Ok, whats everyone reading now, and how are you liking it, would you recommend it?
I am re-reading Stephen Kings' "The Stand", I read it years ago as a young teen, and it went over my head, so I thought I'd give it another shot, now that Im older and wiser(?). Wish Me Luck! S.

Small Plates: Sort Fiction by Katherine Hall Page. Easy reading. Love all the options from all of you. Staying home alone, I'm running out of interesting ways to pass the time. Reading is my best choice over computer games and TV. Thanks! Reply #1461. Jul 12 20, 9:21 AM |

Me too, Duchess! Fun Trivia and reading are keeping me going. Our library is open now, but only three days a week. I was lucky in that I had just made a trip before they closed for the lockdown. Quickly ran through those though and turned to eBooks. I've read eBooks before, but mainly only ones I couldn't get from the local library and didn't want to wait for interlibrary loan. Mainly I always used them for audio books. Have you discovered Overdrive? It's great and free! Ebooks, audio books and even video. You just sign up with the library card number from your local library. I think since this Covid-19 stuff started they might not even require that you be a member of a local library, but use an email or phone number or something. Not sure of this though. Here's the link I use, but I think it is only for Alabama.  https://camellia.overdrive.com/You might try finding yours at: https://help.overdrive.com/en-us/home.htmReply #1462. Jul 12 20, 9:57 AM |

For all Sherlock Holmes fans...Sherlock Holmes and the Twelve Days of Christmas by Roger Riccard. Not Conan Doyle, but close to the original. All the regulat characters are present, even the Irregulars. The author is clever at creating a plot around the 12 gifts, I 'm on The Tenth Lord Leaping. I stumbled upon this as a big fan of Sherlock Holmes. It's light reading for Holmes or detective fans. Reply #1466. Oct 12 20, 4:46 PM |

The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. I can't put it down, it is mesmerizing. Part of a tetralogy, it takes the reader on a journey through Barcelona of the 20th century, going back and forth through decades and an intricate web of characters. Reply #1473. Jun 17 21, 4:44 PM |

50 years of free eBooks!! I wanted to share this with all readers. Thanks to the latest Project Gutenberg newsletter - July 4th is the 50th Anniversary of Project Gutenberg. The founder Michael Hart published the first one, The Declaration of Independence, on July 4, 1971. There are now over 65,000 eBooks available in numerous formats and free! An interesting fact which I'm sure I heard but had forgotten: "In 1997, Time-Life magazine picked the movable type printing press as the most important invention of the second millennium."

Not currently reading anything by him, but Sheridan Le Fanu (Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu) was born on this date, August 28, in 1814. Among my favorites of his are Uncle Silas and Wylder's Hand. Many of his works are available free at Project Gutenberg and in audio at LibriVox. Reply #1476. Aug 28 21, 2:02 PM |

The latest Circle of Ceridwen book, which I didn't know existed until months after its publication. It is ripping out my heart. I will need something very light to read after this; perhaps some gentle nonfiction. Reply #1478. Nov 14 21, 6:39 PM |
