I wish I had more stuff going on in my life than I do so I could entertain you all with these amazing posts but alas I do not. My life right now is consumed by writing and that book is getting interesting!! I am over half-way finished and I am about to add this big mystery to the mix. So, yes, I am super focused on all that right now. Sorry....
We did have a cookout last night which was fun. But, no pictures! I didn't feel all that swift and I just didn't get up and mingle that much but the table where I was sitting was a barrel of fun. We laughed and laughed and that felt so good. And, afterward I 'snuck' me an extra hotdog up to my apartment so I could have it during my football game today!! Yep, it's Saturday and Alabama is up against Mississippi State. Lordy, that ought to be a fantastic game.
I do read a lot but if the book isn't all that spectacular I don't' remember much about it later on. Some books just grab you though. I like Charles Martin's writing and Kristin Hannah. Alan Levy is my new favorite. Oh, my gosh, I loved "Theo of Golden" as did nearly everyone who has read it. And, of all things I am now obsessed with Harlen Coben. He's got tons of his mystery books on Netflix. Who are your favorite authors?
I think that maybe I should set up one day a week for a 'speciality' post (the same theme) so that might make me have something interesting to say. What you think?
1. What's you favorite item (say five or six photos of same theme) and you pick your favorite
2. My favorite photo day
3. Four or Five Flowers
4. Favorite places I have been
aw, come on... help me out here. What you think?
Y'all have a fabulous day. And, if you root for a special college football team I hope your team wins!!
I have to admit - I am struggling through Theo of Golden. It has not captured my interest the way I though it would. I will be very interested to see what our book club thinks! I like your idea for blog topics. What seems unimportant to you might be fascinating to the rest of us, so do tell!
ReplyDeleteTry listening to it…the reader has the best voice and makes it easy
DeleteI agree with Gina; one person's mundane is of interest to another. I always appreciate hearing about another's life, whatever that involves. You are very social with solid family support = blog fodder; as is the writing process. I enjoy Kristin Hannah's writing as well as Isabel Allende, Cecilia Ahern. Elisabeth Berg. Just keep on keeping on, Latane.
ReplyDeleteI am in a season where I don't have time to settle in with a good book. My kindle reader has a few saved. Usually when our rainy season starts I get the book reading vibes.I was trying to read some of my favorite classics once again. so the last one was The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck.
ReplyDeleteYou're in the books writings mode and I appauld your dedication to finishing it. You are an amazing woman!
Theo of Golden!!! Absolutely the best. I got it on my kindle, then bought the real thing so I could share it. I've shared it with 7 people so far and they all loved it. I like Kristen Hannah too.
ReplyDeleteI think any of those things would be interesting to see from you. A photo post is easy to do and easy to comment on, so I guess that's my suggestion. However, I always enjoy your posts.
Roll Tide!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
Aw, thanks for mentioning Harlan Coben. For some reason (???) I fell off his wagon ... together with Deaver, Baldacci, Kellerman and Child. Something's definitely awry with my reading mojo.
ReplyDeleteI've only read one of Kristin Hannah's -- "The Women." Loved it, but man, it almost wrecked me. Theo was good, but I liked The Correspondent better. The best book I've ready in years and years is The Book of Lost Names.
Great post!
I'd choose Favorite Photo Day, or Favorite Places I've Been. But I will read your blog no matter what you post.
ReplyDeleteOur Seattle Seahawks beat the LA Chargers. Woohoo!!!
You're making great progress on your book! Way to go. I always enjoy reading about what's happening in your community.
ReplyDeleteTheo of Golden is a book I've not yet read - the reviews are so mixed, people either love it or hate it. I do enjoy Kristin Hannah.
Theo of Golden was a wonderful book. I enjoyed it very much. You just blog about what ever is on your mind!
ReplyDeleteMy college roommate gave me Theo to read on my way home from visiting her. I liked it and was surprised by the ending. I passed it on to my son in law but haven't heard whether he's read it yet.
ReplyDeleteHi Latane, based on the many comments to you, I just put a Hold on Theo of Golden. It'll be a little bit of time before the book is available to me from the library but I can't wait to read it:)
ReplyDeleteHappy Writing! As someone who has written a book it does take a lot of focus. Keep up the great work! Cheers, Ivy.
ReplyDeleteNo matter what you write about Latane, your posts are always fun to read. Wishing you a very happy October.
ReplyDeleteYour posts are great. Made me happy about your table of fun. I like your favorite photo idea. I read very sporadically. I think my favorite book lately was Before the Coffee Gets Cold.
