This post was supposed to be a review of one of the many library books I checked out this month. And while I have been reading, I just couldn't make myself actually sit down and write a review. So you get this rambling post instead.
I've been binge watching the first few seasons of Cobra Kai...and completely loving it! So fun to see Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence back together, still sparring. I also love all the homages to the original Karate Kid movie, which has been a favorite of mine since it first came out. All the 80s music in it is great, too. I'm looking forward to watching the last three seasons soon.
I also just finished reading Eric Jay Dolin's well-researched book Rebels at Sea: Privateering in the American Revolution. I did not know how big a role privateers played in the American Revolution or their importance in helping to defeat the British armies. This book was very informative, and I learned a lot. I thought Dolin did a good job of making all these facts and historical figures interesting, and the book is very readable, though there were a few long chapters at the end that I found myself kind of skimming. Still a 4-star nonfiction read for me.
I've been slow reading Hosanna Wong's lovely book Uncomplicate It. It's wonderful. I love her views on how anyone can connect with God in their own way. So many of the chapters seem to speak to me and where I'm at in my life right now. It was Cindy's review that first brought this book to my attention and I'm so glad! It's one I think I need to own and read again and again.
And in a completely different vein, I just started reading Rob Hart's second Assassins' Anonymous book, The Medusa Protocol. I'm not very far in it yet, but am liking it so far. I also have Nick Petrie's latest Peter Ash thriller, The Dark Time, waiting for me to read next. Along with Her Time Traveling Duke by Bryn Donovan and Love At First Fright by Nadia El-Fassi. So maybe I'll manage to review one of these books next week. But I make no promises.
Happy Reading!
