I’m ready to scream, yell and tear my hair out. It’s 10:30 am and I’ve been at my computer for forty-five minutes and accomplished nothing. My first task was to send an email to members of my book club about the next book selection, but I cannot open yahoo mail after waiting patiently and then some.
My computer is new and I have Windows 10, but this morning everything is operating at a snail’s pace.
What I was able to do, was reserve David Baldacci’s new book Dream Town at the library. He is a favorite author of my husband’s, unfortunately, the wait is long, I’m #77 on the list.
Do the math. If each reader keeps the book for 2 weeks, that is 154 weeks away. Realistically we might have the book the end of August. I could buy the book for him at Barnes and Noble for $14.99. It’s something to think about.
Back to the book club selection; we chose Agatha Christie’s Death on the Nile, because I was reading The Christie Affair by Nina de Gramont and commented that it was a decent read but, did not reveal much about her disappearance for eleven days after her husband, Archie, informed her he was having an affair and wanted a divorce. Intrigued by the author’s life we decided on one of her novels, since none of us had read any of her books.
Well, I just checked my email and can read open messages. I no longer want to pull my hair out.
. . . just saying

Happy that your hair is no longer in danger. Buy the book for your husband; life is short. Mysteries are great for entertainment and discussion.

I saw the movie a couple years ago about her disappearance. Several of her books are on tv as movies now. I do love ordering books online from my library.

My experience is that even though I am way down on the list when I request a book, it is never as long as I think it will be. Give it a few days or so, and check on your number. You may be surprised. Good luck!

Hi Claudia So many of us feel the desire to tug out our hair. Fortunately, the desire passes and we become normal again. As a true Agatha fan, I have read all her books. Several years ago I came across A Talent for Murder. This is the story of what happened during the lost 11 days. I wrte a post – https://wordpress.com/post/booksandmorebooks2017.wordpress.com/780. You might care to red it.
