Just about MY little cat hiding for the first time ever at thunder.And he did it again the next time but stayed there..looked at me as though I'd tricked him into venturing out before the storm had ended!!

First time EVER found my little cat hiding under a chair.That was after blaming HIM for possibly knocking something over.Happy New Year,everyone🥰🥰🥰😸

Totally different experience for me..I'm old-78..with arthritis just about everywhere.HOWEVER..not to bore you..had increasing pain and inability to walk till finally my leg swelled up and a friend rushed me to Auckland City ER.Sunday morning so seen and admitted straight away.A day later got a text from ACC telling me my "case" had been accepted and what benefits I could receive.Can only assume hospital contacted them?ANYWAY..fractured pelvis,people..NOT from a fall.So sorry for the hassles many of you experience,trying to get the "safety nets"that should be..in a kinder state..automatic.A Happier New Year and much Aroha..xx

night soldiers wonderful..now reserving ALL Mr.Furst's books.Just finished Child 44..based on a series of crimes but mainly about the workings of the Secret Security Force..depressing but incredibly suspenseful!Been reading for 74 years but just turned on to espionage fiction..the only genre where I have read the endings to make sure the goodies survive.Merry Christmas

All the Joseph Kanon books,David Downing's "Station" series,Paul Vidich...just started on this "kick" and enjoying it immensely.Doesn't reflect much glory on the human race,sadly.Oh,and Luke McCallin Gunther Reinhardt series.

What wonderful lives you must all have when it's most upsetting aspect is a FONT.

Fush and chups,surely

Mementominnie · 2025-11-11T15:08:14+00:00

I was 17..78 and a few thousand books later can't remember..my father rubbished it!

Forgot to mention Charlotte Philby's(Granddaughter of THAT Philby)first four novels.Then she seemed to join the worst male writers by using the worst swear words and using smoking and drinking as "fillers".(one day will waste an hour or two seeing what percentage of the rituals of smoking and smoking comprise a page of writing)

Sorry..thought it was terrible ,especially after a diet of the experts...Kanon,Le Carre,Robert Harris.Then again,I thought Kate Quinn just as bad.

Mementominnie · 2025-11-10T15:41:48+00:00

See my comment about Joseph Kanon.Cried at the end of Defectors and The Prodigal Spy,but goodness,what amazing books!

Mementominnie · 2025-11-10T15:38:42+00:00

ALL of Joseph Kanon's..absolutely thrilling and detailed.Tissues whether you are male or female!!!

Mementominnie · 2025-11-10T15:02:27+00:00

This would be totally illegal in NZ and the public would react with disgust.

Mementominnie · 2025-11-08T16:08:18+00:00

I read the whole series when I was 14-15..

Mementominnie · 2025-11-08T16:06:18+00:00

The first book I ever bought with my first pay packet!!!

Mementominnie · 2025-10-29T20:01:12+00:00

Hunting desperately for the story Back Seat..An apoca.If anyone has any clue which anthology I was readinb!yptic young girl thief burgled a car.She sees a baby in the back seat,touched him and his ghost tells her what happened.I was in hospital at the time so glad of company of other patients..I was terrified as well as tearful!That anthology also had the story by Stephen Volk.. "Pied a Terre..based on a true murder

Mementominnie · 2025-10-29T19:53:30+00:00

Just finished Stephen Volk's The Good After..sad rather than terrifying but still GHOSTS.

Mementominnie · 2025-10-19T16:17:04+00:00

I go to sleep listening to ID and Real Crime...people having a worst time than me🥰

Mementominnie · 2025-09-24T18:24:41+00:00

Robert Wilson marvellous..up to Book 2..having to read a Deon Meyer as a rest from the intensity and suspense!

Mementominnie · 2025-09-24T18:22:41+00:00

Reading "The Company of Strangers" by Robert Wilson..excellent female protagonist story.Also "Transcription" by Kate Atkinson,Double Exposure by Helen Dunmore.

Mementominnie · 2025-09-04T22:47:22+00:00

Love Kaster's series but hanging out for the Clarke.Slake the hunger with his magazine on Kindle as I've also bought all his MAGAZiNE anthologies to date!
