Stupidity

I love this. :0)

I’m doing my part in trying combat my OWN stupidity by reading almost a book a day, rereading my collection of In Death books by J.D. Robb (Nora Roberts) before I receive the newest addition in paperback at the end of this month, # 51 Shadows in Death.

I’m on book # 16 right now, enjoying Eve Dallas’ world in the future of trying to put the bad guys away. Her world is gritty, and parts of it are heart-wrenching, but her incredible strength, determination, and courage bring her through. I also feel I know all the people around her.

This is probably a flaw in me, but one I enjoy – that I can reread and gather details I don’t remember. I remember the main thrust of each book, but I notice things I may have skipped over, or not appreciated as much as I would like, before. I do the same things with favorite movies. :0)

My book collection has helped me weather the pandemic, feeling as if I’ve visited old friends. I’m making myself go through my collection, culling out books I probably won’t read again. I’m listing them on Amazon for resale, and we go to the post office almost every day to mail a sale to a person I hope will enjoy the book. I’m down to a small shelf of books to sell now, so very soon I’ll make myself tackle another area of books in the house.

I hope that you are enjoying favorite books as we continue to try to stay safe and well.
