I have also read The Goldfinch twice, as well as Perfume twice! And I rarely read anything twice… I loved Line of Duty- streamed it during lockdown. Authors I love include Barbara Kingsolver, Tana French, Louise Penny, Diana Gabaldon, Anne Perry, Laurie R. King. by the way I’m 72 and losing words is my new game- can I describe the word I want faster than I can remember it! Love from California where tomorrow it will be 101 F and over 95 each of the next days for a week. Love that French rain! Vanlassie
Good to see you Kathy. I love a storm too - especially the sound of a good thunder storm. Try not to beat yourself up about losing words - being 'befuddled' as you call it. It really does happen to all of us. Go with the flow - as they say. I've tried to give away various things on free sites in the past several years and its often been surprisingly difficult. People don't turn up, or sometimes they arrive but haven't really read the description or the dimensions and decide they don't want it after all. Ive had more joy giving things to the British Heart Foundation. They collect items and sell them to raise money.They send you a sweet note of thanks to let you know how much money you raised. I wonder if there is anything like that in France? Cheers - D
I recommend On Chapel Sand by Laura Cumming, Art correspondent of The Observer. It is the true story of the kidnapping of her mother from a Lincolnshire beach in 1926 when she was three and unfolds from there. It is very good on the dynamics of village life, family interconnections and how to interpret pictures. I think The Crimson Petal and the White was dramatised by the BBC some years ago.
I read Captain Corellis's mandolin twice. I finished the last page & immediately turned to the first page & started again without a break! I loved it so much. I did the same with The Kapillan of Malta. Both excellent books set in WW2.
I really liked this video telling us which books you enjoyed as a dyslexic it is interesting to find out how you decide which books you want to read. I normally go to the bookshop. and look at the pictures and then get an idea from the back cover and choose that one. I keep forgetting you have a kindle, I don’t know if I could enjoy the books as well as having it in my hand. I do like books written about years ago but at the moment l have been reading something different it is the wisdom of sally red shoes by Ruth hogan. I am going to go back over the video and write down some of your suggestions. See you soon Kathy bye from Lynda
The Girl with the louding voice. A fine balance. Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine. I will ask the library to obtain Still Life for me. I love Florence and of course London. I also loved where the crawdads sings was amazing.

Fiddly @eck! You are giving it away free. Do these people have anything better to do.
