Books! How do you read and what do you read?

Neither Wolf nor Dog 25th Anniversary Edition: On Forgotten Roads with an Indian Elder: Nerburn, Kent, Plant, Robert: 9781608686384: Amazon.com: Books
Just finished the above book yesterday. Glad it was a thrift store copy. Literally one of the worst book I've ever read. It had some decent information. Anyone with any compassion would know the horrors done to the native people. But this author was literally treated like garbage on every page. Some reviews say it was fiction. I don't know. It's will go to our PAWS thrift for another victim.

Reading a thrifted cozy mystery. The story and writing are decent, but it's one of the 'magical' type ones and not really my thing.

I just finished The Lost Ticket by Freya Sampson and highly recommend it to others. A delightful fiction read located in London, and the bus stops make you believe you have revisited these locations. The characters are also highly likeable.

This sounds like something I'd like. Thank you.

I’ve added this to my reading list—thanks!

I can't buy any more books @NorthernLight because I have no more room for them and I can't seem to throw them out. That's why I rely on the library. In winter, when too cold to read outdoors, my kindle is great! Especially during the pandemic when the physical libraries were all closed.

Can't they be donated to the library or a thrift store. I see you live in NYC so you may not be able to get things to thrift stores.
 
I do all my reading on a Kindle. Some non-fiction, but largely fiction. Pretty much always in bed. When I start to get drowsy I pack it in. Read 16 of the Lee Child Reachers, and then moved on. Also enjoyed most of Brian Kilmeade's history work. GoodReads is a useful site, as are Amazon's reviews.

I love Kathy Reich's books read most of them,not for the squeamish,liked the TV show' Bones' based on her life.I think she's a better writer than Patrica Cornwell Sue

but i will try any book and will know if im gonna be interested after the first few pages
i do like the Harlem Coben books tho

I get mystery novels from the library. I avoid mysteries that seem heavy on romance or family issues, and anything that mentions Washington.

Then, without removing the book from the shelf, from I check the top for evidence of excessive yellowing or browning, because I find white paper easier to read from.

I open each remaining candidate to check that the type is legible. (Generally speaking, this means big enough.) Books with hard-to-read type get put in the to-be-reshelved pile.

I usually get about 6 books, and leave 8 or 10 behind for the staff to reshelf.
 
I decided to try Benjamin Black's "Quirke" mysteries .. am almost all the way through the first book.
However, his use of racial slurs (the "N" word) has turned me off.

Therefore, I will move on to David Baldacci, also a mystery/crime writer.
