What are you reading Chapter 4

Just discovered this series...detective/police procedurals set in St. Paul, Minnesota. I'm on this second book and liking them so far...

I’m on “The Road South”, a biography of Shelly Stewart, a black man who grew up in Jim Crow Alabama and went on to become one of the first black radio station owners in America. Shelly “the Playboy” Stewart, through his early saturday morning radio show, Blues Before Sunrise, first exposed me to the melding of blues and soul that was modern blues from labels like Malaco. He was an influential part of my blues education and his book tells an amazing story about overcoming impossible circumstances to become a major player in the radio business.

Currently reading a very interesting set of books called The Verus Foundation series by Matt Eaton. I got the first one (a novella called Sleeping Gods) free on my kindle from bookbub. Liked it so much I paid for the next one. It all starts with the Apollo 8 mission and Frank Borman is the central character. The second book (I'm reading now) takes off from there and without spoiling, we start getting things like aliens, Mars, and secret organizations on Earth. So far I'm finding it well written, an (relatively) easy read, and hard to put down. I highly recommend it.

Tween Lit...

...fairies living in the bowels of Fenway Park...condemned to stay there until The Curse is Reversed (AKA: the Saux Win The World Series)
...a sweet, confused, adopted, mixed-race 12 year old named Oscar...(If I had his parents, I might be more than ‘confused’!) His adoptive dad is one of the fairies.

Meanies...Time Travel...fairies who are genuinely scared of what might come next if the Saux ever DO win it all...waves of mice with good intentions...40 weasels on 40 leashes...12 year old Babe Ruth, 12 year old Willie Mays, 12 year old Branch Rickey...

Dayum! I got caught up in it!

It would help if you’re a baseball (history) fan. ;)

How the Hell did this book get set onto paper with Bill Klem’s name misspelled??!! 2WICE!

But I digress...

A Super Double Fun Saturday Afternoon!! :roflmao:
