No idea where it went! The years fly past faster and faster.
I’m reading Plague Pits & River Bones by Karen Charlton, the fourth in the Detective Lavender series set in the early 19thC.

Hidden Figures. I liked the movie, so I got the book.

Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House by Michael Wolff arrived on my Kindle an hour ago, thanks to a pushed-up publication date. Should be a fun read!

I have it as well. I was able to time the purchase request to library for digital edition to be first in line. The waiting list now for dead tree and ebook grows every day.Susan wrote:Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House by Michael Wolff arrived on my Kindle an hour ago, thanks to a pushed-up publication date.

That was a good strategy. I probably would not have read it without all the publicity. I figured I'd have to wait forever for a digital copy at eLibraryNJ or for a hardback copy at the local library so I pre-ordered it at Amazon the other day. I actually didn't mind paying for it. $14 for something that upsets you-know-who is worth it!Misfit wrote:I have it as well.
