Peggy Hayes is 25% done with Buckeye
The story is character driven and somber. It is starting to get more complicated. It’s a slow mover but the writing is terrific. I’m enjoying it.

Hoping this one gets better…it’s off to a slow start for me. I decided to close up and start something different as I just haven’t liked this one yet. I’ll try again after I finish the excellent short stories I am now reading.

Wow! This book is something different — a little bit of all genres included, unlikely heroes, unexpected twists, surprising revelations, slow resolution — at 75% I’m most anxious to get to the end!

Good so far, the author uses lots of big words. I like that.

Peggy Hayes is 25% done with Tom Lake
Listening to this one narrated by Meryl Streep. I like Meryl’s narration but the story so far is so boring I keep changing to the local traffic station which is more interesting than the book. I’m hoping for more action as the story progresses…

Peggy Hayes is 18% done with Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention— and How to Think Deeply Again
Sadly, I’m heavily identifying with the loss of focus described in the book. But I’m enjoying learning the author’s journey.
