Thread resurrection?
No-one ever buys me books (1. I don't live in the same country as my family so don't get any presents at all and even when I am in the same country 2. 'We don't know what you want') but I did treat myself to a load of Kindle downloads I've just started 'The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels' which looks to be a vaguely bizarre cross between steampunk, piracy, and fantasy with flying houses and Victorian matrons as pirate queens - but still with strict rules of decorum. So far so my cup of tea!

The only book I got for Christmas (other than the dozens I downloaded from Kindle unlimited) is Murdle by G T Karber. It’s logic puzzles which I’m finding challenging but loving it!
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
No books for me though Murdle sounds a good book as I love a good puzzle.
77 and counting, less of the "Old" call me "Mike"
Kindle Unlimited is brilliant, isn't it? I've discovered so many new great authors from it. Murdle sounds interesting - I love logic puzzles - so I'll look it up!
No reading books for me, just a manga art book
