Less about a book I've read but rather books I'm going to read.
Last night I went to an interview/signing with author Craig Johnson, the writer of the Longmire mysteries.
Great time. |

I have one of those, but haven't gotten around to reading it yet. My partner is from Wyoming, so I am intrigued by the setting.

Have you seen the TV series? |

Just finished The Persian Pickle Club by Sandra Dallas. I found it mildly interesting, but didn't care much for the way the story ended._________________ If you cannot inspire yourself to read a book about women's basketball, or any book about women's sports, you cannot inspire any young girl or boy to write a book about them. http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/Richardstrek |

I haven't. I'm not sure I even realized it was a series. Is it worth finding to watch?

It is fantastic. The first three seasons aired on A&E, then they canceled it. Netflix picked it up and aired Seasons 4 and 5, with the sixth and final season set to begin streaming soon. |

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check it out. I read mysteries all of the time, but don't watch that many.

Evicted by Matthew Desmond. Fascinating read, I'm on my second time through the book. It is about homelessness and poverty in Milwaukee from observations made about 10 years ago since publication (2016)._________________ If you cannot inspire yourself to read a book about women's basketball, or any book about women's sports, you cannot inspire any young girl or boy to write a book about them. http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/Richardstrek |

I finished the Jean Flowers mystery novel "Cancelled By Murder". It was okay but doesn't really make me want to continue with the series. |
