If your care giving duties allow you time to read.....................I'm interested in what book you are in the middle of or just finished or have waiting on your bedside table.
I'm reading "Total Control" by David Baldacci
It's a crime/thriller drama. Quite compelling.
If you can't find the time to read, you should try. It helps to escape from it all in a good book.
The read bestseller fiction and non fiction books daily, along with newspapers, magazines and medical journals.
I'm so cheap I get a library copy, and if I'm quick without having to wait.
I will now start a historical novel about Venice. Iam also waiting for the 5th volume of Robert Galbraith. I have read the first four in English. I know it was released on the 15th September but I will wait for the paper back edition to become a little bit cheaper.
I looked up the book you mentioned. After what I've seen in life, read in books and learned from others, I'm not surprised by anything anymore.

Multiple waits in the car and other distancing routines plus medical offices devoid of any reading materials - including pharmaceutical brochures - I decided short stories about the famous and infamous of all time fits into the distancing routine.
I'm still in search of a current and past cartoon magazine of all times.
I have finished the Father Brown series and am now into another mystery series by R. Austin Freeman featuring John Thorndyke as the medical legal expert. The $1.99 for the Great British detectives was very well spent. I have been through all of Holmes (Doyle) Father Brown (Chesterton) and am well into Thorndyke and only half way through the ebook.
I'm also reading corona tests, observations ..to see the 'experts' either lie or be wrong. We probably All have been exposed. Reality bites ...
"Impartial are our eyes and ears:
Were he my brother, nay my kindgdom's heir.
As he is but my father's brother's son,
Now by my scepter's awe, I make a vow.
Such neighborhood nearness to our scared blood
Should nothing privilege him, nor partialize
The unstooping firmess of my upright soul:
He is our subject, Mowbray; so art thou;
Free speech and fearless I to thee allow"
Henry II, Shakespeare.
I love true stories based on a person's life. This story has a very rough beginning with a very good and true ending which I've heard is there, but I have not finished reading it yet. She writes not as a victim of what she lived through but for those whose lives has been like her's and offering them hope.
It is the autobiography of the daughter of Walter H. Breen and Marion Zimmer Bradley. However, it is not for the faint of heart.
Lincoln was the first "outsider" from the new Republican party elected President in a four way race where he garnered less than 40% of the popular vote. I was particularly stuck by all the name calling and negative press; times don't seem to change much since every attack on Lincoln's appearance and character has been repeated on Trump 160 years later.
If you enjoy history written more as a detective story with lots of details on personalities around the main character, this is a wonderful read.
And thanks for sharing the humor around.
and believe me, that's a lot of coloring.
