Thank you everyone for voting and helping to get our country back.
Just finished Michael Connelly's 2020 novel, Fair Warning. An intriguing tale of DNA and NDAs. It's fiction but it's about some very real and some really awful people. Plus, fairwarning.org is an actual news website. Kind of surprised I never heard of it before. Anyway, good book. Recommend.
Next up, the brand new one from Carl Hiaasen, Squeeze Me. "A novel that captures the Trump era with Hiaasen's inimitable savage humor and wonderful, eccentric characters." I will actually be able to enjoy reading this one now, and laughing MAO 
.
Listening to The Cat Who Tailed a Thief by Lilian Jackson Braun. It's almost Christmas in the little town of Pickax, which really feels appropriate right now added to the fact that I awoke to a snow-covered yard this morning. What do you think, is it too early to put up my tree?
Wishing you all a really happy week. Whatcha reading? 
= new reply since forum marked as read
I loved this author’s “Lewis Trilogy”
It surely IS a fabulous week, hermetic! 
Never read it, though. Sounds interesting. It's about the 60s - 70s. Fun times for me. 
I am about 3/4 thru the book and it seemed like a story of fairly normal people having a strange encounter, but now something terrible is happening and I don't know what's going on!!! Stay tuned.
Description from amazon.com
From the bestselling author of Rich and Pretty comes a suspenseful and provocative novel keenly attuned to the complexities of parenthood, race, and class. Leave the World Behind explores how our closest bonds are reshaped—and unexpected new ones are forged—in moments of crisis.
Amanda and Clay head out to a remote corner of Long Island expecting a vacation: a quiet reprieve from life in New York City, quality time with their teenage son and daughter, and a taste of the good life in the luxurious home they’ve rented for the week. But a late-night knock on the door breaks the spell. Ruth and G. H. are an older couple—it’s their house, and they’ve arrived in a panic. They bring the news that a sudden blackout has swept the city. But in this rural area—with the TV and internet now down, and no cell phone service—it’s hard to know what to believe.
Should Amanda and Clay trust this couple—and vice versa? What happened back in New York? Is the vacation home, isolated from civilization, a truly safe place for their families? And are they safe from one other?
Many thanks for the thread, hermetic. Doing the happy dance with you and all the world!
And creepy. What would you think? I tell ya, that's something that really does scare me. If the TV and internet and phone all went down, even living in a town with neighbors close by, imaginations would be running wild.
But for now...
And it is a delicious read!
