I'm currently reading The Diaries of Franz Kafka - really enjoying it. There are stories in-between his diary entries that he started to write as ideas for books but didn't ever finish or get further than a few pages. Such a shame as some of them are brilliant & would have been brilliant novels I think.

That’s the one I’m looking at it’s for holidayand times I need to have a book in large print on a stand that one touch changes the page if I’m in a flare as I like to use the local library physically so it doesn’t shut , and our villa is awash with books

Does it have to be a Kindle?

I know it's hard to leave amazon (I started 14 years ago & had a 12 year old paperwhite until a couple of months ago!) but the benefits outwayed it for me.

I got a 7" kobo libra colour for £200. Slightly bigger than the kindle signature, same storage space but this has a colour display, Google drive access (stick books in your Google drive & they sync to the kobo) & even better, overdrive, which means I can borrow books from a library for free!

As for my 500+ kindle books, I downloaded them to a PC & have used a program called calibre to copy them over to the kobo.

Well as I’d faffed and dithered about so much DS 1 bought me the newest paper white all my books loaded and a a lot more he knows I’ll read as an early Christmas present but with instructions not to loose myself in a book and burn his birthday Sunday Lunch something I’m famous for is loosing myself in a book and letting life go by and to pot with the consequences ( more burnt pots than I’ll,admit too )

Our ladies book club is reading All The Broken Pieces by John Boyne. It's the sequel to The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. It's a really good read, following the sister's life and fills in a lot of the gaps in the story of the family.

Thanks for the recommendations!
I’ve just finished the ‘a court of’ series and really enjoyed it. I haven’t read books for a long time due to being busy working etc. Someone at work recommended them so thought I’d give them a go and really pleased I did.

I’ve just ordered the fourth wing so am hoping I enjoy that one just as much.
