Here is this week's Tuesday 4.
1. Would you tell us about a book you particularly enjoyed?
One of my favorite books is Early Autumn by Robert Parker.
It is the story of a boy taken under Spenser's wing. Spenser is the name of the character from the TV prrogam Spenser for Hire based on the novels by Robert Parker.
2. Do you have a favorite book series? How about a favorite series when you were a kid?
As a kid I really hated reading books though I hung out at the library reading the Encyclopedia Brittanica and things like that. I was more into comic books like Archie and Veronica, Little Lotta, Ritchie Rich etc.
As an adult I finally read Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder and loved the series a lot. especially for it's historical content.
3. Is there a book that you just did not like or one in which you just could get interested? Yes, there have been too many to mention. I hate tear jerker novels.
There was one Anne of Green Gables book I was very disappointed in as Montromery seemed to lose interest by the end and gave a very throw away ending.
4. Is there an author whose books you don't want to miss or one whose books you avoid?
When he was still with us, I didn't like to miss the novels of Robert Parker. Both the Spenser series and the Jesse Stone series were really good.
January has begun with a bang for me which is odd since I sleep so much. The biopsy went okay but it was a bigger deal than I thought and it hurt. I've been perpetually worn out sleeping often, losing my hair, unable to focus on things much, having problems swallowing etc. Friends and family have no idea what I've been going through along with the spinal pain and heart problems. It's been overwhelming but I keep things to myself since others have their own problems. I'll know results in a few days. Right now my neck is bruised and I am sore. I slept most of the day away after coming home.
Annie, I had no idea you have been going through so much. What a lousy friend I am...and I apologize. Keeping you in prayer.
ReplyDeleteI'm keeping you in my prayers, Annie. I hate that you're going through such a horrid and painful time. May God heal you!
ReplyDeleteI'm praying for you, Annie and pray that they find out the reason and solution to your issues. I'm so sorry you are going through this pain.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book series is the Mitford series by Jan Karon. No surprise there, I know! I also love the Fairacre series by Miss Read. I remember reading most of the Little House books, although I may have missed a couple. As a teenager and even younger, I loved reading mysteries. Trixie Belden was my favorite. I never read an Nancy Drew.
Praying for you to have a better new year, my friend.
Hi Annie, I am so sorry to hear you have been going through that. I will keep you in prayer. 🙏
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear you've been going through a medical issue. Praying your year improves and that all will be well for you.
ReplyDeleteI hope the biopsy will help give some answers. Thyroid is a common problem for people that many don't realize they have...but thankfully there is good medication for it and reasonable treatments. Praying for good results and some answers that will help you. I enjoyed your answers and am still contemplating writing my post. It's been a busy couple of days and it's not over yet, so I may not make it today or tomorrow. But we'll see. I'm just trying to get caught up with a few of our friends posts first for inspiration! Blessings to you my friend.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Annie! I'm so sorry to hear all you're going through. You are going right on my prayer list. I hope everything is good news.
ReplyDeleteAnnie I'm so sorry to hear of your health issues, sending up prayers for speedy healing and recovery.
ReplyDeleteContinuing in prayer and joining with all those who care about you , for complete healing...soon !
