July was fantastic for me as all I seemed to do was lie round the pool and systematically plough my way through a hooooj chunk of the 70 odd books I had.

If I do the same in August (that's the plan ) I'll finish them in time for the annual re-stocking frenzy when mum comes over in 6 weeks!

I digress....I'm reading The Charm Bracelet by Melissa Hill at the moment.

Sounds good to me!! I'm saving all my unread Kindle books for Corfu

I am just about to restart Deep Sea and Foreign Going by Rose George. She's a journalist who joined a freight ship and went from Southampton to Singapore.

There are over 100,000 freighters on the seas and between them they carry a most 90% of what we eat, wear and work with.

I started it a couple of weeks ago but abandoned it when All The Light We Cannot See arrived from the library (loved that book) and although I wasn't far into it I was really enjoying it so I'm looking forward to picking it up again. It's our book group book for October.

I'm reading Perfect Daughter by Amanda Prowse, it's a kindle bargain, 59p
here

Ooh I'll have a look at that Di! My sister recommended a brilliant book she's just finished when I spoke to her last night, but I've forgotten what it was called now! I'll ask her later

It was "Elizabeth is Missing" by Emma Healey I've ordered it for £3 on my kindle - another lined up for Corfu, whoopee!!!!!

J said it was a fabulous read, and she is a voracious reader!

I picked that up from the library last week and it is destined to go on holiday with me.

My mum loved that book and boy does she read!!

I can't wait to mooch round all the book stalls when she gets over here.

I bought Elizabeth is Missing the other day when I was at Sainsburys and am going to take it to Turkey with me.

I used to read loads and loads but have gotten out of the habit and am now really struggling to get back into it. I used to read mainly crime or scifi/fantasy (emphasis on the fantasy bit of that).

Not helped that I'm not overly keen on what I refer to as "I-books" ie written in the first person and more and more books seem to be like that. I really need spend some time in a charity shop and see what there is and see if anything jumpt out at me - I miss losing myself in a book
