Okay, okay....

...so I haven't blogged in five years, but I'm back and I'm full of books. Obviously, at the reading rate of 100+ books per year, that's at least 500 I have to catch up on, and I think since I retired I've been reading at an even greater rate. There are some gems on my list as well as some awful crap that I wouldn't even finish. I will not name any unless it is something that attracted a lot of unwarranted attention. My favorite authors continue to be my favorites so I might duplicate something I have written before but you are not going to go back and read all my prior comments anyway, so you won't know. I realize that I will probably be forgetting some good ones that should go in here but I'll do my best. I wrote monthly book recommendations for our community newsletter for several years since we moved to Florida so that will be a partial reference. Hardcover has pretty much gone the way of the typewriter in my life, especially since I am no longer sitting in the midst of all that treasure at the library. With some exceptions, most of my reading is done on my Kindle (which has close to 3000 books on it, I keep deleting to have room for new ones). I don't care much for the local Rocky Bluff Library - I got mad when they wouldn't let me start a writers' group so I don't go there much. That's another whole story. So...it is nice to be back here and I hope you find this good to read. It will be fun for me.
