Ode to the moon.

I woke very early this morning, and saw the moon and thought I wish I could write a poem about the moon. But I must admit I really don't get on with poetry I have tried, nursery rhymes I can do with the grandchildren , but poetry I cannot. Maybe because at school it always the boring bits of poetry that the teachers taught put me off. Mind you I must admit I do like Edward Lear I somehow connect to him, strange.

Murder mystery.

I found a book for the coming winter to read,Mystery In White, byJ.Jefferson Farjeon.
I have not come across this author before, so it will be interesting to read this book.
He is not a well known author for today's readers, but was a major figure during the Golden Age of murder between the two world wars.
He had the skill of making his books rather creepy, which I think is ideal for winter reading.
This story is based on a train being stuck in the countryside in winter, that's why I have chose it for a book to read in winter and it's a murder mystery. I enjoy reading about murder mysteries on trains.
So by the looks of things this is going to be a really good read.
So when I finish it I will let you know if I enjoyed it , I got a funny feeling I will.

Back to reading.

I have found my Miss Read books, I know a lot of people turn their noses up at her books, but I enjoy them, they are my comfort reads. I like thrillers, detectives books ,history, but I just could not get into them just lately , so I have turned to my comfort reads. At least I am back reading for me that's is the main thing.
I always try a new author and never turn my nose up even at fifty shades of grey, which was ok, but hey we are all different and it would be boring if we all liked the same books.

Reader's block.

Haven't been here for a very long time! I sort of lost interest in reading, if you count reading cookery books, craft and gardening books as reading in a way, then I am alright .
I have got my comfort books which I turn to every so often, but I need to find new authors to whet my appetite.
At the moment I am reading the Dales of Parkhill. I don't know if anyone remembers Mrs Dale's Diary, that used to be on the radio many years ago? I vaguely do, well this book is about Mrs Dale's Diary. It's  about all the characters who starred in the programme. I found it in a second hand bookshop and thought it might be interesting and it is. When I finish it I will write about it. I doubt if anyone would be interested in it.
But I must really get back to reading . I have got a reading block. If anyone can suggest any good authors or books, I would be most grateful
