And then two years later...

And then two years later...

Life or GOD has once again place so much on my plate (or so it seems), that it has taken time to get to the point I am in now. All most normal. I have continued to read, as readers know it is part of our lives like breathing in air.

I have meant to sit down and just let my book-thoughts get "outdoors". No one may read these lines but it is nice to see them (thoughts) elsewhere besides floating inside of my head (there is not much room after 60 yrs of hording words and stories)! But the love of good books is never far from my daily plans.

So much to tell you on what I have read in all these months. The best author I found is sadly not writing any longer. But Stieg Larsson did write a trilogy of fiction-drama books. He wrote a lot of other material mostly non-fiction in his native Norwegian. I really did enjoy THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO/THE GIRL WHO LIKED TO PLAY WITH FIRE and THE GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNET'S NEST.

I read a biography by a good friend of Larrson and it leaves me to wonder if Larrson had not written from a personal side of his? The movies are well done but not the last one. You must read the last book (a little tedious ) but worth the effort it connects all the dots.

Did I tell you of the author Sandra Dallas, I'll check if I didn't I will write next about this author.

Well, glad I took my first plunge and I hope to see you soon.Blessings to all out there!

Life Continues...

If you have at all read any of my old blogs you will (sort of) that illness had decided to visit me and mine. Life, it has a way of providing that 'change' of scenery that we at times take for granted.I never realized it had been so long since my last blog. If you've (?) thought I was gone for good, well I'm back. I thank GOD that I am a reader, I don't know what I would have done through all these months if it wasn't for my rosary and my public library. Life is allowing GOD to show me a more normal time now, I hope it will last until my sick memories fade a little. The rosary is God's answer to us both as a pacifier and as a panic button (to be used as often as needed). But here is a list of some of the books that have helped me keep from going over the edge and protesting the Vatican as to why we can't join a convent with a husband in tow (joke).

The first great thing is that I have discovered a new mystery-crime-detective author; he is Henning Mankell-THE RETURN OF THE DANCING MASTER-great read and that took me to search out other works of his that have been translated from the Swedish language.

A new entry of my favorite duo writers Charles Todd in A MATTER OF JUSTICE.

COLD CASE by Kate Wilhelm reminds us of the great locations for mysteries in Wash. state.

When I was to down to focus my eyes on pages, I turn to the audio-books among which I re-listen to THE BONESTETTER'S DAUGHTER-by Amy Tan.

I can continue but this was only my "proof of life" bit. Enjoy life and remember who to thank!
