I've been fascinated by the JFK assassination since I was a kid. My grandmother had a book on her shelf that was called 4 Days. It had many pictures from November 22, 1963. There were plenty of photos that I had never seen before. I spent countless hours looking at that book. When we had … Continue reading Book Recommendation: The 9th Man by Steve Berry

Book Recommendation: My Grandmother Asked Me To Tell You She’s Sorry
“Having a grandmother is like having an army. This is a grandchild's ultimate privilege: knowing that someone is on your side, always, whatever the details. Even when you are wrong. Especially then, in fact. A grandmother is both a sword and a shield.” - Fredrik Backman After reading Backman's Anxious People, many people who were … Continue reading Book Recommendation: My Grandmother Asked Me To Tell You She’s Sorry
Book Recommendation – Killers of Certain Age
I was pleasantly surprised while reading this book. Admittedly, I was drawn in by the title. I looked it up on Goodreads and after reading about it, decided to give it a shot. Here was their synopisis: Older women often feel invisible, but sometimes that's their secret weapon. They've spent their lives as the deadliest … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Killers of Certain Age
Book Recommendation: Anxious People
Before I begin, I need to thank Beth (www.ididnthavemyglasseson.com) for recommending this book. She read it awhile back and I added it to my "Want to Read/To Be Read" list. I'm only sorry it took so long to get to it. It was fantastic. This book has me laughing out loud from the second paragraph! … Continue reading Book Recommendation: Anxious People
Wednesday Reading
Every Vow You Break is the third Peter Swanson book I have read this year. So far he's 3 for 3. I have enjoyed each one of his books and will add his remaining 7 to my list of books to read. This one was a bit more of a suspense/thriller than the last two. … Continue reading Wednesday Reading
Weekend Book Recommendations
With my shift change, my drive is a bit longer because of traffic. It doesn't bother me, though, because it gives me a bit more time with the audio books I am listening to. The extra time (and extra day's commute) is also allowing me to get through each book a little faster than before. … Continue reading Weekend Book Recommendations
Timely Book Recommendations
Today is National Book Lover's Day! Incidentally, it is totally a coincidence that I have a couple books to share with you. With all that's going on this way, I haven't really planned that much ahead. I recently finished two books that I really enjoyed and wanted to share with the other book lovers who … Continue reading Timely Book Recommendations
Book Thoughts
If you are watching a movie or a TV show, you can turn it off or walk out if you are done with it. In the same way, you can just stop reading a book. That doesn't happen often for me, but I almost stopped reading both of them. Both of them just seemed slow … Continue reading Book Thoughts
Book Recommendation: Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice For Murders
I just finished listening to the audio version of this book by Jesse Q. Sutanto. I guess this is what folks refer to as a "cozy mystery." I really don't know what that means, but I will tell you that I liked it. As someone who reads a lot of mysteries, this one kept coming … Continue reading Book Recommendation: Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice For Murders
Some Books I’ve Read
It's been a bit since I offered up some thoughts on my recent reads, so I thought I would share a few with you. (The one I am currently reading is very good and will review separately when I finish.) I really enjoyed this book. I certainly gained some insight into Abraham Lincoln and learned … Continue reading Some Books I’ve Read
