Book Feast

Feast or famine with my reading list.  I found a FEAST yesterday.

First -- I finished I Am Watching You (Teresa Driscoll).  The book read super quickly and was suspenseful.  The ending wasn't up to snuff though -- kind of lame.  She added little tidbits to the story that didn't seem to fit and those were the clues to wrap up the ending.  No spoilers.  It was fast and okay.  I guess the ending wasn't horrible, it was more that the book was so good, I expected more.  Good read for the beach or the plane.

I read the blog, Run for Cookies, and she recommended a running story, Depression Hates a Moving Target (Nita Sweeney).  I like an inspiring true story and since I have some running goals for 2020, thought this would be a good one to read.  I started it yesterday and I'll read it with my other fiction stuff.  I STILL can't comment on other people's blogs and it's driving me nuts.  One day, I'll call the Apple Ladies and figure out what changed on my settings.  I wanted to thank her for the recommendation.

Popular book ... Educated (Tara Westover).  Everyone has read it.  Everyone is talking about it.  I'm late to the game, but finally downloaded it.  It doesn't sound interesting to me, but it gets fantastic reviews.  I'm caving to peer pressure.

Bargain book ... Where The Story Starts (Imogen Clark).  Suspense book recommendation from Melissa Urban.  I was going to "send a sample" to remember the title, but it's only $1.99 on kindle right now.  Couldn't pass that up.

Big mama book ... Wanderers (Chuck Wendig).  800 pages.  Epidemic hits the world -- survival kind of book.  Awesome reviews.  I started this one last night.

From my bookshelf ... Just Mercy (Bryan Stevenson).  This is the true life legal book.  Sounds interesting and I have no memory of how it ended up on my bookshelf.  I think this will be a hard read given where we are in the US right now.  I'll add this to my January reading.

Also, from my bookshelf ... The Other Side of the Bridge (Mary Lawson).  Two generations in a small town ... this kind of emotional story.  Also have no idea when I got this book or why I never read it.

Lots of reading ahead and I'm here for it.  I was having such a tough time finding books I enjoyed.  I'm on a good streak.  Lots of interesting books.  Lots of variety.  Sometimes when the list is long, I get distracted by shiny new titles and never finish the list.  I'm going to try to get all the way through this one because they all seem really good.

Today is movie day -- Knives Out.  I heard it's good, but don't know much about it.  At any rate, I LOVE going to the movies during the day.

We were all set to see the Mr. Rogers movie and it's only playing at 9 IN THE MORNING!

I'm a morning person, but who goes to the movies at that time?  I didn't even know they were open that early.  Roll out of bed and into the movie seat.  Interesting.  Better than 9 pm, but still ...

My movie review coming tomorrow -- in case you're dying to know what I thought.

Have a happy Friday.  Last weekend before the big guy comes -- it's going to be a zoo out there.  Stay safe, stay sane, stay jolly.  Later gators.
