 My February reading has been constant, with 10 books, so far. I've been turning the computer off around 5.00pm most nights and then sitting and reading before I start dinner. Reading in bed also happens. My author for February is Katie Fford. I read two of hers, Island in the Sun. Set in the Caribbean, on Dominica, Cass is asked by her father to undertake a photography project. Things happen, which make it an interesting read. I gave it five stars.  One Enchanted Evening,   was the second one of hers I read. This one is set in 1964, in a small hotel in Dorset. A fun read, also five stars. Thomas McaEntee's   new book, The Big Book of Genealogy Lists,   is just that. Full of useful lists, covering everything from Common Abbreviations & Acronyms to A Research Checklist, and everything in between. A really useful book, that I found interesting to read through and I know I will be using it with my research.  Do you know what a Necessary Woma...

'Summer at Sea' by Katie Fforde. Set onboard a 'puffer' steam boat, this book is a delightful read. The characters could be your friends or neighbours. 'The Obession', by Nora Roberts, is excellent and had me guessing the baddie, until the last chapter. This thriller is not to be put down. I given you the back covers, so you get more of the blurb. Enjoy, Lilian

What do you like to read? Who are your favourite authors?  Books or Kindle? I love to read and can have as many as three books on the go, at once and I usually can read three a week! My book shelves are double packed!  When we went to Europe I had a dilemma, do I take clothes or books? The clothes one and I had to 'read' from my iPad. I did find two great bookshops in Paris and ended up with a couple of books. This year, in the USA I faced an even bigger problem. My iPad was running out of memory, so I deleted photos, (I had copies) and there was still a problem. In San Francisco, I bought a Kindle and transferred all my books to it. Now here is my problem, do I buy books or do I buy Kindle books?  I buy both. Some are just for the Kindle and the physical books are of authors, whose series I am collecting. Still can't go past a bookshop!  The Kindle is good and light weight for travelling but I still love the smell of a new book. In asking...
