H allo Daisy,
Nice to have a woman on the scene again, and welcome.
I read a lot too and belong to 2 book clubs and write a little.
I have just finished reading, a spy thriller- a subject I don't normally choose , and could not put it down.'A Foreign Country' by Charles Cummings. I read romances too but not historical faction.
What have you been reading recently?
I'm currently reading a book on the history of Freemasonry by an author called Michael Johnstone. It's a really good read, going through the actual history of the Freemasons, and none of the conspiracy rubbish.
I've just finished A Bluffers Guide To Beer. I think I've read it previously, but it was sent to me for review. It was an enjoyable read.
Of course it'll fit, you just need a bigger hammer.
I've read several Masonic books in the past. I have to say that the content varies wildly. In truth, I like the conspiracy ones, many are quite amusing.

I find that kind of thing fun to read and pick holes in.
I've got a pre publication copy of "The Mosul Legacy" by Christopher Lowery. It's three tales wrapped into one, but a gripping read.

Just read 'A long and winding road' by Alan Johnson' an excellent read
and have started 'The Young Lloyd George', byJohn Grigg.It has started well
I've always been interested in Lloyd George.I lived in Criccieth for a couple of years and often visited Llanystumdwy his village next door to see his tiny house and the beautiful river surrounding his grave nearby.The cottage was as he left it-with stuff about and very dusty, but when I visited the last tim eit had been 'poshed up' and its character had gone.
bUT THE RIVER WAS STILL BEAUTIFUL.

I'm re-reading Lord of the Rings at the minute. It was my favourite book when I was a kid, and I'm enjoying losing myself in a fantasy world & forgetting the real thing in these stressful times!
I've got a copy of Gathering Evidence by Martin MacInnes for review. Other reviewers are raving over it. I'm within 30 pages of the end and I haven't got a damned clue what it's about!

Has anyone read any good books recently? I've more or less read everything by my favourite authors (sometimes twice!) - mostly science fiction & fantasy - and need some inspiration, maybe even different genres!
I can highly recommend Rob Ratcliffe's lad-lit series. I'm currently reading his so far unpublished Tindered and I can't help smiling.
Full disclosure, I do know Rob.
If you have an e-reader, Lex search for free books on Amazon or on https://b-ok.cc/. I've not personally bought a book for ages.

Just finished reading these books:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/...-the-stone-man
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/...-the-empty-men
They're science fiction books, and a bit graphic in places, but they're a great read & Coventry features heavily. (Looks like a 3rd book might be on the way, too).
I'm still reviewing books. The guy that used to run things has retired and the lady that has taken over seems to like me because I deliver the reviews regularly. She sent me 4 books before Christmas, all historic and only one fiction. I'm learning more about history than I ever did to get my history 'O' level!
Of course it'll fit, you just need a bigger hammer.
