Broken CountryBroken Country by Clare Leslie Hall
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Clare Leslie Hall has written a story full of relationships, fully developed characters, children, and animals. And if you think you know who the bad guys and who the good guys are, you’ll see both in each.

Hattie Morahan narrates the story quite well.

I picked up this audiobook on Libby.

Here’s the thing though, I saw the cover days after I finished the book and couldn’t remember anything. I read the blurb and when it mention the shooting of the dog I remembered the whole book. I loved it!

My FriendsMy Friends by Fredrik Backman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fredrik Backman wrote a Man Called Ove which became a movie called A Man Called Otto. Both the book and the movie were wonderful character development stories. So, guess what? Yes, ‘My Friends’ has even querkier characters grow as we watch the story unfold.

As if the story didn’t come alive with the written word, Marin Ireland (Narrator), make brings the listener to the dock to enjoy being a teen on summer break.

I hope you all get a chance to read/listen to this book. It is on Libby.

Managing Monday


Good news:

20 minutes on the stationary bike

30 minutes on the piano

30 minutes on dragon diamond painting #3

Bottom 1/4 nearly finished

Milo and Shilo gracing me and recliner footrests with sweetness.

They love each other. Blue Bunny waits his turn on the floor.

Bad news;

We were unable to get Milo in for his shots.

Our mail is not being delivered to Christmas Valley. Many of us have medicines that only come that way.

Let’s go back to the good news.ย  Duolingo surprised me today. As the audio story played in German today, I understood almost as well as I would in English. No headache.

Good/Bad: I’ve finished several books but behind on reviews.

Hope your Monday was better than mine.

Sunday Funny


Yep.


Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is โ€œreason.โ€ Use it any way youโ€™d like. Enjoy!

The difference between excuse and reason is often judged by others, and often causes us all confusion.

Finishing Friday


After a month I finally finished this tiny bit of dragon number 3.

Shampoo, rinse, repeat.

Condition

Body wash

Shave

All in one shower

Do you know how long ago I could do more than shampoo? Ugh!

I’m finishing the second batch of antibiotics.

I’m gaining energy, feeling better all the time.

One-Liner Wednesday


A part of Linda’s One-Liner Wednesday prompt.

“Eye movement detected. What is two plus two?”

(My favorite first lines of my favorite movie and book. Red leather, yellow leather. Take a guess?)


Beautiful UglyBeautiful Ugly by Alice Feeney
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Alice Feeney wrote a most delicious thriller. It reminded me of scary ghost stories around the campfire, but much more detailed and realistic. Though not at all. You’ll understand once you read or listen to it.

If you choose to listen, Richard Armitage (Narrator) and Tuppence Middleton (Narrator) tell the story with great acting and characterization. I love their accents.

Once again, I found this book on Libby as an available audiobook. Now I’ve found a new author to enjoy.
