"Persistence is the hard work that you do after you are tired of doing the hard work you already did."  Newt Gingrich

"Try again.  Fail again.  Fail better."  Samuel Beckett

"When I thought I couldn't go on, I forced myself to keep going.  My success is based on persistence, not luck."  Estée Lauder

I went through four bad / ho hum mysteries (three pages each and I moved on)  before I came to Charles Todd's series about a British police inspector fresh from shell shock in WWI.  This hero is beautifully tormented by Angus, the demanding voice in his head.  I absolutely can't wait to read every book in the series.  Then I will pray for more.  Begin with A Test of Wills.  Nancy

Dare to go Bear

 

 

 

 

I really don't enjoy perfect people, but I did like Eva Ibbotson's A Song for Summer.  Our CDO brought home several of Ibbotson's teen and adult books after raving about Journey to the River Sea (which she highly recommends for teens), so I picked up A Song for Summer and found a gentle read about the eve of WWII with perfect people as well as unusual secondary characters.  Nancy
