One item I didn't mention last week is that my TBR I am only 10 months behind! The list starts with books I have added after August 1 of 2024. Better than when I was at least 18-24 month behind!
Did trivia with friends this week and we did pretty good. Fourth place out of nine teams. Our score was typical of what we usually score. One of our favorite waiters was working that evening too. They give the wait staff some of the answers to help out, plus being so much younger he knows stuff that we don't.
Ducky is doing okay for being an old mancat. His 17th birthday is coming up in a few weeks. He sleeps a lot but his appetite is pretty good.
Air Time third installment of the Charlotte McNally books. Investigating knock off designer bags with a source that seems to have vanished. Plus is it just the bags that aren't exactly what they seem?
Cue the Sun: The Invention of Reality TV If you are a reality TV junkie, this book is for your. Think reality TV just started with Survivor? Think again. Author takes things back to Candid Camera in the 1950s and others since before the more recent shows. I usually don't bother with this type of show, which I refer to as contrived situation TV.
Dying of Politeness is a memoir of actor Geena Davis. A fun read about her personal life and her movies.
Morally Straight is an account of the Boy Scouts of America and their history with discrimination and exclusion especially starting in 1978. After a period of sex abuse cases the BSA specifically excluded homosexual males. Thinking that homosexuality and pedophilia were the same. Recounts court cases and societal pressure over the past 40+ years to acceptance and inclusion.
Happy Reading
Your trivia night does sound fun. Even though I don't read much I also enjoy your book reviews too. Maybe some day I'll actually pick up a book LOL
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting bunch of books! I think that reality TV is a really bad idea, and I never, ever, watch it!

ReplyDeleteReality TV isn't.
ReplyDeleteMy 19-year-old cat also sleeps a lot, and sends a message to Ducky to keep enjoying the golden years.
Oh wow! I'm a triathlete too!
