So cool that you are reading books like that! I find that I'm reading so many Books here on Fanstory that I can't keep up with books outside of Fanstory. I listen to Audio books. Thanks for sharing that book review. My father-in-law loved that book.

    Hi Helen. Thank you. I do enjoy reading spy novels and especially ones by Le Carre... he is very good at that genre. I have limited myself to the stories/books that I follow on FS. Its like you said, there are so many... :)

I love that a good book can transport us to another time and place, and totally absorb us for a while. You've expressed that feeling quite well. Nice picture to accompany your words. Thanks for sharing. Blessings. Carol

    Just finished 'A Wreath of Snow' by Liz Curtis Higgs, set in Victorian UK. Sweet story.

Nice short one, Melissa. I use tom read a lot before I got hooked on FanStory. Vince Flynn's and Lee Child's books were my favorites. If you like Le Carre, I think you would like these others.

Indeed, you have found a great book.
I'm sure the author would be pleased to read your glowing comments.
Perfectly penned as always and with a clever message within.
Line three is definitely the clincher.
Blessings

Isn't it true? You can lead a different life when you're reading. You're right there, wherever the characters are. It's easy to lose yourself in a novel. You can learn what it's like to be a spy, a detective, a lawyer, or whatever. Excellent idea for a short one. judi

Ciao Sugarray!

Exactly!

Never been a big reader in the past but since I saw the Hobbit series in Dec 2021, I started reading stories about middle earth and elves and often I get so involved with the characters dramas that I feel I'm there .

Some characters are so well describe that I feel they truly exists.

I laugh, worry and cry with them.

Keep safe!

Beautiful senryu about the magic of reading books. We can experience adventures in far lands, crime thrillers, romance,, documentaries, comedy, and so much more.

Awesome presentation. Well done!

I love this as it really does transport us to another world and places we'd probably never go. I am always braver in my books that I read and write. Sending you my best today as always, and enjoy your book and banana bread.
I wish I could come over right now!!
