Taking a break from tragedies, I read a few books to lift my spirits.The first one to really lift me was "Life Is Like Making Chocolate Cookies", By L. Sue Durkin.
There were two romances, "The House On The Shore", by Victoria Howard, and "Beyond The Quiet" By Brenda Hill. Both were very good and I would recommend them to anyone.I also read "Peas, "Pills" and Parkinsons" By Alice Crooker. It deals not with the disease, but her humorous outlook on things, especially the way she overcomes the effects of her disease and how she deals with life in general.I also read "A Study In Red" By Brian Porter. A psychological thriller about Jack the Ripper's origins, and a compelling read. One need not be a psychiatrist to get into it. He quite skillfully omitted blood and gore, but the effect is raather chilling.
At any rate, that is what I have been up to. You can find my reviews of these works in the section titled: 'My Reviews of Other Works'.
