Whoops - because I can't remember the story etc., nor the author without referring back.  Been like that for years  - although earlier books; Black Beauty, Heidi, Secret Garden are easier to recall.

Oh I see! Im so slow and did not understand what you meant.

I also loved the worst witch and Enid Blyton. My favourite was the faraway tree and the wishing chair.

Not slow at all, it was the way I didn't completely explain my lack of holding information

The Faraway Tree was just the best!

I loved the magical lands that appeared especially the land of goodies.

I can’t remember what happened in the books, just that I loved them, aren’t bookshops just magical when you’re a child?! I still love them to this day.

I’m like this too. I can read a novel and really enjoy it in the moment, but once I’ve moved on to another story, I mostly forget the title name and plot of the one I read a couple of books ago.

I’m reading Where The Crawdads Sing, by Delia Owens at the moment. It started well, but the second half of the book has become a bit tedious and ploddy. Not enough that I would abandon it but I’m starting to feel that I need to get to the end now.

I Andy re-reading the Harry Potter books. Recently took my 86 year old mum to Warner Studios, as she’s a big fan. I really enjoyed the books first time round, and always thought how much I would have loved them if they’d been around when I was a kid.

I've just finished reading Dr Finlay's case book and I've also just finished reading The Salt Path.

I'm reading call the midwife at the moment.

I also love a good murder mystery, preferably Agatha xxx

I tried "Where the Crawdads Sing" and didn't get by the first 5 pages 

Dr Finlay's Case Book was in Bl/white on TV when I was a kid 


We have 2nd hand book shops all around us.  Astley Books have a good cafe, lots of wood burning stoves and it can be a whole day out for us.

I loved Dr finlays case book xxx

I’ve finished reading Bombshell. Very intriguing.
It’s about Marilyn Monroe. And the controversy around her death.


I’m getting Miriam Margolyes new book for when I’m on holiday.
That should be a laugh. 
That woman cracks me up!

I caved and got Stephen King's latest, Fairy Tale. It's been sitting on my bookshelf for 3 weeks and I haven't found enough time to sit down and start it.

Interesting and eloquent book - "Everyone versus Racism", Patrick Hutchinson.  A letter to my Children.

I note in Davina McCall's book: "Menopausing" : that there is no reference to MM.   . About to begin reading said book.  Any1 else tried it?
