The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles by Steven Pressfield
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This book was recommended during a Verbal to Visual Q&A event in the chat. So, I requested it from my local library to read. I waited at least six weeks before my request was available to check out.
Was that just a form of procrastination?
It does help to read that the only way is though when procrastination and interruptions abound in my life.
Yes, some days, I need to be reminded of my own self-sabotage.

V is for Vengeance by Sue Grafton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was given this book in 2012 because my mother and my aunt read it and they "knew" I would enjoy it.
I did enjoy reading it when I finally started it in 2026. I enjoy mysteries with quirky characters told by the excellent storyteller that Sue Grafton was.

The Art of Spending Money: Simple Choices for a Richer Life by Morgan Housel
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was recommended and summarized in Alex & Books newsletter. It was one of his top 10 favorites in 2025.
I recommend reading it every five or ten years. Yes, the advice/wisdom is not only his. I like this quote of his, "All behavior makes sense with enough information, and we are all on our own quest for the simple life."
I borrowed this book from my local library.

The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since Aug 4, 2017. It was next in line to be read, and I decided to give this #Young Adult, #Paranormal, #Mystery a chance. I liked it.
While most of the characters are just coping with high school cliques and puberty, Violet has the secret ability to "sense" where murdered bodies lie. She can also sense this taint on the person who kills.
I was entertained by the story and the author's storytelling. My recommendation is, Give it a try.
