I love it CM! I am hooked on it. Hey, I listen to some of the BBC stuff on NPR. It’s great!

Now you have me curious about your falling out with BBC.

That sounds absolutely fantastic, NHWM. I'm a big radio fan (or I was before I fell out with the BBC over... never mind!) and this sounds like a wonderful resource.

Don’t laugh but I often listen to WRBH. It is a local station for the blind. It’s a small studio located on Magazine St. here in New Orleans. It’s a non profit and volunteers read fiction and non fiction, also major newspapers, magazines, medical journals, etc.

As many sighted people listen to it as blind. Check it out. WRBH.org. You can look up the website and find the program listings for what they are reading. Tons of local and national authors.

Anything from classics to science fiction. They also read lots of biographies. It’s fantastic. Every now and then the author will read his own book. What a treat! All sorts of people from famous to everyday people volunteer to read.

tree artist - just saw this. Rosa is the duck.🦆 😊 The last of the series (so far) came out this year, so there may be some you haven't read.

Currently reading the Lord Peter Wimsey mystery series by Dorothy L Sayers  - more light reading.

Glad, it is a wonderful book, for sure. Just finished Anne Tyler's Clock Dance.

I'm also reading The Perfectionists by Simon Winchester about the beginnings of precision in machining.

Received The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks from dd2 for Xmas. She has a way of choosing great books! Sounds fascinating, even disturbing and non-fiction.

In The Heart Of The Sea by Nathaniel Philbrick. An engrossing tale of survival at sea from the days of Nantucket whalers, circa 1820. I just learned it was filmed so at some point I hope to see what a good director can do with this powerful story.

I’ve been reading a lot of books by Robert Dugoni & Chad Zunker. I read when I go to bed because it helps to stop my mind from constantly thinking about what is going on in my life.

I ended up joining the Amazon Kindle unlimited for $9.99 a month because I read so much & found it cheaper for me to do it this way. I believe you can have 10 books at a time & their unlimited reading books are by many different authors.

Golden, it’s been years since I read and listened to the series. I’m searching my memory......isn’t Rosa the duck? That’s funny!

treeartist - Thanks. I grew on the border of Quebec (province not city), essentially in French Canada. These books triggered many happy childhood memories. I can hear the accents in my head. I am sure I would enjoy the audio version. Does Rosa have a French Canadian accent? lol I'll check my local library. They aren't known for having a broad selection.

Golden, give yourself a treat and start the Louise Penny series over again, but this time use the audio versions. That’s what I did after reading them all. The man who narrates is amazing and you get to hear the French accents of the characters. I listened to an interview with Louise Penny in which she said that the narrator insists on recording her books without previously reading them so that his narration is fresh. I think even the author is in awe of him! I never paid for one audio book - either I could get it on a CD through my local library or more recently, they now have digital copies.

Sadly, I finished the Inspector Gamache series by Louise Penny. Loved them . I am into Alexander Smith McCall's "Portuguese Irregular Verbs" series having finished his "Corduroy Manson" series. So far I liked it better.

I just finished a new release on Janis Joplin. Sad and a waste it was for her to die so young,her addiction was so strong before and after her fame she probably wouldn't have lasted long. For all those who have overcome addiction it is a testament to your character. Perhaps one achieves or rediscovers that character when they are able to overcome that force that has kept them captive.

I have to retract my opinion of the Fern Michael series I mentioned before. Just couldn't force myself to get interested.
I grabbed a Debbie McCumber at the library today. Hopefully I can submerge myself in some easy reading before sleepy time tonight.

Still on “Grandmother and the Priests” by Taylor Caldwell. I read right to relax right before sleeping, and I’ve only been able to read for a few minutes each night before the sandman comes. But each chapter has a different story told by a different priest. The story is a woman’s childhood memories of her boisterous and profane grandmother and the group of priests who regularly came to dine at her home, and tell stories. I read it as a kid. I love Taylor Caldwell.

The Book of Unknown Americans was my favorite lately.

Found this author recently. Nancy Naigle and the book is Hope for Christmas. I tend to read romance, good ending type stuff. And I also checked out a couple of Fern Michaels that are part of the Sisterhood series. Those are kind of more mystery types.
One time I was reading a Nora Roberts book and the first couple of pages seemed pretty interesting like the other ones and all of a sudden things got gory. I kept reading because I was already into it, and a lot of her books aren't always that graphic. Montana Sky.
I really like author Carla Neggars just for the descriptions of where her books are set. The New England states and Ireland and England.
The Sharpe and Donovan Series is really good IMO.

I just finished an excellent novel that I would highly recommend. It's The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah.

It's quite a thick book but I had it finished in three days.
