Re reading (true blood) sookie stackhouse series currently. And after im going to see about re reading Mecedes Lackey valdemar series. I would love to find some more similar authors. My favourite being the Green Rider series by Kristin Britan and I've read through Sara Douglas as well. A strong, Smart, female warrior seems to be my theme when selecting books.

I'm really enjoying his books and trying to read as many of them as I can. He has some great characters.
He has some really unforgettable characters. "Mrs. Slightaskew in 'Nicholas Nickleby," and, one of my favourites, "Mr Mcawber," from the wonderful, "David Copperfield! I hope you find a smidgen of the joy I got when reading a novel by Mr. Dickens for the first time and meeting yet more wonderful characters.

Always on for a chat about Dickens and his characters!!!

I had to open my Kindle to see what the title is: Without Merit by Colleen Hoover. I am using the audio version, and I keep going to sleep, so my opinion of it is pretty useless at this point.

I rarely read hard print these days, as my vision is not what it used to be. However, I did get the print version of Peter the Great by Robert K. Massie this week. We are going to Russia in July (unless I get depressed and cancel, as I always want to do), and we'll be spending several days in St. Petersburgh, so I guess this is my effort to brush up.

Next in line for audio is The Last Tudor by Philippa Gregory, which is about Lady Jane Grey, one of the hapless wives of Henry VIII. I check out audiobooks from our public library---free and everything is done online. Actually, I have come to prefer audio, as I can play sudoku or some other game on my Kindle while listening to the book. And the audios do help me go to sleep. I began doing that when my mother was in her last illness, and listening to books at night gave me something to think about instead of worrying about her situation.

The White Darkness by David Grann. Just began today. About obsessions with geographical polar exploration and with the duplication of previous expeditions that failed. These Brits were nobles in title and character-----"We'll die like gentlemen" was the last entry in one explorer's log---but they were also megalomaniacal (I like to throw that word out there occasionally, said in bouncing baritone) and every bit as crazy as I am in their obsessions.

I am enjoying the audiotape version, which is read by the actor Will Patton. (I get ebooks and audiobooks from our local library and from another library in our county----totally free, no late fees because they get checked in automatically when they are due, and all done without a trip to an actual building.)

2 books: The Glory Game which is an all-access look at Tottenham Hotspur's 1971-72 season. I'm also reading The Roots of Nazi Psychology. Been reading the first one when I'm out and the second one at home because I'm a tiny bit worried about getting funny looks for reading a book with "Nazi" in the title, even though it doesn't espouse that ideology in any way.
