  1. I love to read and but then life got busy with raising a bunch of wonderful and beautiful girls. With all the negativity that Covid19 has delivered to the world, I felt it was time to have a more positive outlook on life and I hope this book delivers. The Happiness Project: Or, Why I Spent a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean My Closets, Fight Right, Read Aristotle, and Generally Have More Fun. Written by Gretchen Rubin

  2. I'm currently reading Gerald Seymour's 'Archangel', a novel set in the 70's about a would-be spy captured in Moscow and sent to a prison camp. It's based on historical realities and Google Earth shows the prison camp still exists. Robert Harris is another English writer of exceptional historical novels all of which I have read ... although his most recent work was out of character. Books like 'Officer and a Spy', his Rome/Cicero series or 'Pompeii' were superb. Brad Thor writes Lee Child type novels revolving around US Delta operatives and CIA spies. Fast moving action with a decided slant against China's influences. Entertaining. Barry Lancet writes excellent novels with fascinating Japan/US themes. And I can highly recommend all of the Bernie Gunther series of novels by the late Philip Kerr. Detective/Berlin/WW2/Gestapo themes woven into historical context from ~1920's thru to ~1960's. I download 4 or 5 E-books every fortnight.

  3. Hi Lorraine, thank you for asking and I try to read one book per week, it used to be 2 and sometimes 3 a week several years ago and unfortunately age has caught up with my eyes and can now only manage one. I have considered Books on tape as an option and might yet try it out. I have been reading the following book all week and it was part of my Birthday present last year from my wife and it is an old enough book published back in 1984 and she tracked it down on Ebay. Glory Glory By Bill Nicholson Its an autobiography of his life with Spurs, winning the league in 1951 as a player and then as the manger in 1961 and going on to be Spurs most successful Manager.

  4. Hey, King Cotton Very well done and i wish you every success and when it gets published, let me know and i will buy a copy or download one for kindle. I see, Lee Child is a crime fiction author and on Amazon he has written a lot of books, will mention him to the husband.

  6. Very happy for the people of Singapore and still, No mention when the current children of Thailand will get vaccinated and they probably will not be children when the vaccination roll out gets to them.
