That will keep you busy for a while. 🙂 Up till now I have only seen movies based on her books but I'm waiting for Rebecca from the library. I don't remember much of the film other than it was good.

Waiting for the book from the library, I pick up - again - Chris Whitaker's novel "We begin at the end", which I have tried a couple of times earlier. And this time it works - it is a very good book and was awarded Winner of the CWA Gold Dagger 2021.

That book proved too complicated to follow and it was returned to the library. Instead I brought back home John le Carré 'The Night Manager' published in 1993. I believe it has been made a TV series as well.

Sorry, but I live in Florida and I hear the Salamanders are coming with flamethrowers. 😉

As for me, I really only read a few pages at a time these days, although decades ago somehow I read books that were hundreds of pages long.

Haha, Mr. Bradbury -- maybe now I am one of the walking books, although I think it would be fair to categorize me as a miscellany.

I have just finished "When we were Vikings" by David McDonald
The central character is a neurodiverse young woman.
If that hasn't put you off YOU MUST READ IT

Currently reading "A Beginner's Guide To Murder" which I'm struggling with.
