains the advises for parents mostly. I loved it. Actually some one forced me to buy as I am working as 'Rakshadhikari' of Balagokulam in our place so this books is meant for teaching children in Balagokulam wise.

I don't seem to find a lot of time to read books. The last one I read was the diary of Anne Frank which my granddaughter brought home from school but that was some time ago, I really should start reading more.

I have read quite a lot of Agatha Raisin books. They really are very entertaining.
I just finished reading "About A Boy" by Nick Hornby, and have started on the sixth book in the Spellman series by Lisa Lutz (love those footnotes!)

@silvermist That's true, but I find when I read as well as write, my 'voice' changes and my characters take on the 'voice' of the author I'm reading. I can't let that happen.

The last book I read was The Secret Holocaust Diaries The Untold Story of Nonna Bannister and it was really intense. I was also reading The Book Theif but I forgot where I was in the book, but it was amazing the first part I read of it.

I have read a few of those mysteries. Both Agatha Raisin and Hammish Macbeth series. They are good when you want a light and fun read. I just took my kids to the library yesterday because my son wanted to get some books to read. I picked up a few for me too. I am going to start a book by Ray Bradbury called Farewell Summer.

@silvermist I didn't realize it was a sequel. 
I don't remember if I read the first one. I will have to look it up. My favorite book by Bradbury is Something Wicked This Way Comes. A very good book that I read when I was a teenager.
