Latest Read

I am taking a break from my favourite author to read a series of books that I first introduced my 12 year old to.
I bought her Book One thinking she would really enjoy the read....I also thought I should read it myself , just to make sure I wasn't steering her in the wrong direction....
Hey I loved it! Being a Nancy Drew, Trixie Belden, Hardy Boys, Famous Five and Secret Seven reader as  a kid, these were taking me back to being 12 again.

I can't justify purchasing all the series as Meg is not as into them as I am, sooooo it is off to the local library.
Did you know that you can peruse your library catalogue online and order the books you want to be delivered to the closest library?  We can and I am making the most of this service  with these books and many others that I have on my list to read.....
Note: For all those Jodi Picoult fans out there I see  her latest book being advertised in the "junk mail" that arrived in my letterbox...I am off to source that ASAP.

Autumn and reading

I know on the calender it is Autumn, I know if you live elsewhere in our big country it is Autumn....but here in this beautiful state of ours....
it is no way Autumn!
The heat wave is set to continue all week...
so to combat the fact that it was even too hot over the weekend to head to the beach what was left to do?
Finish another great book by  my favourite author..

I have been a little selfish in sneaking off to read and the further along I got the stronger the urge to get it finished.
I think I love these books mostly because it always leaves me reading the final sentence over and over ....the clincher is always in the last sentence or two.
Highly recommend
