Angelaboord Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Mumto2 and Stacia - I hope both your mothers are doing better. We met with Abby's surgeon on Wednesday. He seems very competent and I was impressed with the hospital. We will be trying to schedule her surgery for the week of July 11. I completely forgot that my birthday is that week, though. [emoji53] I now have an Amazon cart loaded with recs from this thread and others on my Goodreads to-read shelf and am in the painful process of trying to whittle it down. I'm reading 3 books at the moment, sort of - How Not to Die by Michael Greger (The title makes me wince every time I see it, though.) My History, by Antonia Fraser (a memoir, which hooked me because she mentions Our Island Story as the book that prompted her love of history, and also because my mom loves her books) The Chosen, by Chaim Potok (a pre-read for my oldest dd, and also because it was sitting on the shelf while I was walking the baby back and forth in front of the bookcase.)

My mom died after her surgery. She was such a wonderful mom. I'm going to miss her so very much. I am so, so sorry. Your mom has certainly had some health challenges in recent years. It is so hard to spring back. Safe travels if you are headed to a memorial service. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wimseycat Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Over the course of my research, I came to the conclusion that my British sleuths have a hard time staying in one place and have an occasional tendency to swing to the more graphic side of things. Even Agatha Christie had some topics that I really wished she would have skipped when my 11 year old was reading them! I have put together an assortment of mystery series that to the best of my knowledge are as cozy as Christie because she is definitely the queen of the genre. I thought I would mention the Kate Kingsbury Manor House Mystery Series. They take place during WWII and they were good fun and clean enough to let my daughter read them as well... :) Link to week 25 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mumto2 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Just wanted to check in before the new thread starts and tell all of you how much you kind thoughts and sympathy means. It's been a rough few days but things are stabilizing family plan wise. I finished the obituary last night. I haven't done much reading. Planning a long walk today if the weather cooperates. ;) 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
