Thanks rainydaywoman

OK, Im sort of new. Ive been on the boards before (I recognise some of you!), but my mum developed Alzheimers and my life went to pot and I didnt have any time for anything 😞

Im back again now, but the board has completly changed and Im still getting to grips with it all.

So, Hi everyone and I hope to see you around.

Dear Bookworm, so sorry to hear about your Mum, it truly is the mose H*llish illness.

Do i deduce from your ID that you're a reader (see I'm not completely dumb), lol.  What do you like to read?  

I read all the time, mainly crime fiction, just discovered a new author and having a grand old time reading through his other books.  Like history too, The American Civil War and The Spanish Civil War amongst other things.

Hello And Welcome Back

[bookworm26]

Yup, I love reading

Ive got a very eclectic library

Ian Rankin, Harry Potter, romantic poets, Jane Austin, Terry Pratchet, science fiction, Dickens, War and Peace, Satre, Oscar Wilde, La Carre..... etc

Im currently working my way through Henning Mankells Wallander series.

Ive not read much history, perhaps i should try it

Hi merc1_clocks

[bitsnknots]

Welcome back Bookworm.  So sorry to read about your mum.  

We always welcome new members to the madhouse.  We're always here though if anyone has a problem, everyone helps.

Hi bookworm, hope you are enjoying the Wallander series, I loved them.  I can't do Sartre and have tried, love all of Dickens (my fav is David Copperfield (I am born, brill), closely followed by Bleak House), love Tolstoy, have never finished War and Peace, just discovered new Scandinavian author Camilla Lackberg - didn't like The Girl with Dragon Tattoo series or Jo Nesbo.  If I had to choose my fav book ever would be Rebecca by Du Maurier or Flaubert's Madame Bovary, or or or - that's the thing about reading isn't it?

Who are your faves?
