Books, books and more books.

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!!
