What book are you reading at the moment? Are you reading on paper or on an e-reader?

I have just started reading The House of Silk, a Sherlock Holmes novel by Anthony Horowitz.
So far it's interesting and I'm sure Holmes and Watson will solve the case.

I'm reading the latest Ladies Detective book - The Handsome Man's Deluxe Cafe. Not exactly edge of your seat stuff, but a pleasant read.

I think they're lovely books to read. Didn't know about that latest one, must get it from the library! :)
 

"The Greatest Baseball Stories Ever Told" by Jeff Silverman. Hey, I read a little bit of everything. Not every book has to be a classic. Next up is "The Old Man and the Sea." Hemingway. Never read it and I've had it for about 5 years, so I am ready to tackle it. Actually, someone gave it to me as retirement gift and I think I know who, even though it was an anonymous gift.
 
Enjoy reading everyone's favorites here ... getting some good ideas now. Thanks! .. I also just recently became a convert to the Kindle. Glad I did! .. I didn't know what I was missing..

I LOVE mine! They are perfect for traveling. For reading in the sun. For not tiring your eyes.
 
Some books I've enjoyed recently:

The Book Thief - great writing style, absorbing story. Made me cry!
The Ocean at the End of the Lane. Strange, but a really captivating book.
The Girl with all the Gifts - Almost didn't read it when I found out it had zombies. Not my cuppa, but I loved this book. Edge of your seat stuff.

Also for reading all the book reviews and checking out the cut price books/Kindle deals etc and for fast ordering [one click! Ooops, make sure you really wanted to buy it.;)]
 
Overlay: A Tale of One Girls Life in 1970s Las Vegas by Marlayna Glynn Brown, I've just discovered this writer, she is very gifted.

I've been reading some vintage mysteries from the Queen's Quorum list. I've finished:

Hagar of the Pawnshop by Fergus Hume

The Loot of the Cities by Arnold Bennett

In the Fog by Richard H. Davis

Murder at the Pageant by Victor L. Whitechurch

Round the Fire Mysteries by Arthur Conan Doyle

November Joe: The Detective of the Woods by H. Hesketh Prichard
 
Just in time for Xmas found another book by Joanne Fluke in my local library, called "Gingerbread Cookie Murder".
How about these Xmas treats:
Gingerbread Reindeer Cookies;
Chewy Coconut Cranberry Cookies;
Smokin' Willie's Crispy Crunch Coleslaw; (and many more Xmas recipes)
the very last recipe on p. 361 "Linda Kemp's Chocolate Mousse Cake" calls for '7' eggs!!!
I don't really find this book very exciting, so console myself by reading Michael Connelly's "The Black Box" at the same time.
Just love the fictional "Harry Bosch"

I've yet to find anything that has held my attention past the fourth chapter, I'm getting restless for something to really hold my attention, headed back to the library sometime this week for another exchange.
 
Well, I found something intriguing, borrowed it via on line book on tape, I only have two and half chapters to go, that's about 3 or so hours more of audio book left on mp3 to listen to.

The Boy In The Suitcase, by Lene Kaaberbol and Agnete Friis. I'll get back to it in a little while looking forward to finishing it this afternoon.

Next up Bitter Is The New Black, (no, not what some are thinking. LOL) by, Jen Lancaster
 
I worry a bit about discussing books. I read strictly for pleasure, easy reads that make me feel good. I am now reading Fern Michaels's Sisterhood Series again. It was so popular she wrote around 23 + books about the sisters. It is about women vigilantes who help women who have fallen through the cracks of the legal system. Men would not like the first one at all. I also like Debbie Mcomber books. I have a Mini Ipad and a reg Ipad AND Ipad book for dummies. As soon as I figure out the syncing thing I want to download the Clan of the Cave Bear series and the Outlander Series. They are very large books and hard to hold. I have my own library of over 400 books.
 
Vala, I think you might like The Boy In A Suitcase and other of Kaaberbol and Agnete Friis book series. After I read the other book, I'm going to see if my Library has the next two in their series for download.

Sometimes it takes me a minute or two to get the downloading correct, if I can be of help, I'll try to help you with that, I'm not saying I can, but, I'll try.
 
Thanks April, The books I want will be expensive and I want to be sure that I don't loose them because of an error I make. I met a woman at McD's who was using an Ipad and recommended it. She said when she downloads a book it goes to her kindle and her ipad and even saves the book mark on both. Sounded good. I will keep your offer in mind. I bought the Ipad for dummies because it is easier to read instruction while trying it on a device.
 
OK, but to let you know, the books I'm reading I downloaded free from my library catalog, but I'm sure it wouldn't be much more difficult to download from anywhere else.

I'm headed off to finish listening to the rest of "Boy In The Suitcase".

Enjoy the rest of you day. BBL
