I'm continuing onward with my Western mysteries. I've had to go to the other library in town because I've pretty much exhausted the supply at the first one. Yeah it's a small town and I'm glad it is.

i just bought a paperback of short stories at costco written by tom hanks. impulse purchase; had no idea he was an author. if he writes just half as good as he acts then this should be $10 well spent.

The Highway Man, A Longmire Story by Craig Johnson. It's about my sixth book by him that I've read, and he's got about that many more that I'll chew thru after this one. Current time mysteries that take place in and around Indian reservations in Wyoming. Really good stuff.

I watched the entire Longmire series on Netflix (great until the last episode or so). Sort of like a modern day Gunsmoke.chief wrote:

JJ, I think you will like Peter Bowen and you should be able to find his books at the library. It’s modern western mystery. The author sounds like a character...he’s been a fishing guide, cowboy, hunter, poet, folksinger, novelist...jimmyjam wrote:

I was at the library today and tried to remember all my favorite western authors but only came up with a few, Max Brand, Louis L’Amour, Tony Hillerman, Peter Bowen. Will y’all list your favorites?

Just finished "Badlands" by Peter Bowen. Really enjoyed it, suspense, action and humor. Thanks TJ for the recommendation.
I've had a nasty upper respiratory infection/sinus infection all week so I've done a ton of reading. Worst sore throat I've ever had and constantly coughing up crap kills my throat and I can't sleep so I read. Can't wait to be rid of this URI!!!!!

i just finished "the president is missing" by james patterson and bill clinton. and while i have no illusions that bill clintion was hunched over a laptop typing away, it's obvious patterson consulted with him on a large portion of the book.
i enjoyed the book, and, as a matter of fact, just bought "the first lady" by patterson. it's another political book; shortly after the revelation that the president had been involved in an affair with another women his wife goes missing and $100 million ransom is demanded.
bill clinton is not credited on this book but i'm sure he could have added a lot as a consultant.
(since i complimented the patterson/clinton book i feel it necessary to add that i hate the clintons and this post may be the first positive thing i've ever said about bill.)

Just the other day I finished reading UNBROKEN, A World War II Story Of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand. Without giving away any details, it's a story of an American aircrew shot down over the Pacific Ocean and how some of them survived floating over 45 days in a raft. Thy were then captured by the Japanese and treated brutally as POWs. The really interesting part was how their lives were once Japan lost the war and they came home.

I’m reading The Practice of Practice. It’s about practice strategies and mindsets for learning to play music. It’s fascinating and eye opening.
Even though it’s geared towards music, the concepts can be applied to attaining any personal goal.
