A Calamity of Souls | David Baldacci
post image

David Baldacci is an excellent author. His books pull you in and keep you until the very end. This one is no exception. It is a very emotional story. A time when things were not good in this country. When people thought it was ok to hate. Kind of like now. Back in 1968 there was a hope for change. Now in 2025 there are those that want to go back to the 60s.

The Partner: A Novel | John Grisham

Pickpick

I was equal parts entertained by this book and entertained by being entertained. How did JG have me root for a lawyer faking his own death leaving wife and child while funneling $90 million (1992 dollars) from his slimy law partners!? Then after 4 years he orchestrates his own arrest. I dunno, but it was good and I didn‘t give thought to this contemporary fiction being 28 years old!

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 4mo
Suet624 Are all of those Grisham books yours? 3mo
marleed @Suet624 They are! And get this - one book was a gift but all the rest have been thrifted since Fall 2018 for something less than $4. In a conversation with a sister when I noted I liked JG, she asked my favorite. I had no idea - couldn‘t recall what I‘d read compared to watched on screen. So I decided to read his canon. My sister passed away but I still have 8 books (they have blue tabs on the spine) yet to read. 3mo

Suet624 That‘s amazing. 3mo
marleed @Suet624 It‘s been fun. I keep up with new books as they come out so I don‘t grow the canon taller than it already is. But I have to get the new release from the library, then monitor the thrift stores or Friends of the Library for my copy after-the-fact. It‘s become a thrifting thing and I can‘t go back, but it‘s fun how quickly I find the new releases of JG in the thrifting isles 🤣 3mo
Suet624 And have you enjoyed each one? I think I‘ve only read 2 and I enjoyed them but for some reason ended up not continuing. 3mo
marleed @Suet624 yes, some more than others. What‘s intriguing in this commitment I‘ve made is not how his writing has progressed over all these books. It‘s how his language has changed. Most books are set in the South. His early books contain a liberal use of the N-word sometimes even the good guys using it. It diminishes over the years to the bad guys using the word to where it is now it‘s seldom used. Proof when we know better we do better. (edited) 3mo

When I checked this book out of my local library, I didn't realize it was two books in one until I almost got finished with the first story. The first story: The Jailhouse Lawyer involved a lawyer who became a public defender in a small town. She soon realizes that there is evil in the town. The second story: Power of Attorney involves a lawyer that left her small town for a big city. She returns home because her ⬇️

MonicaLoves2Read her dad is suffering from alzheimer's.. She takes over his office and soon has a client her mom gave her card to.

I liked the fact that both books had strong female characters. Neither of them took crap from anyone. They stood for what was right even when it was hard. Two good legal thriller reads.

😊Happy Reading 😊 #readaway2024 #serieslive2024

I very much enjoyed seeing behind the legal profession‘s curtain🥸 I find it all very fascinating, always have. The verbal sparring etc… between the Plaintiff & Defence counsels had me LOL several times🤣 Definitely not my last Grisham or legal thriller📚🤓

CoverToCoverGirl I really enjoy Grisham! 4mo
