The Heavens May Fall | Allen Eskens

This was a good audio distraction because it is a plot driven mystery. It‘s always a bit jarring when the setting is familiar.

It occurs to me in retrospect the Latin motto in this novel was not lived by half the American eligible voting population. 😒 Act with integrity no matter how the chips may fall, including your own wallet.

Defending Jacob: A Novel | William Landay

I have an idea that this is what enduring love really means. Your memories of a girl at seventeen become as real and vivid as the middle-aged woman sitting in front of you. It is a happy sort of double vision, this seeing and remembering. To be seen this way is to be known.

When I checked this book out of my local library, I didn't realize it was two books in one until I almost got finished with the first story. The first story: The Jailhouse Lawyer involved a lawyer who became a public defender in a small town. She soon realizes that there is evil in the town. The second story: Power of Attorney involves a lawyer that left her small town for a big city. She returns home because her ⬇️

I liked the fact that both books had strong female characters. Neither of them took crap from anyone. They stood for what was right even when it was hard. Two good legal thriller reads.

😊Happy Reading 😊 #readaway2024 #serieslive2024

I don't want you to say anything. I want you to listen. You know, being confident isn't the same as being right.

Ex DA becomes criminal lawyer, takes on a murder case - the client did shoot and kill the person, it is a matter of how to defend him. Writing is good, it is just too slow (although introduction lets the reader know this is not like the TV dramas, it is more realistic and not as action packed). One person waiting for the ebook – I am happy to return it early and let someone else read it 😊
Make a great day everyone 😎

dabbe I loved the movie, but maybe I'll skip the book! #hailthebail! 🤩🤩🤩 5mo
bthegood @dabbe didn't know there was a movie - will have to try that at some point 🙂 5mo
dabbe @bthegood Oh, it's good. It stars Jimmy Stewart. It's free if you have an Amazon Prime membership. Otherwise, it rents for around $3.99 on most streaming apps. 😊 5mo

Thanks for the tag @Deblovestoread and thanks for hosting @dabbe

I earned a 20% - I don't usually remember a songs title or even artist, but I'll know the song when I hear it - so I think I knew more than my score reflects 😊

As for music in general (and some names I saw on the list) - any Fleetwood Mac, Queen, or Janet Jackson will make me smile 🎸

Make a great day everyone 😎

dabbe That's why I had to create a Spotify list; I'm horrible at song names! I probably scored 10 more just be giving a quick listen! Thanks for playing and sharing! 🤩🤩🤩 5mo

Jess_Read_This That‘s so neat and sounds like a lot of fun! Chiming in with @Tamra and @AlaMich pack all the bug spray and citronella.

💙 I'm a small town gal. Grew up in a small college town in Illinois, then left to go to college in a different small college town in Michigan, and have been a Michigander ever since.
💙Anatomy of a Murder is set in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where I reside, and the film was shot in the UP, too. (Highly recommend both)
💙Adding a bonus book: The Overstory by Richard Powers. He was born and raised in my hometown in Illinois.
