I'm loving them too. I was tempted by the Stand xSeptember 2017 Debt = £25330

The Stand is one of my favourite books ever. I'm a big Stephen King fan generally.
Ann Cleeves has started a new series based in North Devon, there's only one out so far - The Long Call. That was good too. I've read some of the Shetland series, and enjoy those (and the TV programme!).
Robert Galbraith's Strike novels (JK Rowling) are really good too, and the latest one has just come out.
Glad you had a nice relaxing weekend

Must admit I like a long book.
What's the audio like? I have a couple of 'audio' credits at the moment, but I find some of them so flat I can't be bothered listening to them! Mind you it may be just me. I've been reading for over 65 years and I'm not used to listening instead.
I Believe.....
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.
happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy6 -
I've been watching the news Hairy and thought of you. Hope your OH can claim the new grant for the Self employed. They've finally improved it!I Believe.....

Just popping in to say that I finished listening to the latest strike book last night. It is read by Robert Glenister who I think does a brilliant narration. It is v long but very compelling and I think possibly the best book yet in the series.Hope you have a good half term
