    The Pale Faced Lie, A True Story by David Crow is an enjoyable but heart wrenching book.

    Happy to say I am back to reading!

    I have been reading quite a bit less than normal or average for me. It will pick up in the near future.

    I bought a one month subscription to Sling TV app so that I can watch the World Baseball Classic which ends next Tuesday night (the only way I can get access to Fox Sports 1). Generally I read in the evenings but I have been watching games instead lately. In addition, several shows I have been waiting for on streaming just released new seasons. I don't watch much TV at all so I can put these shows off, drag them out, and only watch a few episodes a week. Still taking away from reading time though. I was reading audiobooks while I exercise but Spring Training baseball games are airing on the audio feed during the daytime, I have been occupied with those. My reading feels like it has ground to a halt (it hasn't, but it isn't up to par for me).

    I have to keep reminding myself that yes, there is way too much media to occupy free time, and no, I don't have to watch or read everything. And this isn't a race. It feels like I am out of my routine though.

    @Catfish_Fan I can relate. I work full time so do most of my reading in the evenings. Have had cold/allergies acting up lately so I have been reading more lately. But if I'm into a series or something my reading goes down quickly.

    Finished Daisy Jones & The Six. Was like an episode of MTV's Behind the Music. I was addicted to those shows.

    Next - The Game of Thrones - George R. R. Martin.

    @Catfish_Fan Sometimes ya just need some baseball in your life, ya know what I mean? Enjoy!

    Just finished Above the Bay of Angels by Rhys Bowen. This was a departure of me too. Pretty unrealistic and light, but I needed the break.

    Blackout (Oxford Time Travel #3) by Connie Willis. Very engaging series, highly recommended.

    All Clear (Oxford Time Travel #4, Blackout part 2) by Connie Willis. The All Clear series is two books which were really one that was split into two for some reason. All Clear picks up the story from Blackout without pause.
