What are you reading?
I love reading a book. Any book, any subject. You can't beat turning the pages of a book. I prefer an old book that sometimes has that musty smell from the library or from a shelf in a book shop that has been long forgotten. We have several second hand bookshops near to where I live and I love looking through the collection and often come home with a book or books that I have read before as a child or young woman. Those old cookery books where the recipes are still in ounces and ingredients that I used when I learnt to cook with my mother, so long ago. I take the books back and replenish with new ones. I can often get three books for £2. I joined the local library. All very modern and scan books in and out- whatever happened to the lady who would date stamp your books with a flurry and remind you to bring them back on time or you would receive a fine. I love audio. books and will often borrow one to listen to whilst I drive the car. The only problem I have with audio books is that I often arrive home and sit in the drive listening to the next chapter. My recent one was the Autobiography of Mary Berry- Recipe for Life. A wonderful story of her life and many achievements. I have most of her recipe books- well the recipes work and just so easy to follow, with great results every time .
EBooks are not my favourite as I miss turning the pages, but I use the Borrow Box app. I am currently reading The Lake House by Kate Morton.
