Goodreads has released their list of books to vote on for the year.

Jane · « **Reply #92 on:** November 18, 2024, 05:05:04 PM »

I am busy trying to read a number of the books listed that I haven't read yet.

Jane · « **Reply #93 on:** November 18, 2024, 05:06:40 PM »

As usual the category with the most books that I have read is "historical fiction".

Jane · « **Reply #94 on:** November 18, 2024, 05:07:42 PM »

I haven't read any of the books in the "fiction" category, however, I am waiting for one of them to be available from my library.

Jane · « **Reply #95 on:** November 18, 2024, 05:10:46 PM »

I have the book on my to read list as it is also a "debut novel" and I try to read those and support new authors.

George, I wish I had read The Mercy of Gods when you suggested it as it has been nominated in the SciFi category. I'll try to read it before the first round voting ends.

Keith also got Wordle in three.

Wow, they just made Grubhub+ free for Amazon Prime people. No delivery charge, half-price service fees. This is excellent news.

That's pretty darned cool. I've paused (but haven't canceled) my Prime account.

Cool! I haven't read it yet, either. And sadly, I can't find my older Kindle that I downloaded it onto.

Gratuitous Post #100!

I'm sure it's somewhere in my house. I just haven't really looked for it since I'd been working on the play, but now that that's over, I should make the time to do the search.

People don’t call it Hell Week like they used to ten or twenty years ago. Now it’s just Tech Week. Even in schools. Maybe it’s time to bring Hell Week back.

I was involved in an actual Hell Week recently.

I watched a good film yesterday that I’d never heard of but probably some of you have.
Career
Starring Anthony Franciosa as a guy who dreams of a big life on the stage but can’t seem to catch a break or see one when he does catch it.
Dean Martin is great as his playwright pal who big-times him. Shirley MacLaine burns up the screen as usual.
Very fun film to watch for theatre lovers, those with the calling. Also, gets a little into the blacklist, albeit in a halfassed manner.
Carolyn Jones also great as Tony’s agent.
Recommended and free on the tube of you.

Thanks for the recommendation, John. I like movies about theater/ theatre/theeder.

I don't know if I should be doing this, but I have been driving a bit "without" my eyeglasses.

Yesterday, I found I did not require sunglasses.

It's a freedom I have not known before. I like it.

I eagerly await Dec. 12th for my second surgery!!!

Congrats, Jrand!

Took a friend out for her birthday. The order of onion rings was so huge, I could only eat half of my excellent party melt.

Now starting another noir from another box set. This one is The Lineip. Eli Wallach is the bad guy. It involves heroin in a doll, which vaguely resembles Wait Until Dark.

I'm guessing Vixmom was doing an edit and adding the photo while we were reading it.

Accurate!

The guy inn the picture with DR VIXMOM had a lot more stuff in front of him.
