If your care giving duties allow you time to read.....................I'm interested in what book you are in the middle of or just finished or have waiting on your bedside table.
I'm reading "Total Control" by David Baldacci
It's a crime/thriller drama. Quite compelling.
If you can't find the time to read, you should try. It helps to escape from it all in a good book.
I've read a few of James Patterson's books but also found more recently that they weren't that readable. In fact, I think they deteriorated. The last one I tried to read wasn't even worth finishing. I'll try again, but if the result is the same, they go into the donation pile.
Barb, I'm sure that I read Manfreya in the Morning, but I can't remember anything about it now!
It's interesting that Holt can create mysteries and anxiety through a slow buildup, through innuendos, and by raising questions in the reader's mind, while the action mystery writers (such as Clive Cussler) have a totally different, more aggressive (and more violent) method of creating mystery.
Cussler's books do address contemporary issues as bases for his mysteries. One of his books addressed fracking, another an AI singularity.
Latest book I read was Laurie R. King's Island of the Mad and it's a winner. It's set in 1925 Venice, mostly, and Cole Porter is a main supporting character, as is Elsa Maxwell. It's partly about the rise of Mussolini's Black Shirts, too.
My first degree in college I majored in English. I loved the literature classes, but Children’s Literature was my favorite. We had to do a 200 book bibliography. I gave it to my granddaughter last year. She’s over half way thru reading the books.
Thank you for mentioning that book "Death in Slow Motion".I googled it and read an excerpt from the book and it was great.I'm gonna try to find a copy at the Library.Thanks alot~
This book was written in 2003 and you can find it cheap on Amazon I think in the used books. I would not let this one out of my library EVER.
I got my Comic books from my Dad.Every Friday night,he'd take me up to Git n Go for an Icee and let me get some comic books and some penny candy too.
My other uncle worked for an airline and he would bring home books people had left on the planes.
Lol, my dad was a software developer, and all he brought home was swag from the latest IBM course his employer had sent him to.
They're so relaxing, inspirational and motivating.
I've just reread the 6 books of the Griffin and Sabine series, was initially captivated as I was when I first read them years ago, but was disappointed in the last book, which seemed to be created more quickly, with less thought, and didn't really explain some of the mysteries in the whole series.
On my Kindle, I am reading a book called "Three Women" by Lisa Taddeo, about 3 women's lives and desires. It's excellent!
I love to read but not if I feel I have just become greatly unsettled
There're just really short true stories from cat owners. I read one every night before I go to sleep. But I always have to go and hug my cats first. :)
If you like scary suspense novels I'd recommend it. It is her debut novel and well written.
Pretty big bucket list item there!
