Gold star Nellie !
I have been listening rather than reading. I am alternating between the historical Gil Cunningham crime books set around Glasgow and the new Faith Martin series Ryder and Loveday. I reheard the whole of my Paul Temple , Ngiao Marsh, Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister in early lockdown as an alternative to lockdown comfort food. I find literature soothing when there is ‘stuff’ going on.

I don't know if you have come across The Freeman Files, FP but they are cold cases and similar to the Faith Martin books, I have found them really enjoyable.

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

Since the lockdown started, I’ve read no books at all. 😳 O_o

I don't think I have ever gone a day without reading since I was 3 years old unless you count the days I was in a coma after giving birth to number 5... uns2

I can’t exist properly without literature to hand. I have been making videos for my granddaughter when we were not able to see her - ‘Poetry Time With Grandma’. Edward Lear, Walter de la Mare’s ‘ Peacock Pie’, Michael Rosen’s ‘A Great Big Cuddle’. She watches them in her bath. I can’t wait to share the Milly Molly Mandy books and ‘My Naughty Little Sister’ with her. Actually I have a huge list of books to read to her!

I read Gone With the Wind when I was 9 and was “glued” to books for years. But it’s way down my list of things to do nowadays.

Very good story and as always read by an ex Taggart detective.

When I looked on Audible I have the first one of that series in my Wish List so when I get this month’s credits I might give it a go.
I have been re-listening to a lot of favourite series as I usually do when the world seems mad and I need some familiar soothing noises. At the moment it’s the JM Gregson Lambert & Hook series. A couple of my books have disappeared into the ether recently which seems to be about licensing agreements running out. When Audible do that I think they should give you an automatic credit.

Just returned an audio book that was like an old fashioned Mills & Boon. I really enjoy the Kate Ellis ‘Wesley Peterson ‘ series so tried her new one with Detective Albert Lincoln. Oh dear! Shall not be following this character.

I have just finished all twenty-odd Wesley Peterson books, on my kindle. I enjoyed them. I then tried with her detective Joe Plantagenet books. After the second one I decided not to buy any more.

Really enjoyed them, didn't want them to end, I can thoroughly recommend them.
