The last chapters…. by happypat

The last chapters….

One of the best books I have ever read….I had to finish it today! Strange feeling of wanting to find out what happens but not wanting to come to the end…I’m sure you’ve all felt the same sometimes.
I sat down this afternoon & finished it….reading too quickly at times & then having to track back to read it properly.
Not everyone’s cup of tea as it’s very brutal in parts but such a clever plot….in fact lots of plots in one!

I Am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes.

Thank you for all your recent comments on my photos….I have been very bad at replying lately but I assure you I read everyone with great pleasure & interest!

Three good things:
1. Got £40 worth of diesel this morning at my local garage. Just my usual fill up when I got down to 52 miles. Only two cars in front of me & none behind. Some garages had run out of fuel but it’s definitely getting back to normal.
2. We have managed to get the outside cushions dry this afternoon after all this rain but have brought them in over night to make absolutely sure they aren’t damp before we put them away for the winter.
3. Fresh mackerel for tea.
Sounds like a great book! I LOVE your blanket.

@kwind Thank you Kim, my auntie crocheted it, there is another on the other sofa but smaller & a sort of sage green with mustard edging. Not my colours but looks surprisingly good on the grey sofa.

I agree with Kim. What a beautiful blanket!

I love your sofa and the crocheted throw looks beautiful.
I have read I am pilgrim. I found it very clever but perhaps too violent for me.

@busylady It was indeed quite violent but I persevered & gripped myself…..very clever though, there are some bad reviews so not everyone liked it.

Always good to get a book recommendation. Did you crochet your blanket?

@dkbarnett No Delwyn I can’t crochet, my aunt did it years ago but it looks quite fashionable on there I think…..I was surprised how good it looks.

Another potential suggestion for our book club? I have just finished ‘About Grace’ by Anthony Doerr. I loved his’All the light we cannot see’ and picked this up at Scout sale.

That looks fantastic. And the neutral grey is lovely on its own or with these gorgeous blankets.

That couch looks just like ours and is so, so comfortable! I've got a fox fur on my couch!

You looking very comfy there.. Crochet blankets/throws are very trendy at the moment and looks great on your couch.. Good to see you in your Allbirds.. I have 4 pairs now.. lol

You look very comfy on your new sofas and all ready for winter too with the crocheted throw

@callymazoo I haven’t read that one, will check it out but read the one you mention.

@julzmaioro Not Allbirds Julz…some cheapy ones off the internet! My AB wore out & I never got round to replacing them.

Since retirement I've read many more books and I can totally understand wanting to finish. I love your room!!

Have you read The Keeper of Happy Endings by Barbara Davis? I think you might enjoy it

Love the new settees and the crocheted blanket!
September 30th, 2021  
Love your new sofas & the crocheted blanket...it all looks very homely. Glad you enjoyed the read- I often read too quickly when the plot thickens, too! lol

Beautiful and homely Pat - love your crochet throws , they really add colour and comfort feel to your home !
September 30th, 2021  
Beautiful shot. In the position you are in I would drop off and have a nap after reading a page or two at the maximum.

I'm not a good reader but known as a story teller, including my local paper.
September 30th, 2021  
Great POV, a lovely homely scene
