Finding the Next Read!


There are my TBR books--sitting on the table, just waiting for the opportunity for someone (me!) to decide on which one to read!

I already begun "Not Quite Dead Yet" by Holly Jackson.
Daughter said it was a good read; kept her on the edge of the seat, quickly turning pages--
not so much for me.  It's an okay book.  I'm reading it at bedtime--and yes, I can put it down!
I'll finish it--I have my ideas about who is guilty..............

Also, started "A Good Girl's Guide to Murder" by Holly Jackson.  An okay read--not
earth shaking-- I found out there is a movie--might just watch the movie

"Upward Bound" by Woody Brown.  About three weeks ago, our daughter posted in family chat about Woody Brown from an article she had seen in New York Times.

Then couple weeks after that, Today morning show interviewed Woody and his mother to promote his book.  It sounds intriguing.  How someone who can't talk can write a book.

In March, we had visitors who like to read as much as I do--we took one afternoon to scout out the new bookstore in our neighborhood plus visit resell bookstore-- rewards were gathered!

George Bellaris, whom I'd never heard of, had a huge section of mystery books in the resell shop--written during Agatha Christi's time.
I couldn't find the first in his series of inspector Littlejohn, so picked up
"The Case of the Famished Parson"
dated to the period time but a quick, enjoyable read.  I'll return this book and pick up
another Littlejohn book in the near future.

"Murder Among the Stacks" is part puzzle (word search) part mystery.
This is going to my friend, who loves word searches.

Two other books from resell shop:
Richard Osman "The Bullet That Missed"

Frances Brody "Dying in the Wool"
Both will be quick reads!

Two books by Kathie Lee Gifford are in my pile
I began listening to
"Herod and Mary" on a long road trip.  The audio is read by the author--she has a smoothing voice, 
but on a long driving journey, it was too smoothing!  I found myself getting sleepy so I switched to Rock music!  I decided to finish the book with my eyes!
and her other book
"Nero and Paul"--these are both books based on the Bible.

That's the tangible books I have--not counting the books on my tablet or on Audible or
Everand!  
So many choices!  So little time!
