If a book really holds my attention I'm like that. I'm a restless reader, I tend to skip over paragraphs and sometimes whole chapters if a book is really awful but I want to know the ending. I might get an old favourite off the shelf and see if it motivates me.

I'm currently re-reading The Box of Delights and The Fellowship of the Ring.

It's only when you say them together it sounds like pure filth

Plus I always have a poetry book by the bed as I like to read one or two occasionally before I fall asleep, depending on my mood.

That's partly my problem, but I can't focus on written books for long enough, so it has to be audio or nothing.

I've not long finished "After". It's about first hand accounts and research into Near Death Experiences. What people "see" just before a serious accident/incident and the life reviews they see in those split seconds. I find it really fascinating.

I'm in the same predicament. I know I'm going to enjoy them all but it depends what mood I'm in as to whether I'll get into it enough to want to finish it.

I have set a goal today. I am going to clear the dead leaves from the strawberry plants this week but also make a point of reading for at least one hour a day.

Anything by Martina Cole, the Lady-killer and Broken are the two standout ones, but they're nearly all great! In a similar vein, Kimberly Chambers "Butler's / Mitchell's" set is a real treat.

That was the length of to read list around end of last year. Took a resolution to finish them all before adding a new book to the list. Just two more remaining to reach the goal.

Yes now, but the first 5 were all standout, and every now and then she hits form again.

22 Acacia Ave, Preston-for now

Frankenstein by Dean R Koontz.

Set in the future (now to be exact) and much about his years of isolation and wanted for various murders.

Pretty good and tend to feel sorry for him.

I am a big fan of the author and if you ever see a edition of Lightning, get it !
