[CLKD]

I've not taken much interest previously although I read a lot.  There's a programme on right now which I'm using as a filler 'cos there's not much on.  I grew up in the 1950s/60s with predominantly white authors but it wasn't in my face.

MayB I don't interpret words as others do but I rarely look to see the nationality of a book's author. 

[Sparrow]

I tend to read more male authors then female.

No idea why.

[Sparrow]

Oh, we need a psychologist to work this one out. 🤔

[CLKD]

 . ........ my problem is that I read a good book but am not able to remember .......... 

I tend to buy according to reviews in the Sat papers and what I see in Postscript and years ago Book People.  I'm not crafty but can source suitable books for relatives who are.

I likes a browse in Waterstones usually ........

A few books in recent years I've started and had to put down, a few months later I've got into it to the end.

Shadyglade I'm the opposite😊

  So am I the opposite though there are exceptions.

[CLKD]

I choose a book in a shop for the cover, title and decide if it will appeal.  Never look at the author unless it's a book that I am searching for.

I'm similar CLKD.  The author I'm interested in after I've finished the book. I open a random page and read it. If it's well written I'll buy it regardless of genre. I've just finished a Marian Keyes and now I'm reading David Copperfield by Dickens. I've read all sorts!

[C.C.]

I'll read Stephen King before anyone else.  Nationality doesn't matter but I also enjoy books written by British authors.  I did read a bunch of random books during the lockdown, mostly light stories to keep my mood up.

[CLKD]

I can't get on with Marian Keyes.   

[Jane50]

Well strictly speaking I listened to Marian Keyes on Audible whilst doing my cross stitch. The Woman who stole my Life. Quite the menopause title 

[CLKD]

Listening and doing Xstitch, there's me: can't even thread a needle 

[Jane50]

Sometimes I drink tea too! The height of multi-tasking! 

[CLKD]

  ...... does some one made the cuppa for you ...... ?

[Jane50]

No I manage to do that too!
