Finished This Tender Land

Oh reading tattooist of Auschwitz and tried to get some chapters in while at hospital appointment and i let out a little tear. I think people thought I got bad news but really it’s the reality of this horrible chapter of history in which we hide away from. Books really ingrain in your atoms don’t they! Trying to balance it out with a light book in between harsh realities so i keep picking up The Sunday Story Club by Doris Brett to take the pressure off the heart strings.
I'm totally consumed by my current read, The Edge of Freedom.I finished Vacca's previous book, Freedom Calling and thoroughly enjoyed it. And The Edge of Freedom has definitely hooked me completely! The history of the era is fascinating, and the story as exciting as it is spiritual and inspirational!
I give a thumbs up both books.
I'm trying to finish the Dress Thief by Natalie Meg Evans and I am also reading The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
Actually, I'm at the last chapter of The 13th Juror by John Lescroart. And I will start to read The Black Box by Michael Connelly tomorrow.
I just finished The Woman in the Mirror by Rebecca JamesPlease check my review here and support me with your feed back .

Reading Deacon King Kong by James McBride. This is a real change for me. I usually read a lot of historical fiction. This IS a huge change but enjoying it. Just finished This Tender Land. Awesome read
The talk of the town where I am is a book called Boy Swallows Universe by Trent Dalton. Award winning library awards, gold winning and people’s choice. Literary prize awards all gold!!! Book of year and Debut fiction. I have high hopes. Must finish The Sunday Story Club by Doris Brett and Kerry Cue first. Stay safe everyone please. Lots of worldly book love from my reading chair to you all.

Hi Everyone,

I’m back into the Billy Boyle series by James Ben. Started book 6, A MORTAL TERROR, a last night.Kim Philby showed up in book 5 & leads us on in this one... setting up a real angst as I read.
Has anyone read: '2020 Vision: In Our Image' ?According to the description on Amazon:
"A revolutionary review of the state of affairs on Earth, humanity, society and religion, while revealing the hidden design that has maintained the ignorance and servitude of the human race for thousands of years. Describing the beginnings of life on Earth, the intelligent design of the human race and solving the many mysteries that have continued to challenge humanity, the author leads to an ultimate conclusion. The conclusion is that life on earth is intended or designed to propagate the servitude of humanity and that the architect of that design is one that can be revealed. The enemy of humanity is revealed and this revelation leads to a solution inspired by the creative energies of universe. The enemy's aim to build a totalitarian regime around an unsuspecting humanity is counteracted by a new system described in this book, that returns ascendant humanity back to the original source of creation."
The content is phenomenal. I would definitely recommend it.

I hope you will be at home too, the safest way to keep well. Reading lets us lose ourselves and keeps us from the new reality. Good luck, stay well and God bless!
