From the U.S. Armed Forces to The American Police Force and Emergency Personnel, to all who have served and lost their lives. Always in our American hearts with endless gratefulness.

Have a Safe and Peaceful Memorial Day/Weekend everyone.

🐻🇺🇲🦅🇺🇸💝.

AnnCrystal While I was helping my mom haul out the extra decorations for our American celebrations (we begin right around Armed Forces day and keep them up until around 4th of July).

My mom raised my brother and I with a high respect for our Americana. Her words are more, “out of all the cultures mixed into your blood, you are Native (Indigenous) and American first and foremost. You disrespect our Land or our Flag, you disrespect yourself.“👇

AnnCrystal Well, we were talking while decorating, about how Gotham City has seemingly swept across our America and how our Peace Officers are in a type of war.

This made me curious. Does America even celebrate our Peace Officers? I know, terrible of me not to already know the answer to this question. 👇

AnnCrystal Research told me there is a Day in January (the 9th) and a Memorial Day (May 15) that then leads into a Week of honor. And Firefighters Day is May 4th.

Since we're in the month of May, I decided to include Peace Officers and all Emergency Personnel in this post here.

Wow 😮 I loved these 3 novellas even more than the full books. Clever and articulate, the stories are artful and show intricacies of Bosch‘s character💙👍🏼

I'm not sure if Connelly's storylines hold up well when distilled into vignettes like these. I think the short length of these stories accentuates the weaknesses in Connelly's novels and makes the things that are strengths in the novels, like the character development, feel trite and calculated. Still, they do fill in some blanks from the novels.

I‘ve always been fascinated by the O.J. Simpson case. I found this on Audible Plus and figured it was finally time to mark this off my TBR.

Everything surrounding this case is tragic. So many people were affected by his actions. This had some interesting parts but did drag in places. I‘d give this a low pick at 3.5⭐️ The narrator is decent but a bit stiff.

This was a great listen. I didn't like the British accent for the narrator for a story that took place in the US.. it felt weird. But once you get over that, the story is really interesting. The author does a good job of making Keri Locke seem very personable.. she makes bug mistakes and doesn't have her life together. She seems relatable.

I am going to listen to the whole series I think.

I suppose you could say this was a #unique read for mystery #bookclub because a giant bomb isn‘t your standard murder weapon (Thank God!!), and it also fulfills the #newtoyou author prompt. I‘m not sure if I‘ll read anything else of his, but it was a@real page turner.

Another great novel from Michael Connelly. This time Harry Bosch finds himself caught up in an investigation of what seems to be a murder by the Triads, and it becomes intensely personal.
