VP is 20% done with Sold: A True Story
I hate hate hate the narrator's childish voice. I worked in Russia for many years. Few women sound like babies. The men's voice are terrible also.

VP is 5% done with Strangers in the Villa
If you have an affair and feel bad about it, keep it to yourself. It's utterly selfish to hurt your partner even more. Guilt is YOUR punishment. Suffer in silence. Tbis is not your partner's fault.

Fricken awful.
Excuse after excuse after excuse.
Face it Kamala. You were a terrible candidate with nothing to offer. And you are still protecting your braindead boss.

VP is on page 100 of 384 of Bright Young Women
Ugh. On page 48 there is a completely wrong description about what to do if a black bear attacks. You stand tall and DO fight if necessary. Mostly they'll run off. A grizzly, yes, minimize the risk.
But the character specifically mentions black bears.
BTW, bear attacks are very very rare.

Somewhere is here is a story about sanctimonious Holly catching the people-eating old people. Get that. People-eating old people, which is a magical world. Why all the covid trump crap?

I hope there is a story in here because all the woke BS and conservative bashing is too much for someone trying to read this book straight.

I don't know what page I'm on. It says 243/334.

I'm hate reading now. I hate supernatural shyte, and I guess the Stephen King comment should have told me. But I thought the Natchez-set books were in a regular atmosphere.

But what POed me know was these idiots dragging out the old disproved trope about women's periods synchronizing. Ugh.

I've raced through all these books in short order, so I must like them enough.

But Ruth is an insufferable leftist who reads only The Guardian, voted against Brexit, and won't let her child watch anything unsuitable, such as 'conservative programming'.

Nelson is also an insufferable oaf with his outdated ways and brutishness. Jealously doesn't look good on anyone.

VP is reading The Less Dead
Stupid less than nothing book.No clever lead, nothing exciting, no motive. Utterly stupid.
And it jumped the shark when on about page 314 the author starts using the deplorable they/them do disguise the identity of the singular killer.
Weak and cheap.
E star because I finished, but I don't recommend this book.

Get over the family avoidance thing already. Your mom was a groupie who got knocked up. Jonny gave money, and perhaps maybe more if Mom weren't such a flake. Blame your mom. Go meet your family. Obviously your dad is dying (or I expect to be told so).

And hey. This is my prediction from 150 pages ago. Cynthia did it.

Robin and Strike really are big whiners.
She expects too much re birthday and Christmas. One should enjoy the giving and not the receiving. She should know by now that Strike really is the worst.

And their childish avoidance of the ste up bugs the hell out of me. If this ere real life they'd have long passed into the friend zone for good.

Plus, she's gorgeous, but he's an overweight socially challenged smoker. Ugh.

Not sure what page I am on.

So. Kinsey now hates rich people, somehow forgetting that in most cases said rich people worked hard and sacrificed.
Kinsey/Sue also hates contemporary architecture...which is her right, but she hates it so derisively. I'd rather live in the cirus tent concrete and glass building than in a tiny apartment that looks like a ship inside.

So, I felt compelled to look upi Fern Michaels age, as the writing is so old timey. She is 85 now so 82 in 2015.
Man I hate this book. It is so degrading.
Women always running off, men who think "women need to know every thing" to be happy, hissy fits about work.
Dumb dumb dumb.
Mom, how could you bear it?????

8. Why does this team think it is necessary to take down a politician because a kid dies of rat bites or whatever stupid premise they proposed. This is vigilantism.

Yup. I hate it, but I will finish, in honour of my mom. Fortunately it is super easy to read or skim. Not too much substance.

Fern Michaels must be obscenely well of because she can pump out several volumes of this drivel a year.

6. Lots of repetition. Too much repetition, sometimes even in the same sentence.
7. I love dogs too, a lot, but why does every person that meets the dog have to acknowledge and pander it. Why do we have to learn every little thing about what the dog does. Plus, how did the dog belly up to the door, and then back? Why is this even appropriate wording?

2. How is plush carpet and plants masculine or modern. This book was from 2015. Who install carpet anymore?
3. Everyone seems so careless.
4. Since when does Scotland Yard, which is the London Metro Police, have anything to do with being Scottish? Why is is being equated with MI6 or the FBI? It is more in line with the New York Police Department.

I am reading this book because it is all I have around while I am out of books. I was my mother's, and she loved Fern Michaels.

I hate it so far.

1. Is the kitchen manly because it has stainless steel appliances? Don't most kitchens now?

I like Sean Spicer. He had a truly impossible job.

But as he tells the stories of his excellent private school education, he has twice misused the word "myself".

Surely he had an editor?

I like this book but it could have used an edit to eliminate the repetition.
Robert Service was writing about Yukon, not Alaska. This kind of bugs me.
In my decades in the north, it was never as terrifying as described in this book.
Not near the end, but in real life this intervention to help Cora would ultimately get her killed.
