    I hope you enjoy the new book @pollyanna1052! 

    I started reading 'It's not okay to feel blue and other lies' at the weekend, a very good book so far!

    i have just finished the Skeleton Crew by Sthephen King on audiobook. its a collection of short stories including The Mist. i think i will try his latest novel, The Institute, next.
    i enjoy his style of writing because he goes into great depth with his character's backgrounds and the scary bits are no too scary or gory.

    i also like the series of books by Kieth C Blackmore narrated by RC Bray, they are post apocalyptic thrillers about small bands of survivors following a zombie apocalypse. they are funny, gory and well written.

    i prefer audiobooks to ctual books because i find it hard on the eyes and difficult to physically hold the books.
     anyone else prefer audiobooks?

    Hi @mrbuttons, I too like audiobooks because I am partially sighted. This means my eyes can very easily become strained. The books you have mentioned sound really interesting!

    Do you have much on your 'to be read' list?

    I've just finished reading a book called the prison doctor and I couldn't put it down, it's fantastic.

    My daughter has got me reading a book called "Vox" with her. It's not my usual read but it's been better than I thought it would be.

    I've heard of that! What was it about?

    I'm reading a book called "The Holiday", because we can all dream!

    I just finished reading Days of Wonder by Keith Stuart. It is about a single working parent and his daughter with a heart problem. If you love romance novels, then I recommend this book.

    The Mirror and the Light by Hilary Mantel. It's the 3rd in the Thomas Cromwell series. Great to have such an absorbing read to fall into at the moment!

    Would recommenced " The spy and the Traitor"  by Ben Macintyre if people enjoy  crime/ spy thrillers-    its based on true events, and is rather cleverly written: Half of it is done as a normal story  and then half is extracts from interviews with the spy who the book is about.

    I've just finished the book I was reading, just trying to decide about what to read next!

    I have been using BorrowBox which means I can loan audio and e-books which has been great during lockdown!
