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.
It’s a book written by a Christian, Jew and Muslim about Moses and other common threads.
I heard an interview with one of the authors. Sounds intriguing. He said that they agreed on 98% of things. The other 2% were minor issues.
I am planning to order it.
Thanks. Guess I will start reading it and put it down if I don’t like it.
Have you read anything by David Baldacci? My daughter’s boyfriend bought ‘The Fallen’ and gave it to me to read. I haven’t started it yet.
He loved reading it. Says it’s very suspenseful.
A series summary from Goodreads - "In 1929 London, former servant Maisie Dobbs starts her own business as a psychologist and investigator in this unique and gripping historical mystery series"
I'll keep looking though.
CWillie, thanks for that great news! I'll be watching for the 2021 series of All Creatures Great and Small. In the meantime, I'm trying to remember where the rest of Herriot's books are; I can only find one. Lately I've been wondering where a lot of books I haven't read in decades are now hiding.
It's also tremendously inspiring - I admire anyone who chooses a medical profession, especially one treating animals, and who makes him or herself available 24/7 to help suffering creatures in need.
It also makes me think of being tougher. Birthing a calf or sheep in the middle of a blizzard requires a lot of strength and perseverance.
Pam, I haven't heard of that series.
I think one of the problems is the area in which I live. Choices of tv programs seem to be very specific, and generally lousy. My sister in a more upscale area had options for French and German programs, within the general channel lineup. Here they cost extra. The general lineup includes those tacky personal programs of attention oriented wanna bees with what I consider garish lifestyles.
Thanks for sharing that. I'm really feeling myself drawn to the Dales just from thinking about Herriot's masterful tales of being a veterinarian in that area.
Loved your comment about bare chested men. I also often judge a book by its cover, defying the adage not to. The bare chested men and breathless women are good clues that it's not a story I want to read.
I'm just finishing The Flight Girls, about the WASPS. This is the third read, and I'll probably read it again later.
This morning as I was looking over my book collection, I spied a James Herriot novel. It's been years, if not decades, since I read his delightful adventures of being a vet in the Yorkshire Dales, so it's time to reread one of his books again. They're so relaxing, and he had such a way of describing veterinary practice that I was always entertained (and glad that I never wanted to be a vet for large animals in cold winter areas.)
The scenery is part of the attraction for me for series set in Britain. I lived there for some years and really enjoy seeing it again on TV.
Just starting the Bulldog Drummond section of my Great British Detectives.
Great suggestion! I know a couple of people that I could give that book to as a birthday gift! LOL. Eh, may not exactly be a welcome gift though.
The read bestseller fiction and non fiction books daily, along with newspapers, magazines and medical journals.
I'm so cheap I get a library copy, and if I'm quick without having to wait.
I will now start a historical novel about Venice. Iam also waiting for the 5th volume of Robert Galbraith. I have read the first four in English. I know it was released on the 15th September but I will wait for the paper back edition to become a little bit cheaper.
