My Favorite Blogs - WWBC

 Join this and Blog every Wednesday on a fun subject. 

Sign up Here: https://www.longandshortreviews.com/


I use the Internet so much I don't know if I can name a specific blog. I also know every blog I look at has to be taken with a grain of salt. That sure doesn't keep me from going to a few over and over so that's what I'll tell you about.

1st up...

Eating Well

No question that I visit here once a day. Not really vegetarian but lots of veggie recipes as well as health hints. This is a colorful blog. Simple recipes and healthy ideas. One of the few that I actually read the newsletter.


The Punctuation Guide

Since I write reviews and edit, I spend a lot of time researching punctuation. The rules seem to change overnight (or maybe I'm just old:) .

This is a rather nice site because you can look up by the particular punctuation, i.e., comma, apostrophe, etc. It also gives a lot of good suggestions. 


The Kitchn

Once again, another cooking blog. But...I like to cook and I also try to vary most of my meals. I don't just like to cook. I really enjoy learning about food and the science of it as well as the history. So this one has a little of all that.


Finally...I use two sites more than any others.

I use Library of Congress to see what subject headings they have given a book plus other pertinent info about it.

and...I just have to admit it...

I use Amazon, not just to buy something but to compare pricing. I even use it for groceries. Sometimes it is just to discover if something exists and then research it other places. Nonetheless it is my go to for things like that. (I'm so embarrassed). Well, not really. It's a good tool.


OK, 'fess up. What do you use? I'll take any suggestions but would love other book sites.

Shot Through the Book

 

Shot Through the Book (A Lighthouse Library Mystery 12)Shot Through the Book by Eva Gates
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I just couldn't get through this. I loved the idea of the lighthouse library, a library cat, and a few of the characters. Still, it seemed like I picked it up, read a few pages, and put it down again and again. 

I have thought on trying to explain why I didn't enjoy this. It was slow or at least that was what I decided. At one point I realized I had read quite far, and we were still trying to find someone to fill in for the famous author who died. Just not for me, I suppose.

This is the incredible true story of railroad worker and union official Mike Elliott, targeted by his railroad employer, BNSF Railway Company, for his safety-related activities. As the union's state legislative board chair, Elliott was the top safety official in the state, and the voice for over 900 rank & file locomotive engineers operating trains around the clock, every day of the year.
