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.
Let's see what is the book? A freebie that I downloaded. "If She Knew" Book 1 of a series. Pretty good so far.
Also, free on Audible.
I have started the psychology book but I think I will read just a few pages every day and read something easier when I go to work by train.
When I arrived at my office I found a nice packet: a colleague offered me "the roaches have no king". I just don't know anything about this book... I am curious.
I also bought a book in French... And Murphy's law.
Plenty of books waiting for me. I have always read a lot but these last 2 years I had a kind of reader's block and read very few books.
Can’t you ask the librarian to order it for you? I do that. They will get it from another branch.
I also wanted to mention the Miss Fisher series by Kerry Greenwood. My husband and I really enjoyed the show and I just got the first book it was based on.
It’s a book written by a Christian, Jew and Muslim about Moses and other common threads.
I heard an interview with one of the authors. Sounds intriguing. He said that they agreed on 98% of things. The other 2% were minor issues.
I am planning to order it.
Thanks. Guess I will start reading it and put it down if I don’t like it.
Have you read anything by David Baldacci? My daughter’s boyfriend bought ‘The Fallen’ and gave it to me to read. I haven’t started it yet.
He loved reading it. Says it’s very suspenseful.
A series summary from Goodreads - "In 1929 London, former servant Maisie Dobbs starts her own business as a psychologist and investigator in this unique and gripping historical mystery series"
I'll keep looking though.
CWillie, thanks for that great news! I'll be watching for the 2021 series of All Creatures Great and Small. In the meantime, I'm trying to remember where the rest of Herriot's books are; I can only find one. Lately I've been wondering where a lot of books I haven't read in decades are now hiding.
It's also tremendously inspiring - I admire anyone who chooses a medical profession, especially one treating animals, and who makes him or herself available 24/7 to help suffering creatures in need.
It also makes me think of being tougher. Birthing a calf or sheep in the middle of a blizzard requires a lot of strength and perseverance.
Pam, I haven't heard of that series.
I think one of the problems is the area in which I live. Choices of tv programs seem to be very specific, and generally lousy. My sister in a more upscale area had options for French and German programs, within the general channel lineup. Here they cost extra. The general lineup includes those tacky personal programs of attention oriented wanna bees with what I consider garish lifestyles.
