<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Just finished Lisa Wingate's <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Before We Were Yours</span></strong>, a novel based on the scandal surrounding the Tennessee Children's Home in the 1930's. Georgia Tann literally kidnapped children and sold them to wealthy families, often getting women still groggy from delivery to sign away their babies without realizing what they were signing. It's the story of 5 siblings stolen from a riverboat because they were beautiful curly headed blondes... very desirable for adoption... then put in horrible boarding house until parents were found. It is estimated that over 500 children died while in their care. I loved this book and was appalled that this actually happened until 1950 when the home was finally shut down. Although the novel is fiction, it is based on stories from actual children who lived to tell the tale. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“California” is my latest “listen.” Read it and evidently I was distracted because didn’t remember a thing while listening on flight to Fort Lauderdale and back...a bit while visiting and caring for grandkids while my son-in-Law had surgery and my daughter stayed 24/7 at Hospital.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">BTW, watching BOSCH on Netflix is fun for me.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">I watch so little of regular TV programming since last February? Tune into all CAVS games and am already gearing up for Cleveland Indians? How can this be? I mean, I watched playoffs in the old days with DH but now I see more sports than him?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Of course following the Browns is....ahem, only for the very tough fan.</span></p>

<p>After a year of bingeing on revenge fiction (Lee Child, David Baldacchi), I am gearing up to binge on some favorite feel-good authors into the New Year: Alexander McCall Smith, Jan Karon, and Terry Pratchett. I've also reserved the newest offerings from Elizabeth George, Anne Perry and Martha Grimes as indulgences of my long love of British-based police procedural/detective novels.

<p>Finished the new Baldacci last night. Returned it today and picked up Dean Koontz's THE WHISPERING ROOM and Elizabeth Berg's THE STORY OF ARTHUR TRULUV. That should get me through the holiday season!</p>

<p>It's been well over two years since I last read a Louise Penny book. But a few days ago while at the library, I saw her latest, <em>Glass Houses</em>, on the "new books" shelves. I'm only 75 pages into it, and I'm enjoying it very much. I will just say that meeting Armand Gamache again is like coming across an old friend after years of absence.</p>
