Just finished "the Switch" by Beth Oleary.

Really enjoyed it, funny and sweet

I'm listening to Audio books.
At the moment it's about the five women Jack The Ripper killed, it goes into detail of all their lives. At the time, they were deemed as being 'common prostitutes' but research has told that they all may not have been. Very interesting, chilling, and you get a real insight into the appalling 1800's.
It's by Hallie Rubenhold.

I'm also listening to Audible - 'The Dutch House', narrated by Tom Hanks. Purely for that reason. Nice to share the bed with Tom

Just received "On Writing" by Stephen King from Amazon. It's more of a memoir about where his writing and ideas for his novels come from and some personal stories about his life. Haven't had a chance to get into yet, hopefully this weekend.

I’ve just finished reading ‘Troubled Blood’ by Robert Galbraith aka J K Rowling, couldn’t put it down which says it all really. Prior to that I read ‘American Dirt’ and ‘The Dutch House’ both of which I’d recommend 😀

Yes CLKD, it’s a real roller coaster of a read but quite thought provoking.   I bought myself a copy because the waiting list at the library was so long and I got fed up waiting.  Then, would you believe it my daughter bought me it for my birthday from Amazon (without knowing I was keen to read it).    I now have 2 copies 🤣

He has been on Country File with Matt I think.

Yesterday's papers read, back to House of Musicians

I began a book this week:

Stranger in the Shogun's City by Amy Stanley - any1 tried to read it ?  . by page 33 I had found inconsistencies which make the story almost impossible 2 understand.  Have sent an e-mail to Penguin this afternoon - I don't think the book has every been proof read or edited!

I tend to read a lot more when I'm stressed, so I'm obviously pretty stressed at the moment. I often have two books on the go but this list is 4 books.

The Secret History of the World - Jonathan Black

Breath - James Nestor

The Cuckoo's Calling - Robert Gallbraith

The Story of China -  Michael Wood

I enjoyed The Cuckoo’s Calling and the rest of the series, but I am JK Rowling fan so I wasn’t surprised.
I listened to it as an audio book so I can plug an earphone in at night. This usually helps me sleep, but with these books I was staying awake to listen

I loved the Strike TV series Salard.  The books are even better.
