Hello Dutchman, would this be the right place to have a what are you reading now thread ?


My latest purchase from Amazon:
Mary Tudor and the Lost Kingdom, Robert Neville. This is a novel with a surprising perspective on the short reign of Mary Tudor and wich splits the action between events in England and in Central America set in 1556. and the search for Eldorado. a fascinating read.

I've just finished HMS Wasp - Peter J Holloway.

Tales of national service onboard a Royal Naval sloop (corvette to you and I). Good, if lightweight read, but I suspect written through heavily rose tinted spectacles. I'll bet he didn't enjoy it quite as much at the time.

I currently have rather a lot of free books from Amazon sitting on my iPad.

Is ipad similar to Kindle, rebbonk?

I have a few freebies on my kindle, but can't always get what I want that is free.

The iPad is a quite a bit different to the kindle, but I only use mine for reading books. I rarely buy books these days as there are so many good quality ones downloadable for free. (I do still win a few, and I'm regularly given books to review for a military site.)

Might I suggest that you start here for seeking out freebies on Amazon and smashwords...

Sometimes what you want isn't free, but often a little patience pays off!

Yes, perfect!

I'm not a big reader myself, having dyslexia doesn't help.
