Here I Go Again/ Meet Me

sorry, I don't know who to credit; I picked this up on FB

 

 

I am making a return to Goodreads, Facebook, Amazon, NetGalley, and this new blog to track my reading. Just old-school blogging done when the inspiration hits me. No ads, no extras. I spent a bit of time writing up my static tab texts instead of posts about them, so please read... for more than you would ever want to know about me! I'm 64, a wife, a mother of 3, grandmother of 3, and have one dog and three cats.

 I watch BookTube & foodie YouTube often, and listen to true crime & book review podcasts, and read at least a couple of hours a day. Being retired helps a lot to that end. Though even when I was a mom of 3 young kids, 2 of them 19 months apart, I read every day and visited the library once a month. Then I went back to working and always tucked a paperback in my lunchbag. In other words, I'm addicted to reading.

I'll leave sporadic reviews here & there, and may join in weekly features sometimes. I currently use Kindle Unlimited, NetGalley, downloaded Amazon e-books, use Better World Books online for my print books, and the used book store also. I don't know what I'm up to participating in right now, since we are starting to get our house ready to put on the market, and that is always a stressful and tiring endeavor.

For those who remember me, I'm still heavily into detective procedurals (especially from Scotland, England, Ireland!) and thrillers, legal thrillers, with a smattering of women's fiction, small town contemporaries, and nonfiction/memoirs. Besides reading, I like to explore streaming shows on Netflix, Hulu and Prime, and use my brain to complete different types of word puzzles or sudoku. I enjoy looking for healthier spins on my favorite recipes too. I wish I had a craft hobby like knitting, crocheting, or quilting, but I'm clueless and all thumbs.  

You may always leave a comment if you'd like and I have it open to any commenters, but if the spam piles up, I'll have to make you pass the "human test". Any photos on this blog were taken by me and not available to copy (unless I state up front that it isn't my work). 

Hope to talk soon!- RitaH
