What are you Reading? DECEMBER 2016 - Page 7

I finished reading A Thousand Miles from Nowhere by John G. Brown. Interesting book about a man who flees New Orleans right before Hurricane Katrina hits, and the beginning of a new life for him in a small town in Virginia, where he winds up after driving for several days. I really enjoyed it.

I'm now reading Last Girl Before Freeway: The Life, Loves, Losses and Liberation of Joan Rivers, by Leslie Bennetts. It seems to be a very long book, and much of the book is filled with quotes from her other books. So far I haven't learned very much that's new about her except that she didn't graduate Phi Beta Kappa as she said she did. Not a big deal, really.

I don't think I'm going to finish reading the book. Right now I'm reading about Edgar, and how nobody liked him because he was a pretentious, arrogant man who thought who he was.

Did anyone else read this? I'll keep you posted if I finish reading.

@sunala, the boot is so much easier than the cast. I am eight months into this issue, mostly my fault. I wore the boot for 8 weeks. This is my second break in this foot, one right after another. Not the same bone (metatarsal 3 and 4). My foot still bothered me so I swam daily instead of walking. When it got too cold to swim, I went back to walking and knew immediately I had a problem.

I went to the fracture clinic and they put me on crutches for seven weeks, five of them in a cast. Cast comes off Tuesday thank heavens. That will be my great gift of 2016.

Thanks for checking in with me! LM

@LilysmomYikes you've really been through it! I hope this time you will take the advice of your doctor. I know how painful the break can be, and I can't imagine you breaking your foot twice.

Good luck and have a good scratch when they take the cast off!

For any/all Chris Bohjalian fans, I just finished an advanced readers copy of his soon-to-be-released (1/10/17); THE SLEEPWALKER. It is a stunning novel. If any of you are fans of his, then you will know to expect the unexpected...! A wife & mother disappears from her bed one night...

Reading The Other Woman by Hank Philippi Ryan. OhEmGee!

Just finished Tell the Wolves I'm Home. So sweet with excellent message. (If I've posted that, forgive me, can't keep up.)

Hello all....love this blog for all of the good suggestions I get. I am currently reading...Yesternight by Cat Winters. "A psychologist arrives in a foggy seaside town where she will be forced to question everything she believes about life, death, memories, and reincarnation". I am enjoying it so far.

@BornToShop I like his books but they're soooo long-I am not into long anymore. Is this one long? (280 pages seems to be my limit).

Eden Hill, by Bill Higgs his debut novel and if you like small time family life back in the 1960's you will love this book.

The Next, by Stephanie Ganghi, if you cannot get revenge on your much younger boyfriend for dumping you due to cancer then get it after you pass on.
