I completed the last of that set this morning. Quite eye-opening!

The next collection, Bloodlands, contains more true crime but of a gruesome nature. I may wait until February before starting that series, but I haven't decided yet.

And to think, before this year, I rarely read any true crime stories at all. In fact, I avoided it.

Aww, sorry it sucked, hon, but at least you can now move to something you can enjoy.

True that!!

Excellent! :)

I just started the stories of The Marshall Project Southside Collection.

This group of stories may take a lot out of me. I once read somewhere that America is lucky that black people want justice, not revenge. Stories like Payback bring those thoughts to the forefront.
As both a person of color and a woman, I have experienced a lot of foolishness. However, I have been fortunate (so far) that my life has rarely been in danger because of it.
I have never thought of myself as a vengeful person; I am quick to review all sides. I will give the benefit of the doubt when due.
But forgiveness and forgetfulness do not come as quickly.

Apparently summer this year."

Nice! Thanks :)

This morning, I completed The Real Thing AOS collection of stories.
I now hope to concentrate on the other three titles I am currently reading.
I can't believe we've almost hit the two-week mark in January already. Time feels like it is going by too quickly!

What Christa said!

I enjoyed Russian Doll... I wonder if Season 2 ever came out.

I'm slowly working my way through three reads (besides the AOSs) at the moment, which is an ambitious undertaking for me.
At times, I find myself at a crossroads, trying to figure out where I want to focus my attention.
Plus, there are all of the British TV shows I started in the last two months:
-Midsomer Murders - I am on season 12
-Death in Paradise - Season 7
-Spooks - Season 4 (I think)
-Shetland - Season 2
-New Tricks - Season 1
-Vera - Season 1
-Wallander - Season 1

*Okay, so someone got themselves subscriptions to BritBox (standalone) and AcornTV (via Amazon) as early Christmas gifts.*

**Edit: Don't get BritBox through Amazon... Ads, ads, ads, and more ads! I canceled it in less than 24 hours and went directly through BritBox instead. Much better experience - No ads!!

^^^This!!^^^

Best of luck in being the first person ever to succeed at the paperless office."

LOL! I've tried that too... didn't last long.
Paper is the bane of my existence!

THIRD!!!

Thank you! You too! <3

Happy New Year, DoodlePanada!!

Oh, and FIRST! :)

Happy New Year! :)

May your 2022 be as wonderful as you are!

Heh! I didn't realize then just how foreshadowing my comments in message 32 would become.

Covet was the last thing I read before this month! That's crazy (and sad)!!

But I'll just keep moving forward...

Thankfully, two collections of short stories have brought me back to the world of the reading, Black Stars, a Science Fiction collection, and Southern Belle Insults, a series about a woman changing her life.
I ended up reading almost as many titles in the past two weeks as I did the first two months.

First!! :)

Nice! :D
