@Albus_Scope are you on Audible? What kinds of audiobooks are in your collection?
I only know one person IRL who likes audiobooks - my sister, and she's the one who kept urging me to try. She's been an avid reader since she was a little kid.

The book is in no way 'high brow', as if it were, I wouldn't be reading it! I just thought it was probably a bit niche.
I'm only reading it because my daughter bought me it for my last birthday. I wouldn't have chosen it.
Actually, it's growing on me. I find it amusing that they considered anything post Chaucer as modern!

The Midnight Folk, and The Box Of Delights by John Masefield. For children, and i read them both to mine.
There are some children's novels i can still read, especially if I grew up reading them!

I am on Audible @StarryEyed I've got quite the collection of audiobooks now thanks to their sales, but they're mostly sci-fi or self help books. Many of my friends like audiobooks for relaxing in the bath, or when they're driving.
I prefer audiobooks now, as I find it hard to concentrate for too long with books, plus I'm staring at screens all day, so it's nice to give my eyes a break.
The Midnight Folk is such a classic @Chris75_ can't go wrong with that one on a dark night. 😁

I remember the children's tv adaption of The Box Of Delights, and i have a copy on dvd. Both my daughters enjoyed it growing up. I imagine The Midnight Folk was too daunting a prospect for tv in the mid 1980s.

Oh I remember that series @Chris75_!
A friend told me Amazon Video now has all of Jim Henson's The Storyteller, so I may go take a trip down memory lane tonight. Even if some of the puppets did freak me out a bit.

I bought my sister the Pumpkin Spice Cafe by Laurie Gilmore for her birthday as she was going on holiday, thought it was a romance set around a cafe. Oh my she said it was a fabulous but a bit spicy in a different way. So I have downloaded it onto my kindle ha ha.

Someone mentioned T.J. Klune, I've got Under The Whispering Door waiting for me, but haven't started it yet. Is it any good?
I've just finished The Frozen People by Elly Griffiths that is a whodunit with a time-travelling aspect. Her books are always a pleasure to read.
And Tara Brach's Radical Compassion is on its way to me. For this I am hoping to find a book buddy…
And for those who love to read but not that much money to spend on books I can recommend Netgalley - both co dot uk and dot com. Being new means I cannot share URLs just yet.

I’ve recently read this. It’s a bit confusing with going back and forward in time but once I got the hang of it I really enjoyed it

I've just finished The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware and I gave it a solid 3.75/5 on Storygraph!
I can't decide what to read next, it is between The Couple at No 9 but Claire Douglas or Animals by Emma Jane Unsworth….has anybody read any of these before?0 -
Oooh what did you like about it @Kookee?
I read Emma's latest book about 2 months ago (the title I can't type on here as it goes against OSA guidelines 😄 but I hope you know what book I mean😄) and really enjoyed that! Have you read that too?0 -
Ah that sounds right up by street @Kookee, think it'll have to be my next read now!
Me too, I really like a youtuber called WhatRaeReads that I will link too, she creates videos on weird books recommendations and a lot of the book she recommends have been really good so far😊0 -
Oooh Sir Anthony Hopkins' memoir, 'We did OK kid' is being published. I like him but never seen his films.
He's on BBC2 1930hrs on Weds, 'A Career in Character'.

I have lots to catch up on! I'm in a bit of a reading lull. I started reading Now You See Me by Sharon Bolton but only made it about 50 pages in and I haven't read in a couple of weeks. I'll make a list of what you're all reading and find something to get me back into it. I miss my cosy evenings reading!
