Watching: Love Actually (again!)
Listening to: Love Actually soundtrack (makes the joy last longer)
Making me smile: Fergus pretending he's the biggest dog in the house (that's him below)
I'm an absolute book lover. There are several things I like that I could live without - a good book is not one of them.
And one of the most special times for a book lover is to find a new-to-me author whose writing I can sink into. Especially if they have a backlist. All those new books to read!
I do have a few authors I need to try, based on recommendations.
Georgette Heyer would be near the top of that list. Unfortunately when I was first told to read her, I wasn't given any titles, so I bought a book randomly only to find it was one of her 1920's mysteries. It didn't grab me the way I'd hoped and it took me a while to work out that these weren't the books people had raved to me about. Now I need to try her again - a Regency this time (and I've seen they've brought her books out again Downunder with gorgeous covers!).
I'm reading something fabulous now - Anne Gracie's
To Catch A Bride. I'm almost finished and going slow because I don't want it to end. But the good news is, it's the third in a series and I haven't read the others yet. Guess what's next on my To Be Bought list! =)
Before this, I listened to Susan Elizabeth Phillips's
What I Did For Love on audiobook. Loved it! And I surprised myself by being completely swept away by the
Twilight books.
So now I have a question for you: who else should I put on my To Be Tried list? Tell me the last great book you read, or if you're reading something now that you're enjoying, please share the details! My reading addiction needs new titles! =)
The next two photos were taken a few days ago and they were both rather less keen to pose for me. The hat and vest were far too small, so they're wearing red tinsel instead. And the first photos were taken on the futon, but Dougal's shoulders aren't as keen on jumping up these days, so we did them on the floor.
