What are you reading?

Posted by alive @alive, Jan 9, 2022

What books do you want to read this year? I’ve just gotten on a waitlist at my local library to borrow Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals. There are 7 copies available and I’m 42nd on the list, so I should be able to get this book by the end of the year. 😂

I am currently reading books by Ann Tatlock and Mesu Andrews and Tessa Afshar. My main genre is Christian fiction and Christian historical fiction. I may go back and read books by other authors. I have some cozy authors I like as well. Cleo Coyle, Laura Childs, plus many others.

I love audiobooks too, even more now that glaucom has made my eyesight worse. I check Amazon.com for books with print big enough to read. My kindle cannot handle long books without being recharged. I also check the large print section of our library and a bookstore but uuaally they have books that I am not interested in, Keep talking about audiobooks, I would love to hear about which ones you like.

Hi, Carollee. I borrow books from my local library using an app called Overdrive on my phone,I don't have anything like an iPad. My favorite genre is Christian fiction, but I also like the Mary Russell, Sherlock Holmes series by Laurie R. King, Agatha Christie, and occasionally Ngaio Marsh. But my all-time favorite series is At Home in Mitford by Jan Karon. Dee Henderson, Terri Blackstock, Francine Rivers aand Jerry Jenkins are some of my favorite authors. The Fairlawn series by Angela Hunt is also very good.
For non fiction, I highly recommend Max Lucado, Charles Swindoll, and F. LaGard Smith.
Hope that gives you some ideas. Happy reading!

I am reading The Last White Rose A Novel of Elizabeth of York by Alison Weir. I love reading historical novels & have enjoyed several of Alison's previous books. I'm on a first name basis with our local librarians. Love my books...love my library!

Have you read any of Lauraine Snelling's books? Christian fiction series takes place in Blessing, ND, begins with emigrating from Sweden, I believe. A family one can enjoy getting to know.

We had a trade in bookstore in one of the towns that I lived in and there was a big book case of Agatha Christie. I read the whole book case and got the missing books at the library-read everything by her. I like M.C. Beaton a lot and Maeve Binchey. I read all fo Pear Buck when I was growng up and gave girlfriend severak armloasds of cozies. I am working all of Maeve Binchley's books now. Her books are very heartwarning.

I'm currently reading Verity by Colleen Hoover. I also enjoyed It Ends with Us by same author.

I also liked The Last Flight by Julie Clark. It's a tale of switched identities.

I mispelled a few words, hard to see what I write because of Glaucoma. Hope that you are feeling good today!
