A few months ago, I read the final book in the Wheel of Time series. It was definitely cry worthy. Robert Jordan died before finishing the last book when I had less than 20 pages left in the 11th book. I had read the series during some rough times, so when his close friends finished the series (adding two more books because there was no way it could fit in 1 book), it was like closing a door. I don't want to ruin the ending, but it really struck a chord and resonated with me.

Lo-and-behold!

The "local" library had a copy of Jennifer Finney Boylan's "She's Not There" book.

I picked it up this past Thursday and I just finished it. Couldn't put it down.

A box of tissues later-> Wow.

Can't wait to read Kay's book. Thank you Kay.

Huggs, :wub:

Fun to read nicely written about a strong woman and don't the strong partner, well done!!

"Sacre Bleau" by Christopher Moore. Dark and artsy, almost as good as his book Lamb, about the lost 30 years of Jesus, as told by his childhood pal, Biff (so irreverent and so good).

Reading a collection of stories by Robert A. Heinlein Author of "Stranger in a Strange Land"

Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress was one of my first SciFi books I've read as an adult. It's still one of my favorites.

What's kind of weird is that I haven't liked anything I've read from him since.

Interesting that a Danish author would choose to change to a Finnish name.

The English equivalent being John.

Books on history fascinate me, and we can all learn from history, right.

Right now I am reading " The Last Lion " by William Manchester.

A semi Biography of Winston Spencer Churchill, " Alone 1932-1940 " A case of British politics and there silly ideas of appeasement leading up to WW2.

We could all learn something from this.

Just finished "No way Renee"

Way cool stories from Renee Richards and her most famous transition in the 70's. She talks of life after all the hoopla, very interesting insights 40 some years into the future....

But I totally forgot to mention the title of the book which I am enjoying so much-The Horse Chronicles.

It's on Amazon and super reasonable too.

And Mike didn't even offer me cookies to endorse it. I genuinely like the book

:)

Johnny

Why Thank you JJ. I've just ordered a truck load of cookies just for you. You made my day by saying that you're enjoying The Horse Chronicles. We sure had a lotta fun with our horses back then.

Just finished reading

"She's not the man I married" by Helen Boyd.

Interesting read as the book is written from a SO's perspective.

Started to read "True Selves" by Mildred L. Brown and Chloe Ann Rounsley.

A bit clinical but it seems to have some good information, albeit dated(DSM-IV).

If editing a novel counts as reading a book, the one that I am 'reading' now is tentatively titled "Never Stop Dreaming" and while originally written 14 years ago (I guess that makes it a period piece as I am not planning on updating it - only polishing it) it does not contain anything at all about trans issues - I was still in total denial.

I am not sure what name will be used as the author because it was written from the perspective of the male lead, any suggestions?

Sorry for the shameless plug but when I found this one and the half written one from the same period I had to read them and you know what - I liked them!

Watch for Never Stop Dreaming to hit Amazon sometime next month and if it sells I will work harder to get the next one finished.

Love ya,

Sally

      WOW @Ashley0616 it’s good that you have skills to treat traumatic injuries, as well as the ability to remain calm while managing others needs to get yourself and the boys ready to go to the hospital. Proud mama bear skills. I’m glad that he’s doing well.    Meanwhile back at the ranch, we slept in and I’m just now finishing my 3rd cup of coffee.    Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Well yesterday was not fun. I was getting ready to make dinner and I hear screaming and crying. I look over and my son put his foot through glass. He gashed near his Achilles tendon. Thankfully that is intact. I didn't freeze for a second. All of my military training came into play. I doctored him up and got Jett ready and myself and we headed to the ER. He is doing ok today. He says he is in pain but doesn't need Tylenol. He is a tough cookie!

      Hi,   It's seems today is my trans birthday.  I'm beyond excited. Just picked up my testogel from the pharmacy. Although I naturally have doubts as I'm sure do we all, they are rapidly disappearing. Yesterday I was so nervous I kept claiming I'm not trans, despite grinning like a fool knowing I can pick up my prescription the next day. I'm shaking and on the verge of happy tears. I will put on my first sachet this eve. Thanks so much to this forum and kind words from people. This is the first forum I found when I began seriously questioning.

      While the Soviet Union did not end up being the source of all evil, I believe that history has shown that Joe McCarthy generally was right. There ARE all kinds of Marxists slithering around. And if that had been dealt with firmly 75 years ago (or more) the nation wouldn't be in the shape that it's in now.    And while I generally oppose the idea of intervening in foreign affairs, the world probably would have been better off if we had taken care of issues in Russia and defeated the Bolshevik Menace back in 1919. God bless the memory of Admiral Kolchak.   Getting back to project 2025, my belief is that Republican efforts are inappropriately focused on trans folks. A minority of a minority does not wreck a nation. But it is easier to focus on trans folks because they can look like they're doing something. They don't have to address the real problems, and really they don't want to address them because they would have to address themselves.  They would also need to admit that the 50 State version of the USA cannot be saved.

      @Willow things went pretty well on Monday. I have been working on the project all week long. I've been hanging out with my husband a lot, since he said that nobody would mind because I'm working on company stuff. My work is going slowly, but it is going. Rather better than I had hoped.   I ended up waking up late this morning. After 18 months of only working on house chores, not really used to doing anything else. Actually a little bit tired

      Getting back to this… I've seen objections to Critical Race Theory, but simply "critical theory" is a new one on me.  I think we need to be "critical" about a lot of things, or at least examine why we believe what we do about them.  If they stand up under scrutiny, great.  If not perhaps we need to look at something else.   Not all socialists are Soviet Russian Communists. I have read very little Marx myself.  That kind of writing bores me quickly.  But I think there are legitimate concerns about unfettered capitalism.  There are countries that seem to do well on a mixture of capitalism and socialism.  But I am no Tankie.   The Red Scare kinda morphed into the Lavender Scare, and now we have this Transgender Scare.   The thing is, most people are scared to get to know any of the people they are scared of. I'm not scared of evangelical christians.  But I am a little scared of what they seem ready to do to me, because they are scared of me. I am not a scary person - don't want to be.  I'm just an old trans woman trying to mind my own business, and get with what's left of my life. And the 2025 project seems to be designed to make that difficult.
