Tess Gerritsen’s Body Double is book three in the Rizzoli & Isles series. I have read the first four books of the series (I read three and four out of order). So far, Body Double is easily my favorite book in the series. I have enjoyed all four books, but Body Double is simply outstanding.

Reviewing a Spark of Light
Jodi Picoult’s A Spark of Light is one of the most thought-provoking novels I have ever read. She takes on the controversial issue of abortion and does a masterful job illustrating things that commonly lead to abortion, reasons why some protest the right to abortions, and how government can become a huge problem in the… Continue reading Reviewing a Spark of Light
Reviewing John Grisham’s The Reckoning
John Grisham’s The Reckoning is a good look at racism, sexism, patriarchy, and different views of honor. If you like legal stories The Reckoning will leave you entertained and have you guessing.

I’m writing this post because my experience confirms many of the survey’s unfortunate… Continue reading America’s Attitudes About Blindness
Wrong is Wrong
I’m tired of Republicans justifying Trump’s bad ideas and cruel policies by constantly trying to create false equivalencies with things done by Barack Obama or the Clinton’s. If something was wrong when a Democrat was president that something should be wrong today. If something is worse than anything done during a Democratic administration, it should… Continue reading Wrong is Wrong

Yes, I watch Married at First Sight. Yes, I’m very late with this review. I know season eight has begun. I’m late because I watch the show with Aunt Barb, who got me into it, and we haven’t had time to finish. But I have caught up on what was the weirdest season so far.… Continue reading Married at First Sight Season Seven Review
I’m Leaving Facebook
This is the 300th post I have made to this blog. It’s kind of a cool milestone for me. So, I felt like acknowledging it here. I used to believe there was a responsible way to use Facebook. As long as you didn’t like any business pages, share anything from a business, or click on… Continue reading I’m Leaving Facebook
