I only read paper backed books. Get them from a shop in town. You can get three second hand books for £1.00.

Got several before it closed due to the lock down. Hope it opens soon as I am getting to the end of my stock. I like detectives especialy Peter James.

I have not got a kindle.

Am just reading "The Snowman".
It was a free gift when I had a small win on the Post Code lottery.
It is a good detective story transaleted from Norwegian.

I like detective stories.

I'm a fan of Peter James too, Cruiser, especially the DS Roy Grace series. As it happens, I've just started one of his stand-alone books, "The Secret of Cold Hill".

Mrs O is running out of books in lockdown. Charity shops are closed and the only outlet in our town carrying new paperbacks is Waitrose, who only have a very small selection. She is nearly down to the Hilary Mantel which she's been putting off since last March!! :mrgreen:

I have 29 books waiting to start! :shock: I have fairly wide reading tastes, and always have a large supply of favourite authors in stock, from Lee Child's "Jack Reacher" thrillers to Tom Holland's "In the Shadow of the Sword" which is a discourse on the origins of Islam and the conflicts within the Christian Roman Empire between AD500 and AD800 ..... :lol:

I've got kindle on my tablet Ossie and thanks to the ridiculously cheap prices of purchasing books on it I've got 36 waiting to be read.

That includes 3 'box sets' of murder mystery, a total of 13 books that cost 3.19€. :o :lol:

I would panic if my reading matter was running out. :lol: :lol:

Nah, it’s “real” books for me, I really only use ebooks if on holiday (what’s a holiday?)
