More reading

I have loved this book, unlike many garden books this is useful, I have read it cover to cover, and there are loads of tips, I won't use all the information, she doesn't expect you too, just clear good information. Book 53 read this year 

This is another book I almost gave up on, it was such a slow start, I picked it up not knowing the author at all, a woman is released from jail, her sentence for murder overturned, and she is back to the street where it all happened, in the end it was a good story. Book 54 read this year.

I have read another book by this author, so I was hoping for a good plot, set in UK,  most unlikely and improbable plot, but I could not put it down, I was hooked from the beginning, a clever story which kept growing right to the final pages. I totally recommend this book, book 55 read this year.

I got this book from a charity shop, I ran out of library books and the library was shut, I've not read this author before, the back cover synopsis was about a blogger asking for help about a missing friend. It was an interesting tale, which twist and turned, I found the lady telling the story to be very gullible, a few times I thought 'how can you believe that' it highlighted the difference between strong and weak needy people. Book 56 read this year.

 

I have for years recorded books I have read, I use a small address book, recording authors alphabetically, my book is messy, so I thought it would be great to get a new one, I have loads to transfer. It's a very handy size for popping in my handbag.

I love books, and for fun I got the book stamp, just for a few books, it's very handy if I loan a book, reminds the person who owns it. I got thinking of book plates, our girls used to make their own, their junior school had a really good way of adding books each year to the school library, they would publish a list of books and the prices, as parents of leavers we could chose and pay for a book, our child decorated the book plate and left the school a gift with their name.

I have done nothing to my 2023 book, I am further behind than I wanted to be, I'm outside as much as I can be, and giving support to daughter and her three little ones, 2022 is finished, I had hoped both would be done by November, when the best printing discounts are given.

I've been working in my back section behind the garage, I have moved my strawberry tower, it's tucked back until next spring, making the path by my greenhouse house door feel wider. I potted up my smaller dogwood to use in our garden, filling a bare corner.  I have also dug up loads of cana lilies, I had them in 3 spots around the garden, none of them looked good, so I will let them die back and pass on the bulbs.

I  full of bugs again, cold sore throat, with a horrible dry spot, I'm sleeping better, but just can rest enough, I don't think the little ones passed on these bugs, I'm really run down, I hope the bugs pass quickly, I'm not good at resting and relaxing, I'm not reading much, I'm fed up with myself. Ending on a higher note, it's not covid.
