I'm still continuing to read like a mad woman. There's not much else to do in the evenings and weekends. A couple of books I recently enjoyed, I thought I'd share:
I read a book by Matt Haig called "How to Stop Time". It was pretty good, so I decided to see what else he's written. Over the past weekend my library books on reserve popped out another one as now available for borrowing. It's called The Humans. I really liked this one. It starts out funny, the middle is intriguing and the end is inspirational. All told from the viewpoint of an extra terrestrial alien, LOL. I read part of the ending twice, just because it was so good. And usually I return the e-books as soon as I'm done (so the next person waiting doesn't have to wait any longer), but it's still sitting in my "bookshelf". I haven't returned it yet, becauese I think I might go through the list of "advice to humans" once again. It was great advice we can all do well to think about once in awhile.
Another book I read during my Christmas break was Every Note Played by Lisa Genova. About a man with ALS.
I did do a bit of binge watching New Years Eve and day. I discovered there was free HBO weekend on the cable service my mom uses, that I can log into. So, I got to get caught up on season 7 of Game of Thrones. I'm always way behind on that show, but that's ok. Eventually I get to see it.
and now that I have Netflix again (Christmas gift card) I can now watch season 10 of Heartland.
Oh thanks so much for the book recommendations. It's always good for "us readers" to learn when someone else thinks a writer is good. Since I've been retired I haven't been getting my 90 minutes a day reading in (on my bus journey) so I will have to set aside time specifically for that. At the moment it's all go though trying to sort myself out - can't wait to get into some kind of routine and get the old books out!
