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.
Can't stand my boss.
Book by Florence Littauer
sorry, long day. 🫤
"Book hangover:
inability to start a new book because you're still living in the last book's world."
Before her death Sue Grafton had a delightful FB site. Just before she died someone sent her an old trunk full of memorabilia they found of her family including old dresses and quilts; she was so delighted.
Goodness. I never was much of a typist!
I did know that about baby's having more brain cells and that they get pruned as they aren't used. That's why early experiences are so important and it is much easier to learn other languages very young. Brains are very seriously interesting to me.
Plugging away at yet another murder mystery. I love the settings in the Cotswold in the UK.
As a neurologist who is dianosed with stage IV prostate cancer Dr Marsh deals in this latest book of his with the difference in being a doctor, and a doctor who is also a patient. Fascinating on any number of fronts.
For instance, are you aware that babies have more brain cells than at any other time in the life cycle. They are born pre programed to learn any language and its nuances, even several. Once they begin learning a language the extra cells begin to die off, called "pruning".
Or that our hearts beat on average 4Billion beats over our lives? All of us from a long lived Galapagos turtle to a mouse. So the mouse's heart over his lifespan beats 400 times a minute, but the galapagos turtle's only an average of 4 times a minute.
Just tripping over fascinating brain facts as I read. Loved it.
If you want to read it make sure you get the one by Hannah Beckerman, there is more than one book with that title.
A blurb calls it "sly and seething" and they got THAT right. I would like to thow the female protagonist into the fires of Hades myself.
I am about 2/3 through, to the point that the two manipulative men and two naive wives are so stupid I almost feel physically ill. I am definitely angry!
The Laurie R King book Back to the Garden was a disappointment too, the plot line was all over the place and I had a hard time even figuring out who the main protagonist was meant to be :(
This is NOT the right time for the solid stuff, like the History of the Papacy!
Elizabeth Elliot
At 13 she “escaped” North Korea only to be immediately trafficked by her smuggler in China. It details her oppressive life in NK and China. Rescued by South Korean missionaries, she lives in USA, and is an advocate for suffering NK victims, especially human trafficking. Timely reminder of the blessings we enjoy.
