The Girl Who Played With Fire.

Summer On Blossom St. by Debbie Macomber

It's a happy book about a simple life that I would like to have. This woman owns her own knitting store on a street called "Blossom" somewhere in Seattle. There's also other small stores on that street like a book store and a flower shop. Reminds me of a neighborly small town. Everyone ends up meeting each other through knitting classes. This is like book 7 in the series and this time they have a young guy who is 35 taking the knitting class to help relieve stress and get his blood pressure down - his doctor recommended the class and the doctor also knits - his wife taught him. I'd like to have a job like that. I just started reading the book, but I bet this guy meets his new hunny in the same knitting class! I could write these books!

The Girl Who Played With Fire.
(Quite boring, I don't know if I'm going to make it through)

Ghost Boy by Martin Pistorius

A Wanted Man by Lee Child

I was reading Her Own Rules, by Barbara Taylor Bradford, that was finished in about a week, At Home With The Templetons took much longer, so I split them out and read them at separate intervals.
To be fair, I paid for these as second hand books, and out of it came some free-handed counselling that I didn't quite expect owing to some past life and PTSD;on the first one and maybe some written empathy on the second one.
At least I didn't have to unpick any plotlines, maybe on the second one, there was some strange entourages from different people and it seemed like The Curse of The Vontrapps a bit to begin with, then the more you read of it, you could gauge a lot from parental interference, domestic faults, and crowd gossiping followed by debts, love and loss. If a book is getting too old, I still make an effort to read it, but it usually has to be in a paperback copy, because I hate small writing.
I opt for medium size font style, formal when I read. I don't mind looking at some entries, like the book of Shackleton I read and, The Templetons had some letters, pen and pad was a thing in the nineties. Email took away a lot of handwritten contribution, dressing up in Victorian style clothes and using a chalk and chalk board was one experience I shan't forget. I cut my finger on it, and blood spurted everywhere' ruining' the experience.
The time I coughed halfway through a SATS exam was far worse though but at least I kept a steady hand that time.

Being an old poot(ess), I have a lifetime's accumulation of books and I've been re-reading my way through two fiction series, both fantasy, in the order in which they were published: Discworld (Terry Pratchett) and Faerie (Seanan McGuire).

Both authors are incredible world-builders (and their worlds include cats, McGuire's quite centrally ). Currently starting Soul Music for the third time, and just finished Rosemary and Rue for the third time.

Prelude to Foundation by Issac Asimov.

This Christmas by Nora Roberts

I am getting so far with it and seems to be ok.

I just finished "Off the leash: A dog's best friend". It was funny and cute and reminded me of just how much I love dogs

Foundation by Isaac Asimov.

Weaveworld by Clive Barker
Survivors: The Empty City by Erin Hunter
The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett
Black Creek Crossing by John Saul
And I'm slowly but surely working my way through a complete collection of stories by H.P. Lovecraft.

I really need to pick just one book to focus on and finish, or I won't finish any of them. That would hardly be the first time that's happened.
