Today is the last day of winter and hopefully I should get out more as restrictions ease a little and have more opportunities to take photos.
I have always got a book on the go but during lockdown I have probably read more than I usually do because I have been home more, so here is a selection of my lockdown reading.
I don't read fiction, so mainly I read biographies. All of these books are totally different from each other. I think there is a book in everyone. Everybody has a story.
@casablanca I was in the middle of doing the write up for this photo when I hit the wrong button so the picture went up before the write up.
You were quick off the mark. I recommend all of them, each book has its own interest and the subject matter is different too.
Mainly they are Australian authors apart from Grayson Perry, Anne Glenconner and Tom Marcus. Probably best to read the write up on Google about each book and check them out for yourself.
Some of the books are old secondhand ones and some are new.
I mostly read fiction. I love thrillers. Just discovered Jane Harper (born 1980), an Australian author known for her crime novels The Dry, Force of Nature and The Lost Man. Her books are page turners...
I love looking at peoples books but of all the titles here the only one I have heard of is the top one. I’ve noticed when in NZ the book selection is completely different to ours in the UK mostly.
Different publishers I expect. I have read much more too this last few months.
@happypat We do get books from the UK, but mainly it is Australia and New Zealand. Most of these books are Australian authors apart from Anne Glenconner, Tom Marcus and Grayson Perry.
@gosia Pinch away love to see what you come up with.
@lesip@merrelyn I admit I am a bit old fashioned and much prefer books to either kindle or iPad reading. I find that strains my eyes too much. Books do take up a lot of space though. Most of our books are either biographies or reference books though and reference books on an iPad don't work. We rarely read fiction.
This makes a great photo Babs................I always read on my ipad now so don't have alot of books around anymore! I always like to see what other people are reading, I will check these out.
Looks like an excellent collection there Babs. I read constantly, always have several books of different types on the go, but would you believe I haven't read any of these? I read most of my fiction books on my Kindle, but others I want in hard copy.
@golftragic I don't read fiction and I am not a fan of Kindle because looking at the screen hurts my eyes. I do love at Cooks Hill and the prices are very reasonable. I haven't been there for a while but stocked up on my last visit.
@onewing I read across a very wide spectrum from fiction who-dun-its to academic tomes and lots in between. I can't read much on an iPad, the back-lighting makes my eyes hurt. The Kindle's fine though, it's very kind to my eyes.
