My Drug of Choice, Books!

       I do love a good glass of wine, on occasion. A Bloody Mary with a brunch or two. My one Margarita, that gives me a splitting headache!
      But my best buzz, comes from reading.
      I cannot go anywhere or function, if I do not have several books downloaded and real books, stacked to the ceiling.
 I can read as many as I want, and not effect my driving or my behavior. Too much alcohol, is just that, too much.
      Grab a book,(get on some good anti-depressive meds) and maybe a glass of wine.

     Here are my last books that filled my cup.
            1. A Man Called Ove by Frederick Backman 
            2. Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty
            3. Sisters One, Two, Three by Nancy Star  
( Note...I wrote this blog on paper while watching, my Wyatt, and now I cannot read my handwriting, so hang with me! You may need to check these authors names!! and Book titles!! I think I am pretty close to what they are called!! Near is good!!)
( Near is Good, next blog title!!) ( No Gin and Tonic can make me that happy!!) ( to trip upon a word grouping!!)( plus I may write the entire blog in parenthesis!)
             Lets start with.Sisters.....I think these three books, I would put under summer reads, I do not know how I read them in February, but I did.
             Now some lines from Sisters that will guide you to reading it, or steer you away..
                Mimi is stubborn as bloodstain ( Love that)
               " Who knows. I trained myself not to listen, The minute she got that cuddly tone in her voice." ( powerful)
                You know tears are not for the car. Tears are for the privacy of your own room with the door closed. ( You can tell from these words, what year this book took place in)
                She didn't know a neck could be so unhappy (OMG this is brilliant)
                Well raised in the art of deflection ( holy)
                Ivan says a quiet exit speaks louder than a hundred words. ( yes it does!)
                Ginger felt the heat of her mothers irritation seep into the air. ( love the word, seep and I can feel this sentence!)
                about a thousand square foot of quaint! ( goes a long way)      
               Big Little Lies, I only started to read, because I began to watch it on HBO and I have no time to wait on things. Reading the book is quicker for me, so when I found out it was a book, I read it!
              Who has time to wait for endings??
              lines from the book....
              It's like their religion. They are fundamentalist mothers!! ( well, that is the truth) ) a step too far)
             Madiline had her mood under control, like a rabid dog on a leash. ( and the leash is not working)
             Women are like the Olympic athletes of holding a grudge. ( guilty)

Summer read for sure, think it may be an older book, can be combined with the series, kinda fun.
             Now finishing up Ove... I think there is a movie out on this also, maybe a foreign short film.
             So far it is lovely.
              A couple of snippets...
              He was a man of black and white. And she was color, all the colors he had. ( love that thought)
             Ove, only swine thinks size and strength are the same thing.(hummmm.)

Those were my three February reads. I start painting in spring and summer, so my reading dwindles, not in volume but in time that I have to read. Like I said before.
             It is my drug of choice.
