The Book Thread

[marshmallow]

I tend to read crime/cop drama like Connelley, John Sanford, etc. Do you like that type of stuff? I don't typically read the current best seller type books, but Puzz might have some good suggestions.

I've read Sanford in the past. Connelley never drew me in with his writing. I'm not a best seller kind of reader either. I got caught up in Fredrick Backman long before the movie with Tom Hanks. I own all of Backman's books, I have a couple that are favorites.

I love Connelley, he's my favorite followed by Sanford. I've been reading David Baldacci because I can't find anything to read that I really like, but he's only meh in my opinion. I've never read anything by Fredrick Backman, I will have to check him out. I like John Krakauer too. He doesn't have a ton of books but I think all of his are good.

I've read John Krakauer and didn't realize it was his book until I just googled him. I read Into The Wild. I remember being caught up in it and not wanting to put it down. I'll be taking out his other books the next time I go to the library.

Yes, he writes books about things like that, true stories but usually with an adventure slant to them. He wrote Into Thin Air about his own personal story about being on Mt. Everest during the 1996 disaster. It was a fabulous book.

I just finished The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen. I thought it was pretty good. It's kind of a psychological thriller involving marriage, like Gone Girl.

I just finished 'The Last Bookshop In London' by Madeline Martin.
It was a tough read at first but that's on me because I made it my car book and it's more of a curl up on the couch for uninterrupted periods of time book. It's set in World War II. Not sure what I'll read next. I'm going to venture into the closets later to pick a read. I buy all spring/summer at flea markets and garage sales and line the back of our closets with books. I wish I were exaggerating but I'm not. I own hundreds of books I've yet to read.

I love actual books, but after two back to back moves across the country I had to get rid of all of my books and I never started collecting again (always anticipating the next move). Then the pandemic hit and I got a tablet and I now only check out books online. I didn't think I would like it, but I love it now!

I'm embarrassed to admit that I can't remember the last time I read an actual book. I listen to audiobooks. I browse the net. But books with words on paper, or even a kindle screen? Not so much.

I used to read all the time, now I never do. I have so many books I need to get rid of.

I am on my phone, so I can?t multi quote but this is for Nic and Puzz. I used to read all of the time and then when I started studying for my CPA exam I stopped because I spent all of my time with my nose in the study books for a year and a half.

Afterwards I never got back into it until the pandemic hit. I had forgotten how much I liked just curling up with a good book and tuning out the world. I would read online and browse magazines and stuff, but it?s just not the same. For me reading a book is like spending time with an old friend.
