Three Formats

Fiction

Star Wars: Before the Awakening by Greg Rucka.  Finn, Poe and Rey's stories before the film. I keep confusing the character name Rey with the actress's name, Daisy.

Audiobook on CD

It's In His Smile by Shelly Alexander. 8 CDs at 9.33 hours. Some sort of romance.

DVD

The Messengers starring Kristen Stewart, Dylan McDermott, John Corbett. Horror film from 2007. I figured this will circ'.

Three New Copies of Harry Potter

Harry Potter

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child: parts one and two by J.K. Rowling, John Tiffany, and Jack Thorne.  Adult Harry is overworked and his youngest son is having trouble at Hogwarts.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child: parts one and two by J.K. Rowling, John Tiffany, and Jack Thorne.  See above.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child: parts one and two by J.K. Rowling, John Tiffany, and Jack Thorne.   See above.

Fiction

A Time of Torment by John Connolly. This the Irish Connolly. I've never been to Ireland. I may have flown over on the way to Germany or Switzerland.

Smooth Operator by Stuart Woods and Parnell Hall. Hall composed a song and made a video about not being a bestseller.

The Sixth Idea by P.J. Tracy.  Something about murders in Minnesota and computer experts who help the police. P.J. Tracy is a mother-daughter team who "each live in rural Minnesota, just outside Minneapolis." You think they know Anthony Neil Smith? Am I just typing Smith's name to get web hits? Yes.

Brain Storm by Elaine Viets. I have not clue how to pronounce Viets.  Investigator has a stroke. Her doctor is murdered and her surgeon is the suspect.  Her bio says Viets has written 29 novels. That's a lot of writing. This novel is a "return to her hard-boiled roots" and her own experience having a stroke.

Bullseye by James Patterson Amalgamated Writing Services and Michael Ledwidge.

Sweet Tomorrows by Debbie Macomber. A lot of people enjoy Macomber's novels but they are not my bag.


Sunday Kind of Love by Dorothy Garlock. Garlock's novels are not my thing either. Oh, hey. She live sin Clear Lake, IA. I used to drive through there on the way to college. I'd go north from Iowa City and take 18 west. The map says 18 was updated and moved out of a few towns.

Photo Interlude

Sunset on Rock Lake a couple days ago. I've restarted swimming in the lake for exercise. I get bored after a half hour or so.
