Do you read?

Are you are reader, do you have an all-time favourite book or not?

Maybe you are like me and love to read but rarely find the time to do so, which is why I listen to books on cd while I am driving in the car.

I don’t have an all-time favourite book but there have been many books that I have read and I do have favourite authors, and I love to read a number of different types of books, I like Danielle Steel which are romance type books and I love Dick Francis who’s books are mostly cantered around horses and racing, he passed away in 2010. Then there is Robert B Parker who writes crime stories he doesn’t anymore since he passed away in 2010 as well. So two of my favourite authors have died recently, makes one wonder who will be next and will I have to find new favourite authors.

Another author that I loved when I was younger was V C Andrews who passed away in 1986 but she wrote so many awesome stories and many stories have been written by a ghost writer since her death.

I have never been a fan of mushy romance novels, as I guess you can tell by the authors I like and the books I read. I have always been a reader from a young age, I often get lost in the books I read.

Now Tim he is not a reader, never has been and I doubt he ever will be but then again I don’t remember my dad reading books as a child and now he reads all the time so maybe I shouldn’t say never.

  1. Besides blogs I don’t really read much in the summer. As it gets colder I’ll probably have 1-3 books on the go at any given time! My all-time fave book? I think I would have to say the Narnia series by CS Lewis (including the lion, the witch and the wardrobe) read it as a child, read it to my daughter, she read it to me and one day she’ll read it to her children!

    I really enjoy ancient historical fiction like the clan of the cave bear series by Jean Auel and biographies and true inspirational stories… and then there’s the how-to books…

    1. Yeah I read a lot of blogs, and that counts as reading doesn’t it…………
      When I was younger I would often have 2 or 3 books going at the same time. I also love historical fiction Jean Plaidy is one of my favourite authors
