Hope you week is going well. We are starting another one, may it bring us all good reads! One of my sisters visited a book shop recently and decided she felt like reading a book. Not having read for a long time she perused the shelves and alighted on The Seven Sisters by Lucinda Riley. Because as she told me we are seven girls in our family.
Later that week her five year old grand daughter saw her reading and said to her “Nanny you should really be using a bookmark”. She then made her a very glamorous one of a blue craft feather and piece of card and lovely sticker which Anne is using. I was very delighted with Miss Five Year Old!
What I read last week:
What I am reading now:
And I am about half way in listening to Barack Obama’s book! It’s a marathon!
Up next:
This is a backlist book, I’ve been wanting to read. So off the shelf it comes.
I hope your sister enjoys the book – and what a sweet story about the bookmark.
I’d like to try the Catherine Anderson book one day.
Have a good week!

I’ve heard so many good things about Lucinda Riley’s books! That’s a big one for someone who doesn’t read much to pick; I hope she is hooked by the story! My father-in-law never read books until he retired, and then he read all the time he wasn’t fishing!

How sweet of your sisters granddaughter to make her a bookmark. I’m a corner folder – as long as it’s my book. If it’s a borrowed book I find whatever piece of paper is close by.

Now your sister may read a little more often!
It’s hard to imagine, but there are many people who never read. And some who only read a book every now and then.
