Finished book No. 8 this morning.
I read Before Tomorrowland by Jeff Jensen/Jonathan Case/Brad Bird/Damon Lindelof.
It is a prelude to the Disney movie Tomorrowland that came out last year.
It's the story of many historical figures/brains that discovered an alternative world and their attempt to introduce the rest of mankind to it. Unfortunately, the bad guys/Nazis want it for themselves. A mother and son get mixed up in the intrigue.
I really enjoyed the story. Perhaps more then the movie.
Now to sit down and watch Tomorrowland again.

1. Schooled in Revenge by Jesse Lasky
2. A Murder is Announced by Agatha Christie
3. Kicking and Dreaming by Ann & Nancy Wilson with Charles R. Cross

Well, they were kind of minor characters. :p
I have several historical books about the bad guys. :)

You are jamming, congratulations!
I finally found a mystery author that I really like
M.C Beaton and the books are reasonable. A Scottish Constable who seems to be very good at solving murders, just one the first book now :-)

Yes, thank you! I find solace in settling in with a comfortable author. And hopefully I won't get bored as I see in the Constable Hamish series I am on book #1 of #79.

If I was more intellectual about it I would skip around, but I just want something easy right now ;-)

I know huh? Quite insane but I am figuring they MUST get pretty repetitive.

I would think they would have to be a bit after that many. :o

I think the Discworld series has 30 some books and I am about half way through that one.
Same with the Stephanie Plum series. :)

You're doing very well. I love reading so much. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have books!

Thank you. I think I am trying to make up for lost time. I didn't do any reading for a very long time. :o
