<p>Kwik <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>pass....one of my favorite Authors, Adrian McKinty released a new book called THE CHAIN. I was so excited! Released on Audio fast! Movie scheduled! </strong></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>He has often been described as a “Mid-Level” writer...whatever that means. He appeared on CBS Morning show and was very engaging. </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>His normal books take place in the 80’s in Ireland during the whole violence of Belfast. Love the audiobooks read by Gerald Doyle.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>This story takes place in the US in current times about the abduction of a teen girl and the struggled her Mother endures in trying to get her released.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>I listened to 2 discs on Audio and had to stop! It was so real and suspenseful that I couldn’t take it. Maybe I will enjoy the movie?</strong></span></p>
<p>******<span style="font-size: 14pt;">*********</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>My other excitement book was Chances Are... by Richard Russo. Loved his Empire Falls! This book has a lot of the style...long dissertations of analyzing feelings and how men reflect on their lives. No, Jim would never struggle through it...and to be honest I fell asleep easily with this book plugged into my ears night after night. Probably better to read than listen.</strong></span></p>
<p><font size="4"><b>Tried Neon Prey by Sanford but too violent. Did listen to an older Virgil Flowers/Sanford mystery on Audio but lots of characters and plot twists...another book best read but not on Audio.</b></font></p>
<p></p>
<p><font size="4"><b>Did hit Library today and have a C.J. Box...Wolf Pack (love Joe Picket) and “When All Is Said” by Anne Griffin...RAPA...the main character chooses the 5 most important people in his life. He is older than you but seems like a cool guy. I’ll let you know what I think. He is Irish, BTW. Don’t know why I’m so drawn to that country? My heritage is German and Anglo-Saxon.</b></font></p>

<p>I have read a lot of blogs and got a subscription to the local news paper. I am enjoying both of those. One blog I recently found to read is "Vronni's Style Meanderings:..", she has a list, going back to 2015, of books she has read. I only recognized a few. I have not checked them all out yet to see if I want to read them, but I thought the list might be of interest to someone here. …</p>

<p>Otherwise I have not read much this summer. My granddaughter was reading a something Dunsmore books series so I had started the first one after her and though I am reading it all the way through the treatment by the father of the little girl is very upsetting to me. I don't know if I will read any others. I have introduced my grand-daughter to Janette Oak and she is loving the Love Comes... books. </p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Tried to get through a much heralded Kate Atkinson volume...title not available and my cell phone for research when I’m on iPad is in use by my 98 year old Mother in Law (who I call The Princess or Mamasan) She has one niece who calls almost daily which is a lovely thing but seems always at inconvenient time for me. </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Jim just came home so have my phone now...BIG SKY is title of Atkinson’s book.</strong></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>48 Hours by William Forstchen on Audio was amazing...a venue I seldom choose. Like the earth is about to be blown apart. Popular with Guys who study how to stay alive when the earth loses all its resources? Doomsday Preppers!</strong></span></p>

I just finished the May book, <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The Mother-in-Law</strong></span> by Sally Hepworth. Initially I didn't care for it but I thought I'd stick with it since it was a BOTM choice. I am so glad I did. Told from the main characters point of view in alternating chapters we realize how our upbringing influences who we become and how we raise our children. It is a mystery with a wonderful ending... stick with it. </p>
