Recent read.....

Hi everyone, if you

enjoy reading Danielle Steele, you

might like to try....

 

The J. M. Barrie Ladies' Swimming Society

by

Barbara J. Zitwer.

 

This was my second time reading

this book, and I enjoyed it just as

much as the first time.

 

Let me know what

you think :)

 

Happy reading, Jenny

 



 

Update.....Robert Galbraith book.....

Hi everyone, I hope

your week has been a good one.

 

In my last post, I mentioned

I was going to read the book by

Robert Galbraith... aka J. K. Rowling.

 

It's taken a bit of perseverance

for the first 20 odd pages because of the

pace, but I stuck with it a bit longer than that.

 

Admittedly, I'm possibly

being a bit prud-ish, but I'm

finding the language a bit off-putting, so

I think you will have to read it

yourselves to decide if

it is a book you would

recommend to others or not.

 

Whatever you're

reading, I hope you

have a lovely weekend.

 

Happy reading,  Jenny :)

 

 



A.K.A......

Hi readers, I hope

you all had a lovely weekend.

 

I've noticed some controversy

has stirred up again about the

author......

J.K. Rowling

of Harry Potter book fame, as her

second book is published

under the pseudonym....

Robert Galbraith.

 

The books written

as Robert Galbraith are aimed

for adults, and are

detective/mystery novels.

(I have just

requested one from

the library to see

what they are like.)

 

Now that it is common

knowledge that the two authors

mentioned above are

one and the same, I can understand

her using a different name -

imagine if

Fifty Shades of Grey

had been written by

Enid Blyton, Dr. Seuss,

or C.S. Lewis....

how would you explain to

kids that they aren't allowed to

read a book by their

favourite author?!!!!!!!

 

(Before I go, in case you

were wondering, no, I haven't read

Fifty Shades)

 

On that note, I hope

you have a lovely week, and

manage to find some

time to read :)

 

Happy reading, Jenny

 

 



Books written by Archer.....



Hi I readers, I hope

your week is

going well.

 

This post is a

little bit of trivia for

readers who enjoy books like

Shall we tell the President?

by Jeffrey Archer .

 

My reason for

posting about this author, is

because there are

TWO authors with the

surname Archer....

the other one is

Geoffrey Archer.

 

I have to admit, I haven't

read books by either one, but

I have noticed many people

are unaware there are two!

 

I'm posting this to

suggest you try them both

and see what you think - not to

suggest one author

in preference to another!

 

I hope this has

been of interest to someone

out there :)

 

In the meantime,

happy reading,  Jenny

 

 

Recent read.....

Hi readers,

I have just finished reading

the latest title of

the Bob Skinner series by

Quentin Jardine.

 

This series started with

Skinner's Rules, and

are murder/mystery novels set in

Scotland.

 

The most recent book in the series is called...

Hour of Darkness.

 

The books can be read as

'stand alone' books, but if you

prefer to read them in sequence, the

story continues from book to book

with his daughter growing up, etc. and

promotions of police officers.

 

If I had to offer a similarity to give you

an idea what the books are like, I would

have to say the t.v. show

'Dalziel and Pascoe'

which has been on the A.B.C.

over the years.

 

Hopefully this will

give you an idea what to

expect before adding them to

your list of new authors

to try.

 

Let me know what

you think :)

 

Happy reading,  Jenny

 

 

 



Dear Followers.......

yes, it's me!

 

As you know, I have taken

a considerable break from blogging,

and my computer.

 

What have I been doing? 

Quite a lot of reading.

I still feel hesitant about

getting back to my craft blog, and

travelling around 'Blog land', but

given my love of books, I have decided

to change this blog from

craft based, and use it to let people know

about books I have read.

 

Apologies for not visiting

you in the land of 'Blog'.

As I said earlier, I'm still not ready to

commit to blogging full on, and

will only be adding posts to this blog from

time to time, but thought you might like to know

what is going on when you

notice new posts!

 

I do plan to make some changes, and

mention some of my 'reading material' posts

from time to time.  I also plan to reply to

comments on my blog, but am still on

'vacation mode' as far as travel around

'Blog land' is concerned.

 

I think that covers

everything!  I hope everyone

is keeping well., and

having a lovely weekend.

 

In the meantime, best wishes, and

happy reading,  Jenny
