Playing #anditsaugust catch-up now that I'm back with my books for a few days. Here are two with #drinksoncovers I feel like the tagged book' series #needsmorelove - yes Hitchhiker's Guide is a killer series, but I ❤️ Dirk Gently a little bit more.
#anditsaugust #needsmorelove To understand why this book, I need to tell you a story.
When I was 12, I was given a single volume of Lord of the Rings for Christmas. I read and reread that book until my father eventually decided enough was enough. He took it and put it on a high shelf in a closet until I read Fahrenheit 451. I didn't read any sci-fi after that.
Several years later, and this book made me fall in love with sci-fi. @RealLifeReading
The monthly photo challenges here on #Litsy has taught me a lot about my reading habits...for instance I don't really read obscure little books or books that #needsmorelove
Most of what I read is rather well known.
So here is a photo of my Ted Dekker collection and I would like to see more on and about his work on social media as well as #CharlesMartin and more #SouthAfricanAuthors

A slightly under-the-weather Sunday with asthma junk has had me napping most of the day but I did manage to make Nigella's Tomato Rice Soup (a cheat's recipe that uses good jarred sauce) 😆👍for #soupersundays & as I read the 2nd book first, I'm finally getting around to reading this book. Nods to @Lizpixie for reminding me with her #needsmorelove post yesterday.❤️Link to the soup recipe with my add-ins (artichoke hearts & basil) is👇🏻 #soup🍲❤️
Olivia Laing #needsmorelove I haven't read To the River yet but the other two are really interesting. The tagged book is about writers and their connection with alcohol & The Lonely City is about loneliness in artists/writers and in their work. She brings her own life into both books but it's done in a way that doesn't distract from the people she writes about. Recommend for anyone that likes reading non-fiction books about writers #anditsaugust
Day 12 #AndItsAugust #NeedsMoreLove There are plenty of good British crime authors but Elizabeth Haynes is a favorite of mine who doesn't seem to get as much recognition as some others. I think her books need more love. She writes dark & twisty, whether standalones or her police procedural series (2 books so far). To illustrate the lack of love & recognition, I've been waiting for a new book from her & somehow missed that one came out last year.😬
#anditsaugust Day 12 I first read this in middle school and loved it. I have it in hardback and on my Kindle. 😁I'm planning to reread it this year. #needsmorelove #onsale
