Bookworms unite
When I flew to QLD for Summit, I sat down next to a lovely lady who turned out to be an avid reader, like me. The only thing I like almost as much as reading is talking about books. Any other ...
I grew up in a home with a room called the library!
My mother now volunteers for Lifeline sorting the books for their big book sales, in fact she is there this weekend at Knox school in Wahroonga where they have their biggest sale of the year.
Sadly I could not be there to help her this year to set up as I was still suffering the effects of chemo, I usually come home with a big bag full.
Mum does however select books for me all year, I have a stack waiting to be read, usually ones I would not have picked up myself but turn out to be great reads.
I like John Grisham, Dick Francis (and now co written with his son Felix Francis) murder mystery stories centred around horse racing in England.
I still enjoy a Georgette Heyer romance, and "The Cat Who" books, which although they are mystery stories are a light easy read and a bit quirky, they are centred around two Siamese cats.
