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.
Fascinating topic. Mayhem and triumphs throughout history, right? Every generation has it’s challenges and achievements.
I am presently reading The Dysautonomia Project. It was suggested reading by my daughter’s cardiologist/dysautonomia specialist. She has dysautonomia along with several chronic disorders. I have been on a mission to educate myself about this invisible illness.
Y2K: A Reasoned Response to Mass Hysteria
by Dave Hunt
Y2K never happened.
Dave Hunt was an American Christian apologist, speaker, radio commentator and author. He was in full-time ministry from 1973 until his death. A prolific best-selling author, international lecturer, and Bible teacher, his writings have been translated into at least 50 languages. More than four million copies of Dave’s books have been sold. For nearly a decade, Dave also co-hosted a weekly radio program, Search the Scriptures Daily, broadcast on over 400 stations in the U.S. and worldwide.
You’re right about the Plum novels are sometimes tedious. She doesn’t put them out as often anymore. I can’t even remember a recent one that I can name, but I still enjoy them when they’re out. (Silly me, they’re all by the numbers.)
Sometimes high expectations ruin the enjoyment but Lulu and Grandma Mazur are always fun.
I'm currently reading a sci-fi series by Marissa Meyer, titled Scarlet (book 2)... First time to read this author.... Book one ended as a cliffhanger.
I was listening to YouTube "People Share their Most Unexplained Experiences". The OP mentioned a book: The Gift of Fear. I checked Amazon. Hmmm I bought this book? Yes, I did. I'm going to read this along side Meyer's. I bet this Gift of Fear will have some great personal experiences of people's gut feelings!
"Mr Holmes, they were the footprints of a gigantic hound!"
"I trust I have not inadvertently..." "Just a little," said Holmes, with some acerbity.
"He was running, Watson, running for his life!"
" - Is there no such thing as a gentleman!"
This sampling includes Air Force men from WW11. Another details the life of Black Americans In Aviation , the 1975 edition (this title given me by a Black customer, whom, when I was leaving my West Coast life for the South, he thought it would be a good education to know about the Tuskegee Airmen. He wrote the book along with one other black man in aviation and they worked at General Dynamics. It's really neat to have this autographed copy.
A neighbor/friend of Dads who was a POW in East Europe during the war gave me a copy of his war diary. A Department of Defense publication (dated 1969) about how to build fallout shelters is in the collection.
My grandma had a couple cookbooks - a 1915 economy cookbook and a Donner Party Cookbook. My grandma also had a book about Rosie the Riveter.
I believe in controlling clutter and just "stuff" that collects from time-to-time. Over the years and with each move, many books have been donated.
As of now I still can not part with these books. They cost me nothing but mean everything. These are among the few books/items/furniture that have followed me to every address I've ever known.
I'm still working my way through The Great British Detectives, and am well into the Father Brown series by G.K Chesterton. I like the character of Father Brown in these short stories but am kind of missing longer tales.
I guess I'll have to read on my desktop for now 😣
and believe me, that's a lot of coloring.
And thanks for sharing the humor around.
