Thanks so much everyone.
I use Libby for reading and after noticing Olive mentioned Kingsolver, went and did a search, all of her books are out, and the wait time is about 6 weeks, so have put about 5 on hold.
Ordered a couple of murders by Hakan Nesse, the first one seems good but only a couple, of chapters in so far.
Will check out McLaughlin and borrow those as well.
Problem is I love reading and nothing else seems to get done once the nose is in a book

Reading is the greatest gift we can give ourselves, imo. Where else do we get to travel, feel, learn, laugh, cry...
And all the rest?

Struggling at the moment to find something to get my teeth into.
Try Barbara Kingsolver's Demon Copperhead.
Oh I KNOW! Brilliant, read it recently & was inspired to re read David Copperfield. She's so good...

I must get around to reading Birnam Wood; I didn't much like her earlier one but this is said to be very different.
Just started The twat files, Dawn French, so far, so funny.

Peter May's A Silent Death. A Scottish cop in Spain with all the usual drugs and guns and interesting characters.
He writes rather well, a reliable author...

Thanks Hunni, I've ordered it. Our library has very recently launched a reservations app, and it works!
So I'm having a lovely time getting back into actual books.
I still prefer reading the Kindle in bed, but the frugality of library books has great appeal. If only their ebooks were compatible with a Kindle...
I've just finished Ann Patchett's Tom Lake, which was a bit folksy and winsome for my taste but I did find it hard to put down.
