    I am into a little light relief just now .... a buddy gave me a bunch of Di Morrisey books to read & i have finished about 6 so far ..... got 7 more to go!!  Get light reading!

    And they all have different story lines - she does good research on her stories!

    Oh my gosh @Wendy55, what an exquisite piece of writing. Thank you for drawing our attention to it.

    It is about a death, so avoid if you're feeling sensitive at the moment.

    I use Goodreads a lot @SoldierCrab - mostly for reviews on books that I purchase for work.  Interestingly, lots of the students who get into reading use it, too.

    Sounds like a good one @Hankster

    Just read the article - reminded me so much of seeing my FIL go earlier this year after being nursed in the final weeks at home.  That book could be an interesting read, too.

    Yes, I do. Tracking the number of books I've read this year. Over 80 and still going!

    I'm also part of Net Galley which offers pre-release books for free in exchange for reviews.

    I used to be an avid reader but can no longer concentrate as much .  I have found mixing up between a book and an audiobook works for me.  It is also great to listen to a book while driving on long trips.  I just finished the truth about the Harry qubert affair which was very good. As an audio book working class man and the happiness refugee are great to listen too as they are actually read by the authors.  Jimmy Barnes is intense and Anh doh is hilarious

    I finally read Leigh Sales "Any Ordinary Day" on the weekend.  It's an easy read and interesting in the light of any personal traumatic experience.  I would definitely recommend it.  I did note a para to report on (p. 176, I think) but forgot to record it and now have passed the book on to a colleague.  Oops!

    @sarnicad Do you find it's just a bit hard to put down?
