I haven't had any Calibre books for over 2 weeks until today when 7 turned up. I had with it 2 RNIB which brings my stock up to 3. Apparently the industrial action by the post office is now over for a while but they have a really massive back log to clear. I have Malala on order fro some one but not sure now who. I was looking forward to getting it but now I want it even sooner. I have just finished reading Major Pettigrew's Last Stand which was so funny in places but with an underlying message. He lives in a rural middle class village not far from Hastings in East Sussex. A widower of 6 years and now 68 years old he becomes romantically involved with the beautiful Pakistani widow who keeps the village mini market. The reaction and prejudice of the locals and family down to him almost being forced to leave the exclusive golf club is so typical. A RNIB book but a very enjoyable read. Finished it last night so tonight will be a Calibre, first for a long time. Normally when a list is moved to a new host the list groans under the weight of messages being sent testing to check if they are members yet. I've just noticed the address of this one. I don't have to test I'm in.

I have been without a Calibre book for a few days, so have been reading Audible books. I have recently finished I Am Malala. It is an excellent autobiography of the girl from Pakistan who was shot by the Taliban. A very good read - well written, and her own voice comes over very well. It gives a good insight into the minds and hearts of folk in the Swat valley. Now I am reading Philomena by Martin Sixsmith. This has recently been made into a film. It is the story of a girl in 1950s Ireland who had her illegitimate baby taken away from her and sent to the USA. I am only part way through, but it is another, very different, but equally fascinating, read.
