I actually hold up the book for him to read while we discuss the story. I used to read the book, but now he prefers reading it himself while I hold the book up to the iphone camera.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461569436322815787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-52337696733179552882021-12-03T19:04:32.533-05:002021-12-03T19:04:32.533-05:00I love reading books.

Returned it and got a Kobo. Kobo is just black and white.

I'm looking forward to real snow, but all we've had is a dusting and treacherous ice.

I think they have the same software as your screengrab, telling me similar titles and authors. I've read every Ruth Galloway mystery they have.

I still enjoy romance, but I've been reading more cozy mysteries this year. They're great fun. I recently finished the Gilded Newport series by Alyssa Maxwell (Newport, RI in the 1890's with Vanderbilt connections) courtesy of the local county library. Great series.<br /><br />I also enjoy the Lady Hardcastle series by T. E. Kinsey, and the High Society Lady Detective series and Death of Location series by Sara Rosett.<br /><br />Linda McLaughlinLyndi Lamonthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08287496036021704884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-33974236844439846932021-12-01T15:22:41.946-05:002021-12-01T15:22:41.946-05:00Thank you for these books.

The colder weather will be keeping me inside more, and it's a good time to start in earnest.

Our upload speeds on the internet are painfully slow so if I have a lot of photos to upload I go the library and what takes hours at home takes literally one or two minutes.<br />I'm reading some Lisa Scottoline recently.Yogi♪♪♪https://www.blogger.com/profile/00411274031147372579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-69185430881975233832021-12-01T09:18:52.078-05:002021-12-01T09:18:52.078-05:00I read a lot.

No fines, for example. At one point, a library staff member would use a long ruler to push your reserved book the length of a table to you. Crazy times! I do use Libby to either read on my Kindle or listen to through my cell phone. On my bucket list is to take a tour of the Kingston prison. I'll have to try a Brenda Chapman mystery!
