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.
Truly something everyone should read during the pandemic. Helps to understand the how and why behind everything that happens.
ITRR - and anyone interested - The Great Influenza by Barry is available in pdf free.
I love Trinity County. We always went as a family, kids, grandkids to a place just outside Coffee Creek, cabins, no TV or anything, fishing, hiking. What a joy that place is. Just bikes and badminton and the Trinity running virtually outside the door. They have a page on Facebook; Ripple Creek Cabins. Haven't been back in years now, Miss it. Such an empty and beautiful place, that area of California.
Glad, I got the freeby you mentioned - "If She Knew" and will read that when I have finished the GBD series. Happy you are liking your Kindle.
I hurt my shoulder doing exercises so I have a great excuse (reason?) to spend lots of time resting it and reading for the next few days. 😊
Now reading " What Are you Going Through" by Sigrid Nunez.
Coming soon from Amazon is "Magic: A history From Alchemy to Witchcraft from The Ice Age to the Present." by Chris Gosden. He's an Oxford Archaeologist. It's gotta be good, right? I am going to consider it educational; hoping it doesn't lead to a whole new career path moving forward.
[Where's the icon for tongue-in-cheek - ???]
Impressive list! What is your favorite time to read? My husband often falls asleep with a book on his chest.
And that Witch book? Only kidding. 30.00 at Amazon. Rich for my blood. Have to wait for libraries to reopen. I was reading the New York Times Book Section on Sunday and say it mentioned and just doubled up with laughter. Said to the Beau, I can't WAIT until the "What are you Reading Thread comes round again".
Is Kindle your favorite way to read?
Don’t laugh but I listen to my local radio station for the blind. They read phenomenal books. It’s a non profit station. Books are read by marvelous volunteers. Just as many sighted people listen as blind listeners.
I love to read before I go to sleep but sometimes especially if I'm reading a really good book saying to myself "just one more chapter" usually turns into an all nighter. Hubs always says "try to make this one last longer" Obvious he's not a reader with that remark. :)
I became interested when we had a horrific homicide near my old high school - very similar to this case but the husband escaped and is on the FBI's Most Wanted List.
It's sad how one person's actions affect so many especially the ones who worked directly on the case. Detective Dave Baumhover having to take a leave of absence (if he hasn't already retired) due to PTSD. Also, have seen the interview with Tammy Lee who did the polygraph test/interrogation interview.
I still remember, NobodyGetsIt, the interviews with Chris Watts, his standing there in front of the garage with his arms crossed, remember thinking "This isn't good at all". Looked like a liar from the getgo. What an unimaginable thing.
Shanann and close friend, Nickole Atkinson were arriving back from our state late the night before the murders. I saw Nickole do a raw self interview in her car telling everyone how badly this has impacted her own life. I feel for everyone who has been directly impacted by this whole thing.
The scariest part to me is looking at the family pictures and videos and how they really "looked" like a wonderful, loving couple and family often wearing matching clothing.
Seriously after that, if I were to lose my husband, I would never ever date much less marry again - NO WAY!
A Killers Wife, I thought was quite good a completely unexpected twist at the end.
