Off-Topic Spring Reading

[Gams]

I had my pre-op physical on Friday. I brought along the Jack Reacher book I’m reading so I could read while I waited. I had to wait a long time and when the doctor finally came into the exam room, she apologized for keeping me waiting. I said, “That’s okay, but I want you to know that Jack Reacher managed to kill 5 people in the time I’ve been waiting.” 😁

Well, that's true with most thriller-type novels, right? I mean, I read David Baldacci's Will Robie series, and I definitely had to suspend disbelief for everything he managed to pull off.

I think with Jane Hawk it just feels like a bit too much - I mean she's gorgeous and resourceful and brilliant, etc, etc. There just doesn't seem like much space for this series to grow.

LOL! That's funny. I can't wait for Season 2 of Jack Reacher on Amazon Prime!

I’m enjoying a new to me three book mystery series by Icelandic author Ragnar Jonasson. I listened to the first book, The Darkness, last week & am half way through the second one, The Island.

That is funny...... was the doctor amused? Hope the surgery went well!

Yes, the doctor laughed and asked if the book was good. My surgery is April 14th.

Just finished:
Entering the Passion of Jesus: A Beginner's Guide to Holy Week (Amy-Jill Levine)

Finished Northanger Abbey and I Understand: Pain, Love, and Healing after Suicide. I thought they were both very good. Am about halfway through This Boy We Made: A Memoir of Motherhood, Genetics, and Facing the Unknown and not enjoying it but will finish.
