    Brain Candy, however...... waaaay better than I thought it might be.
    It's a burner and a page-turner, and I believe it's on it's way to becoming a film.

    Now I'm intrigued! I needed a new read.

    Just finished Stranger in Paradise by Robert B Parker. Palate cleanser after finally finishing the Carver atrocity.

    A family member gifted this to my 13-year-old so I’m pre-reading to see if it’s appropriate. It’s written in the first person which is popular for contemporary fiction I think. The narrator is already making some sweeping statements about mental health and therapy so if I do pass this on to my child it will contain my copious margin notes.

    I love that last sentence. Well, the last part. Sweeping statements about mental health and therapy irritate me.

    Just finished “The Gunslinger” by Stephen King. First of the Dark Tower series. And what a series it is. Plan to start Book 2 tomorrow.

    I enjoyed this series. King is a complicated writer and I forgive him a lot of flaws because he’s such a wonderful storyteller and takes me on a trip

    I have stacks of new books to read but as I’ve mentioned before I can’t seem to concentrate long enough to read a book.
    I have always been an avid reader.
    Well, I started a book yesterday, I’ve started it two other times only to put it down before 2 pages.
    Perhaps this time I’ll finish it, it’s a short book I should be able to manage it.
    If this goes on much longer I’ll need to buy picture books. 😂😢

    Dragon Blood by Patricia Briggs

    I had thought I'd never read it before but it feels familiar...so either I read it many years past or it is similar to another book I read. Trying to decide it it counts on my one book I haven't read a week quest or not. I'm a week behind...

    Just finished Snow Crash a few days ago. I have mixed feelings about it. There was a lot that was scientifically inaccurate and sloppily written about it, and I also felt the author had an elitist perspective (which he does in real life apparently). But it was entertaining and it's a book that was very important in the history of software development.

    Actually I do something very similar. I think a 10 page a day goal is excellent

    I prefer books I can hold, but rented this from the elibrary. I kind of wish I hadn’t started watching the new tv series based on the books before starting though, because the books are usually always WAY better. It’ll be interesting to see the liberties taken.
    I didn’t even know there was a TV series! I assume they’re going to leave out the incest and pedophilia and I’d be OK with that 😂
