Saving Faith | David Baldacci
post image
Pickpick

Another excellent book by David Baldacci, this time a standalone. Great tension as people are out to kill Faith as a result of intrigue between the different US agencies and lobbying parties. Plotting by David Baldacci in his books is excellent and keeps you wanting to read on, great storylines and characters that come off the page.

I also bought this during a sale on Audible- I read the ebook when it first came out. I really enjoyed the audio version. This thriller really holds up well and was definitely worth the time

Even as a #longtimefed when I knew there was a chance he (yes, always a man) would say a sentence or two that pertained to my organization, no matter who was giving the SOTU address, I wouldn‘t watch. It‘s been mostly performative for a while now.

Tonight I might run the floor cleaner to drown out the TV in the other room, but more likely I‘ll watch Netflix with headphones.

melissajayne I‘m not going to watch either 3mo
TieDyeDude It's just a group calisthenics class anymore, though I have a feeling the Dems won't be getting much of a workout this time. If any organization still utilized fact-checkers, I would have felt sorry for the long night they have ahead for them. 3mo

Susanita @dabbe @AmyG Andy Borowitz said: Tonight‘s speech is called a Joint Address because the viewer can only address with a joint. (Not my thing but to each their own!) 3mo
AmyG @Susanita Ha! 😂I read one where they said “the media expects the address to have the highest ratings in Russia”. 3mo

Reportes who were main characters in this story felt interesting. At the beginning they talked about their childhoods and that gave them some depth.

The setting was an abandoded church and that could have been amazing (scary!) setting. Descriptions were non-existent so there is that :( Everythings was over before you were immersed into the story.

I enjoed as long as this lasted but I think this could have offered so much more.

As someone who has read all of Hillary Rodham Clinton's non-fiction books, I knew I had to pick this one up. What a thrill ride! State of Terror is the story of a newly appointed Secretary of State who is thrown into a massive worldwide terrorist plot. Clinton's own tenure as Secretary of State gives the story a realness that only someone on the inside would have experienced and Penny's sharp plot keeps the pages turning.

In the present, recently elected congressman Harrison Leonard is poised to do great things when he starts receiving mail threatening to expose something in his past. In the past, Jake and 3 friends, including Andy Leonard, spend a week before going to college at his grandparent's lake cabin where a series of terrifying events changes them forever. This was a quick, entertaining read though Miss Bailey isn't sure she's impressed.

This one was a super quick vacation read. Something in a young politician‘s past haunts him, and his chief of staff is determined to find out what. A thriller, but with nothing graphic or too scary. Definitely predictable elements, but still enjoyable. I like the exploration of what drives peoples‘ motives and where power comes from. Entertaining, even if it is forgettable.
