So my friend, Terri and I are reading a story written in 1925. An American Tragedy by Theodore Dreiser. We both decided to read this together as it's on our book bucket lists. Dust cover from 1926 edition We will share our progress, thoughts, opinions and eventually our individual reviews. Anyone else interested in reading along with us, just leave Terri and I a message below. Since libraries and book stores are closed nationally due to COVID-19, you can find either the paperback or kindle edition on Amazon. There are many editions on Kindle, but all the same story. I actually found my kindle edition for only 45 cents! Ok, Terri...let's get to it, my dear friend!

Hi everyone! I pray you are all doing well, staying healthy, and keeping a positive attitude during this very difficult time all over the world. This COVID-19 pandemic is absolutely awful and devastating to so many families. I thought we could all pass on a positive thought or a favorite quote to help lift our spirits. I'll get things rolling... "HAPPINESS IS NOT THE ABSENCE OF PROBLEMS, IT'S THE ABILITY TO DEAL WITH THEM." -Steve Mariboli, author & behavioral scientist-

This bestselling adventure novelist passed away today at the age of 88.  I have read many of his books over the years, all full of intrigue, suspense, and hard to put down page turners.  Sometimes called The Grandmaster of Adventure, Clive  Cussler has a new novel, “Journey of the Pharaohs,” set to be released March 10, with several more awaiting what will now be posthumous publication.   He founded his own National Underwater and Marine Agency and participated in dozens of searches for old ships, including one that turned up a steamship belonging to Cornelius Vanderbilt.
