My book club book of the month: As Close to us as Breathing. It's not as good as I'd hoped for, but it's okay.

I usually have a few books going at a time but the last couple back up books I started didn't keep my interest.

Before this I plowed through the YA Life as We Knew It series for light summer apocalypse reading.

I'm making sure my travel plans are in order, for Labor Day weekend. To make sure I haven't overlooked or forgotten anything.

Berlin in the spring of 1939. Hitler is preparing for war. Colonel Noel Mcrae, a British diplomat, plans the ultimate sacrifice to stop him. The West’s appeasement policies have failed. There is only one alternative: assassination. The Gestapo, aware of Macrae’s hostility, seeks to compromise him in their infamous brothel. There Macrae meets and falls in love with Sara, a Jewish woman blackmailed into becoming a Nazi courtesan.Macrae finds himself trapped between the blind policies of his government and the dark world of betrayal and deception in Berlin. As he seeks to save the woman he loves from the brutality of the Gestapo, he defies his government and plans direct action to avert what he knows will be a global war.Inspired by true events and characters, James MacManus’sMidnight in Berlin is a passionate story that will leave you in awe of the human capacity for courage, sacrifice, and love set against a world on the brink of war.

I just started it today but so far I am enjoying it.

The Time Keeper? I enjoyed it. It was an easy read.

I am now starting The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto by the same author.

CEU's and new protocols. Well, not currently, obviously, but I will getting back those shortly. My brain needed a break.

I just spent the better part of my lunch break (a very short one) diving into part of "The Butler's Guide to Running the Home and Other Graces" by Stanley Ager

I have SO many more things I need to be reading lately like books around education management and classroom psychology but I needed a reprieve. This is a good one!

Straight Pepper Diet: A Memoir
by Joseph W. Naus

What I find interesting about addiction memoirs is that men who are addicted (granted, I usually read female authors but the few male authors exhibited this), seem to carry megalomanic or narcissistic personalities (often coupled with horrible treatment of women or sexual addictions) whereas the women who struggle with addiction seem to internalize their issues and are more self-destructive rather than wreaking havoc on the lives of others. Both sexes are in pain, but how they convey or process/deal with that pain seems very different.

Statistics notes, not what you would call "light" reading, it might be time for a break.
