I love a good mystery novel and I just finished a real page-turner!
If you’ve read James Patterson books in the past, you know they go so fast because they have short chapters and you blast right through the pages in no time.
The Writer has so many twists and turns! Just when you think you have it figured out, there’s a twist (and then another and then another and another!)
So add this one to your list- The Writer by James Patterson and J.D. Barker. I think you’ll really enjoy it.
There’s also a cat featured in the story- so reading about one while my own Phil Dawson snuggled on my lap or snoozed beside me in bed seemed like all was “write” in the world.

Movie Monday: My most anticipated movie of the year
I cannot wait for this. You know that when I’m at home, I have Court TV on my television non-stop (except for the occasional break for Friday Night Dateline and football), so I watched both of Karen Read’s trials. There were two in total, counting the retrial which just wrapped up this summer. Currently there […]

Movie Monday: This one’s for the football fans!
I love a good sports movie- especially those that are based on real people and real teams. Even though we’ll have to wait until Thanksgiving 2026 to see the new John Madden movie starring Nicolas Cage, I think it’ll be worth the wait! The new movie will be based on the NFL coach’s life and career. […]
