Blackwater: The Complete Saga by Michael McDowell. I liked it. Was not horrified by it like I thought I might be after reading the reviews but it was a nice long story that was interesting and kept me engaged even if I got confused somewhere in the middle. Picked the info back up a chapter later. The one thing I dislike about listening is it is difficult to go back and find what you did not understand. I miss books in my hand but these days this is the only way I can actually read all I want to read or ever finish anything. Retirement was supposed to be my reading time, HAH!

Just starting The Thicket by Joe R. Lansdale. I had not heard of it but was sorting through news that comes on my phone and saw an article about Peter Dinklage being part of the team producing (? or something else) the movie and he was signed to star in one of the roles. I thought it might be interesting to read and it was available.
