I used to only wear sneakers when I taught. My feet can't handle shoes. I'm glad the book has gotten better. I'm reading the book Martyr! which is great so far.

Yes, plantar fasciitis is not fun!  That was probably about ten years ago.  It got better eventually after I started wearing better shoes consistently, but it flares up every now and then when I wear the wrong shoes.

I finished "The Teacher" last night.  It definitely got better as it went on.  Most of the characters were unlikable, and some parts of the plot were pretty predictable, but it still had some good twists.  Not the greatest book I've ever read but certainly not the worst either.

I just finished Martyr! It was great. I'm glad The Teacher ended up being semi decent. They are making The Housemaid into a movie. I think it's starring Amanda Seifried. I wonder how that will be.

I'm currently reading I Will Find You by Harlan Coben.  It's about a man who is in prison accused of killing his son but then finds out his son isn't dead and he escapes to try and save him. 

I've seen a few of his Netflix adaptations and enjoyed them, so hopefully this book will be as good as them.  So far, so good although I'm so tired by the time I go to bed that I only manage a couple of pages.

Sounds interesting!  I watched one or two of his Netflix adaptations but haven't read any of his books yet.  I'm often the same way; I read right before bed when I've already taken my melatonin, so I get sleepy really quickly and don't usually get far.

I'm reading a new memoir called "Interabled" by Shane and Hannah Burcaw, a.k.a. Squirmy and Grubs on YouTube.  They're a really cute and funny couple that I started following on YouTube a couple years ago.  They released this book a few weeks ago when the California wildfires were really bad and donated all their profits from the first week of sales to the relief efforts, so I bought it.  It's full of stories from them and other interabled couples, and it's a cute, interesting read.

Boo! To me! I never scroll down far enough on the page to see the updated white blob for this board. I have read a few Harlan Coben books. He kind of reminds me of James Patterson in that they all kind of follow the same basic pattern. I have also watched a few of the Netflix series. I think I prefer those to his actual books.

I had to look up what interabled meant. Sounds interesting.

I am almost finished with a book called "I'm Starting to Worry about this Big Black Box of Doom!" It's such a perfect example of what it's like to exist in the bubble of social media. I am going to leave a review on my Book nook but if you guys don't follow that, basically it's about this guy who has a viral twitch, he plays video games and occasionally gives food reviews as he plays and he gets caught up in a situation where he helps this women transport a box across the country and it's really about how someone will take a spec of information and blow it way out of proportion to the point that suddenly there's tons of reddit posts and Twitter posts and Tik Toks about what's going on and it turns into a huge thing that everyone thinks is the harbinger of a nuclear attack on the Capital. It has the potential to be SO accurate. lol
