Things Have Changed

Hi Everyone

I’ve not blogged for some time and boy things have changed around here!

I am still reading books but in a different way. I’ve found that audiobooks are easier for me to listen to than trying to read an ebook as my concentration levels have gone a tad AWOL due to health issues.

I listened to Sara Cox Biography ” Till the Cows Come Home” about her childhood living on a farm, caravan holidays and been bullied at school. Sara read the book too. I loved every single minute and found that I could relate with quite a lot of her memories including, unfortunately, been bullied at school.

More recently I’ve read The Switch by Beth O’Leary and narrated by Daisy Edgar-Jones & Alison Steadman. This was another fun filled listen which had me chuckling quite a few times.

Here’s what The Switch is all about

A grandmother and granddaughter swap lives in The Switch, a charming, romantic novel by Beth O’Leary.

When overachiever Leena Cotton is ordered to take a two-month sabbatical after blowing a big presentation at work, she escapes to her grandmother Eileen’s house for some long-overdue rest.

Eileen is newly single and about to turn eighty. She’d like a second chance at love, but her tiny Yorkshire village doesn’t offer many eligible gentlemen.

So they decide to try a two-month swap.

Eileen will live in London and look for love. She’ll take Leena’s flat, and learn all about casual dating, swiping right, and city neighbors. Meanwhile Leena will look after everything in rural Yorkshire: Eileen’s sweet cottage and garden, her idyllic, quiet village, and her little neighborhood projects.

But stepping into one another’s shoes proves more difficult than either of them expected. Will swapping lives help Eileen and Leena find themselves…and maybe even find true love? In Beth O’Leary’s The Switch, it’s never too late to change everything….or to find yourself.
