WHAT have you finished reading recently? Double Play, Robert Parker.
WHAT are you reading now? Mortal Stakes, Robert Parker — and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, full-cast audio edition. Released yesterday but I had a night class, so I’ve only gotten to when the Order of the Phoenix busts Harry out of Dursley Prison so far. Enjoying the vocal artist for Tonks.
WHAT are you reading next? Robert Parker’s Blind Spot, Reed Coleman. A continuation of one of his characters’ series. (I’m reading it for the baseball connection.) And Paradise Lost…..
Reading Freely 
Cathy is going to end up in a horror movie, as the villain!
I cut off part of the image — Cathy wants to talk about her nine ferrets. Definite villain behavior.
I can see Cathy now, stroking her ferrets while wearing aviator glasses, inside!
Sometimes I think people who schedule Zoom meetings have the same mindset as Cathy. 😅
There are definitely some meetings that totes could have been an email….
Not familiar with these. Enjoy!

#TBR Reading next: The Inheritors, by #WilliamGolding
Parker was evidently a modern writer of noir/crime thrillers. I stumbled on him while looking for novels with a baseball connection and have found three so far..
Have you read ‘The Natural’ by Bernard Malamud? I think we might have spoken about it before….
I’m fairly certain I’ve not read it, though I have watched a baseball movie (with Robert Redford, I think?) with that name.
Yes, that’s the movie. The book I found a bit weird but very good. I think it was a library copy (which I read after the movie) so need to pick up another copy for a re-read. The author looks to have written quite a few interesting tales that I need to acquire.
I’ll have to look for it! I enjoyed the movie well enough, though it’s not a favorite, even among baseball movies. Because of grad school I have not been doing much movie-watching…..I’ve literally only seen one all month, an Anna Kendrick mystery-turned-black-comedy.
I’m one movie away from filling up my ‘Last 10 Movies’ list. ‘The Dead Don’t Die’ has just become available on Prime that looks fun. Its a comedy zombie movie… Something ‘different’… [grin]
Off topic… (again). No doubt this will appeal…
How Few Remain : The Second War Between the States
Read that series in the early years of the blog! VERY early years, 2008. I was still doing my weekly Wall of Text reviews back then.
Will have to watch the video once I’m free of work… 😀
