I've read the Elly Griffiths, Ruth Galloway books, all bar the latest one and I've read one of her Harbinder Kaur series.
I've bought and just started to read the first William Monk book by Anne Parry.
I will gradually work my way through your other suggestions.
I can't see well enough to read real books so I depend on my kindle and enlarge the font.
I am a voracious reader and always have been, I had to serve a detention when I was in school as I was caught reading the Carpetbaggers by Harold Robbins. I was about 13 years old, the school phoned my mother to complain but as it was her book I had borrowed I don't think she was bothered.
When my children were small and before my eyesight started to deteriorate, I read in the the bath and when washing up I always had a book resting against the taps.
Now I have very little to do apart from walking Beano and some housework, Steve tries to restrict my socialising so I read for hours, I read as many freebie books as I can, otherwise all my pension would be spent on books.
I am relatively indiscriminate about the sort of books I read, I enjoy sci-fi, murder mysteries, thrillers etc. I do not read romances, I have never really enjoyed them.
I have an online friend called Lyssa Medana who writes about vampires and golems, I love her books. I've read all of Sir Terry Pratchetts books despite one of my neighbours telling me that Sir Terry didn't write for people like me!!

What on Earth did your neighbour mean by that?!?
Hazel, my neighbour feels I am too old to read Sir Terry.
I wish I could lose myself in a book as I'm always on high alert with him - my own doing of course - I do admire that you do though x
My husband has all Terry Pratchett’s books and rereads them often. I love reading and like you can read anywhere. I mainly use my kindle now as it’s easy to alter the print size. Catriona
I'm sure Sir Terry would have been delighted to have readers of his books of all ages and types!
I often buy murder mysteries 5, 6, 7, and 8 in a set for $.99 for my kindle on Amazon. Are you able to find those? Cindy/WV
Haha, I read The Carpetbaggers, and other Harold Robbins books when I was thirteen too, they were all my Dad's. I had read through his Nevil Shute's and his HG Wells books and these were the next options ... but I never took them to school. ;-)
Would there be any chance of you publishing (on your blog) more of the stories you've written? I think I've read the 2 or 3 you publishes and would love to read more.
Two series that I'd recommend if you haven't read them -and on Kindle unlimited are the Logan series and it's spin-offs by J D Kirk and the NIck Dixon series by Damien Boyd. There are lots of them so should keep you going for a while.
Some that I've enjoyed and you might: sci-fi: the Murderbot books by Martha Wells; biomedical horror - anything by Mira Grant - really well researched stuff; 'light crime' - anything by MC Beaton - the two main series are Agatha Raisin and Hamish MacBeth.
alice hoffman books and ian rankin. It feels like 108 where I live in the US. Argh!
Take care of yourself and Beano.
Bun
The Inspector Gamache series by Canadian author Louise Penny is a great one to read! I have also read the Ruth Galloway series and really enjoyed it!
