Finished Fear, Trump in the White House, pretty much like most of the media for the past 18 months, just gave a closer look at the infighting and chaos in the administration and people trying to distract Trump from impulsive dangerous behaviour like removing the American troops from South Korea where there is the early warning system for missiles plus keeping an eye on the North Korean dictator in case he decides he wants the whole of Korea for himself. Scary stuff!

I finished a few books over the past month
Engraved on the Heart by Tara Johnson
A Daring Venture by Elizabeth Camden
Be a Free Range Human by Marianne Cantwell
The Love Letter by Rachel Hauck
Rules of Prey by John Sandford (1st Sandford book I've read)
currently reading Dark of the Moon by John Sandford

Sandford will be in Vero Beach next month & I got a free Sandford book from the library for playing their reading bingo game...so I'm set for his visit!
Nicholas Sparks will also be in Vero Beach about a week after Sandford so October is looking to be a good month.

Thanks, Fours. I did not realise that the book was set in the future. That explains a few other things too. Although a lot of things were similar to the present.

My hair looks like a stump full of grandaddies most mornings!

Took me a while to pick up some things from the "In Death" series...it is in the future so some can be picked up from context....sometimes.

Ah, daddy longlegs, we have those here in the north of England.

Am reading a book called Perfect Silence, recommended by a thriller lover on another forum. It is really quite a gruesome police story and while I want to make sure the evil murderer gets his or her comeuppance it maybe is not a book to be read just at bedtime. Need a symbol for scared!

Here in So Cal, we would've said a stump full of daddy longlegs. Guess our spiders (technically they're not even spiders) are younger.

Nobody can predict what changes will have occurred in 50 years time, doubtful I'll be around to see them anyway. And i doubt there will be as few as in JD Robb's world.

Think of all the changes we have seen in the last 50 years, few of which, if any, were predicted way back in the late '60's.

As a teenager back then we were thinking of regular trips to the moon! Nobody mentioned Internet, Skype, E.Mails, mobile phones etc. And that is just what the were, telephones which did not need to be plugged into a wall socket. Nowadays is there anything you CAN'T do with a phone?

Ha - Ha ha! It’s a Southern thang!
But yes what I read about Robb said “ not much was/has changed” .... to the futuristic plot.
