Summer of 2019 Reading

This is a new construction of thoughts on matters of interest.  I would love to begin a reading room
we're honest critic can be expressed.
So many authors are flooding the market with the same formula , it annoys me.   I must research what constitutes plagerism.  I have quickly flipped to the author s backflap for a hint of who they are.
Skimpy source I know, but a picture is worth more to me & my intuition than words.
If a rule to writers is " write what you know" then judging an author would give me a starting point.

I must confess, I enjoy writers ( female) who are past the chapters filled with romance.( sex)  I prefer
A more clever approach, my imagination isn't gone YET.  Yes, this shortens the reading list, but what great classics depend on pages of the "original sin" ( don't jump , I  know, subjective)

This brings me to Why are most bookreview sites run by young people? ( women).  Older do still read & buy books, it is still the gift grands depend on to spark young minds!
I follow many book review sites and this is my most pressing question.  I do appreciate the excellent efforts , I would enjoy an older perspective.

That is why I am writing to. MySelf & anyone else who would share their thoughts.

Welcome All to Prudence Chatterley!

      The DollHouse was a wonderful read, The Discovery of Witches Trilogy, Brilliant! I just don't like the same old same old, take 2 chapters to Yada, yada yada" too easy & lazy in my opinion. Old Bitter Crone I guess. My mind is the last muscle that needs stimulation! xoxo.
      Sooooo wonderful to have you visit! xo

What TIME is it? March madness? Time!

The March hare & I do take on  the same look this time of year. Moody March, indeed. My new way of life as  solo crone is of need of some spicing up. Watching  snow melt isn't quite what I have in mind. I roamed downtown to our library, and I always check the cast away books. Over the years, in the many places I have lived, I have found excellent books this way, plus I donate extra for the Library. Where I live now is the fanciest library I have visited ( since I was youngster & this library was just built & grand opening) in decades, the cast away books have their own alcove & bench to quietly choose from the 3! bookshelves.   It was a treasure hunt! I was overwhelmed with the titles. But tucked & cramped down the side of the bookshelves was a colourful, unique size book, pristine dust jacket, caught my eye!  What? author Susan Hill ( The Women in Black)  " Howard's End is on the Landing" ( I loved the movie with Emma Thompson & Ant

Literary Bad Patch, but back on Track!

My reading choices took a nasty turn for awhile after I found the book in the library by Susan Hill. ( previous blog post) " Howard's End is on the Landing" I tried to change my choice of reading, broaden my limited horizons, more high brow less Magic. Well I failed miserably.  Book after book, I struggled, even the HOT new one, I wondered "What The Hell is this?" Classic to Pulitzer contender, I shut down, ( Names withheld, as my reaction is one of a kind). Sulking didn't help so I just shock it off and piled the alien books to one side.  Now, where is my historical, magical, dark or all three !!!!! In one! First glance, and beaming intuition this one would save my humiliation Debut novel, Historical, Magical, Intrigue, and just dark enough!  I rejoiced! The very first chapter grabbed me and I couldn't stop! Page turner, suspense, historical, magic, strong female characters, brilliant writing!  I await her next novel out very soon!  ( no sp

2020 🖤 Roaring 20's / Crystal Vision

It is a NEW everything for me!  Back in my hometown , imagining what is possible. Last time I asked myself that was 50 years ago.  Now I have maturity & wisdom on my side! Hahahaha! They will arrive, eventually! I went out BOOK shopping with my sister after the children were back in their confinement, I knew the roads & shop would be calm, suitable for my outing.  Cleverly armed with a list, march straight to computer to see how many I would carry home.  One! after careful planning, reading reviews, asking myself " do you REALLY" want to read that? One book was to ticked OFF!  So cruising the shelves with my sister ( who has a book club) she took photos for consideration, I was wondering what the hell is taking my favorite authors so dam long!  Also I prefer soft covers now as I know how heavy they all are to carry down stairs & load in small car. Why was my sister pointing to Self Help section? Last post, I declared I would read the author flap to get
