    Finished Daisy Jones & The Six earlier this week. Great read for me! I read in an article that its based on the story of Fleetwood Mac and I'm fan so here we are. I also read A Man Called Ove earlier this month and it was such a good book!! I know they had Tom Hanks in the movie. He did great but you know the book is better

    Only when the movie was produced first from a screen play has a movie been better then a book at least in my mind.

    Today`s read Carl Hiaasen Stormy Weather Funny Satire in Florida Might not be for everyone!

    I have read many of his books. I love to laugh out loud.

    Hiaasen is hilarious. If you enjoy his stuff give Staight Man by Richard Russo a try if you've never read it.

    While looking for a box of pre printed envelopes that i never found.

    I came across a box of books Jack Higgins , Web Griffin, Patrick Robinson and a few others .

    It has been years so it will be fresh and exciting.

    I caught up on this series. Waiting on another book. Started 'Beneath the Dragoneye Moons' by Selkie Myth in the meantime. It's okay.

    I just finished it again for the 2nd time.

    Amazing book. The first time I read it was on my honeymoon. The wife and I fought over who got to read it.

    When she was in grad school she got to attend a seminar by Jared Diamond where he talked about the book.

    It was a book that I had an incredibly hard time putting down, even the second time.
