I’ve read Educated by Tara Westover and Blood in the Water by Caleb Roehrig in the last week or so.

Hunt a Killer is the one hiring writer … Continue reading Blood in the Water, a Hunt a Killer Mystery Book.

My Week 12/2/22

Books On Monday I got an email saying my book came in at my 2nd library I use. I forgot I requested because it had a long wait line plus I hadn’t been using this library in at least a month (drive time has been getting to me and I’ve been sticking close to home.) … Continue reading My Week 12/2/22
