Since I had to stay at home during COVID-19 for a few weeks, I thought I
would have been reading all the time. I did not read. I would start a
book then stop reading. I just could not finish reading a whole book. I
stayed up until 2:00 am watching Netflix. I crocheted a pair of bedroom
slippers, a tote and a cell phone holder.
I have completed two weeks at work now and I am still chilling and
watching Netflix when I can but the "dry spell" is over. Once again Netflix led me to a book. This
time it led me to read books by Harlan Coben. Believe it or not, this
avid reader of murder mysteries had never read anything by Harlan Coben. I watched The Five, The Stranger, Safe and more recently, The Woods on
Netflix. The movie version of The Woods was set in Poland with English
subtitles while the original book version was set in New Jersey. That
fact right there led me to read the book. I think I missed some details
trying to watch the movie and read the translated subtitles at the same
time so that also pushed me to read the book. Finished reading it in two
days. It was really that good.
Now I have to devour more Harlan Coben books.
This blog is for book lovers. Initially this blog focused on the books selected by members of the Okefenokee Book Club who used to meet in Waycross, Georgia. Now, it is about my reading interests. I will also continue to post any interesting information related to writers, libraries, and book clubs in general.
