I am in between reads right now. My husband has been home this week and goes back out Sunday afternoon for another week. I'll probably start something then.

I dropped my KU subscription last night. My deal was done and it was going to revert to $9.99/month. I'm wondering how long I'll have to wait to subscribe on another deal.

I started to read a book and the c--- slang came up twice very quickly, I didn't continue reading. To me that and the p--- word are just on the edge of that cursing cliff, just offensive to me. I don't hear it in my day to day life so when I come across it it grates.

Welcome BEACHMAVERICK, thanks for chiming in. Hope we hear more from you.

Connie, I bookmarked that page for the KU deals. I still have 10 months on mine. That will have to be a birthday, anniversary, or Christmas present now that Wade is retired. I was able to get into my library account. They wanted a PIN and I had no idea what it was, so when we were there the other day I asked about it and they told me what they use for the PIN, way easy! I did that and have already borrowed some. They don't have a lot of new stuff, but I've recommended a couple I'd like to read. Doesn't usually happen, but we'll see. Hoopla has more things that I like, I just have to find the audio because I like to listen while I play games on my Kindle and I forget to read the e-books when I read at night. Getting old is not easy. Connie, the beta reading I'm doing is mostly just finding inconsistencies. Like when the character refers to his cousin as brother a couple of times, or it seems like they are at the place that they just left to drive over to - huh? In the story a woman has been kidnapped by human trafficers and has been them for awhile, helping them when they bring in more girls. Some of that wasn't clear at the beginning and I got confused. One sentece had "has showed" rather than just "showed" or "has shown". When I read it I know something isn't right. What I would like to do for extra income is like this - problem is, a lot of authors use beta readers for this so don't need to pay anyone to help with that. I could do final editing, making sure words are spelled right (amazing how many books that have been edited have wrong spelling) and the punctuation is correct, and everything makes sense. We'll see, it's just in the dreaming stage right now! LOL.

I finished SHOCK WAVE by Rick Weston. Very good. I didn't like that a lot of the story was based on a biblical like document though. It was biblical in nature, speaking of leviathan, but it added to it and the story line moved with that document. All fiction, so not bad, just not comfortable for me.

Please pray for my pastor. He's been sick for several days and is at the doctor trying to figure out exactly what he has. Would appreciate it very much.

God bless y'all.

I find that sometimes I get more lost listening to a book than when I read it, especially if there are names that sound similar - but I like to listen to them, so I just give myself time to figure it out. At night I listen and play some games until it's time for lights out, then I read until I'm tired.

I'm still working on NECESSARY RISK by Christy Barritt. Very good. It has a different feel than a lot of her other stuff, I like it. The first one did too.

Still Beta Reading AMISH IDENTITY. I try to get two or three chapters in a day. I have to do it at the computer, so it isn't as comfortable.

I have other reads I've touched on but haven't really gotten into.

I put the audio version of LIFEMARK on my Hoopla favorites list.

I finished NECESSARY RISK. Very good.

I finished an LI suspense, A ROYAL MARRIAGE by Rachelle McCalla. I'm reading the second book in the series, THE SECRET PRINCESS. I liked the first book, but so far, I am liking the second book better.

I tried to re-read a fantasy series that I remember really liking, but it had parts in it that I didn't like this time - very teen-agery! I skipped some of the beginning and read further in and it was a little bit better - we'll see.

Re-read BEFORE BEAUTY by Brittany Fichter. I'm now reading the second book in the series which I never finished reading the first time I started it. These are the first books in a fairy tale series, I believe has 11 books in it. I've read many of them.

I'm also reading MOONSCRIPT by H S J Williams. It says I've read it before, but not much of it is familiar. It has a strong Christian message (compared to most Christian fiction).

I need to get back into the WINTER DECEPTIONS anthology!

I would love to read that book, Connie! One of my favorite treats growing up was shopping trips to downtown Atlanta with my Mom - which, after shopping at Davison's or Rich's, included stopping by Woolworth's and usually eating at their soda fountain.

I'm back to where I prefer reading over listening, so I recommended it on Overdrive. It's new this month, so we'll see if they get it.
