Must try harder!

Library authorities use various platforms to deliver their elibraries including borrowbox, Libby, uLIBRARY.

I enjoy reading books whenever I can but I also try to have an ebook in the go, you never know when you might have a spare couple of minutes - waiting in a supermarket queue and aAudiobooks are invaluable when I am doing housework.

Good morning and happy Sunday ☕️📚
I missed replying to all the book talk, but have read all your replies. I love it when a theme takes off and seeing what everyone enjoys 😁 I haven’t tried audio books but MrWW has them for in his car. I enjoy them then, so might have to branch out for listening while I’m doing other things.
Today the decorations came down and are all put away. I did spend as have ordered a winterish wreath for the door now the Christmas one has come down. I have an autumn one and plan to get them for each season. They are very hardy and will come out every year, so quite MSE. Much better than leaving the bare hook on the door. 

I had a win yesterday as saw a banner on Amzn to opt in and if you spend £15 on kindle you get £5 to spend on more books. I opted in and found I’d already spent enough and got the £5 straight away and also another one from I presume the month before! So I ordered the next three kindles in the series I’m reading for under £2. It’s the Blood Trails series by Jennifer Blackstream. They aren’t going to win any awards, but they are fun, engaging and easy reading. 

I hope you are all having lovely days 📚☕️🍫

I have no idea how borrowbox works but audiobooks could be good for my commute to and from
work.

Borrowbox is the library service audio books app. Very easy to use. I don't listen enough to pay for audible so it's a good free alternative for me.

BBC Sounds app often has audio books and it’s free, worth a browse.

Up to page 14 @WinterWarrior I am being sucked in to the talk of snacking chocolate and crafting. Have to get it out there that I've never read Terry prachett but did enjoy the TV versions so maybe I need to add them to a list of tbr. Since being with Mr M_F I've not done much fiction reading but keep saying I need to get back into it.

What do you like to read @moving_forward?

Page 20 so far!
I read lots of personal finance books

Cook books

Gardening

Home decor if you can call that reading

Craft books 
Just not much fiction in the past few years. I used to like action adventure spy types what you think of as men's books

 Think Clive Cussler Colin Forbes and the like. Loved the vampire chronicles until they started getting a bit too sexy if you know what I mean. Also like the shopoholic series by Sophie kinsella and of course bridget Jones. I used to read the kind of books that get turned into films and then moan the film's ruined the books.
I don't have alot of time for reading so enjoy this site but I do want to get back into proper books. I remember a book called moon over the water I read as a teenager. I loved that book I must see if I can get a copy. It was set in the time of king Richard the lion heart.
Thank you @WinterWarrior you have made me think Of what I used to love and it's really made me think I need to make the time x

@moving_forward was it by Pamela Belle? I used to have that book. I still have the Wintercombe books…the first one (the one called Wintercombe) is one of my all time favourites and is falling to bits…I’ve been reading it for 30 years 😬 I love a lot of different genres and a good battle too. I really like Lee Child and the Jack Reachers…I think I’m a secret rebel as I love people who have their own idea of justice. 

I know what you mean about films from books…I’m always complaining about the wrong hair colours, etc. Don’t get me started on The Bone Collector…I love that book (and book series), but they changed sexes and colours without a by your leave..grrrr 😬

And Kiss the Girls film was nowhere near as horrific as the book. That book preyed on my mind for ages 😱

Oh yes Pamela belle! Wow can't believe you know it. Not sure I read wintercombe but I shall look it up.
As for wrong hair colours lestat was a six foot something vampire with blond hair and he got played by shortie tom cruise! Brunette forgivable but drawf nope 😤
