I’ve been reading more books! In between working, doing laundry and going to the donut festival I’ve been reading a couple of Lin Anderson books, a Joshua Moehling book called And There He Kept Her, and started a couple of others I didn’t like so I didn’t persist with those. Loving the internet archive and Libby, free entertainment to offset the cost of taking the Minipeelers out!

There’s plenty of options if you want to sus out a decent Z-lib mirror or get on tor to find the official deep web version.

The baseline kobos go pretty cheap too, or you could get a second hand kindle, jailbreak it - which is meant to be really easy, and install KOReader.

That’s the eBook app I use on my phone and it’s great. The interface is a bit intimidating at first, but it’s good once you get used to it

  I loved the style and characters of the Joshua Moehling book and wanted to read others but there weren’t any more I could borrow from my library. The Lin Anderson books are set in Scotland and are very gritty forensic detective novels. Luckily for me she’s a very prolific writer. The one I enjoyed the most so far was probably The Wild Coast, but I also really enjoyed Driftnet. I seem to be really enjoying the whole crime suspense thriller thing. It’s just pure page turner enjoyment for me.
  
  I ended up reading all of the Helen Forrester autobiographical books last week. I’ve gotten back into that old habits of mine where if I wake up during the night I’ll read for a few hours in the quietness (or what passes for it around here).

    I read them too. Sad to say I understand first hand most of her experience.
