The Ratcatcher by Anthony Khaseria

Wow, this was a quick entertaining listen to on Audible. I kept it playing as I was doing all my chores. This book's performance on Audible was above and beyond the normal items in the Plus Catalog. From the beginning to the end of the book I was caught up in the story, however I did not see the end coming, nor did I appreciate it. It was such a bizarre twist that I'm not sure how the narrator ended up being the guilty party. A fate determined by a delusional mental nut case. I would rate this book a 4.9 out of a 5, because the ending is so beyond my scope of thought. I'm still sitting here reeling from how it all ended. Audible out did itself with the caste and crew! This is a must addition to anyone's summer reading list. 
    

FYI: I had a follower message me about how I ended so many book quickly. I literally read to my child all the time along with listening to most books on Audible. We do not have TV so sometimes I keep the books playing while we are doing chores. I have over an hour commute to and from work. I listen to the books during this time as well. I also turn up the speed of narration which is something I prefer. Most of the books I review are only 13 to 25 chapters in length, so reading them goes by fast. 

    I always have one book on Audible and one that I'm reading via Kindle or paper based. I do not have the patience to just be reading/listening to one book at a time.

The Teacher's Lie by Brid Cummings

     A book review at its finest. I think every book is worthy of a review, so here goes nothing. I think the overall story is worth your time, however, I feel like the person who read it aloud on audible did the book dirty. Her accent and weird pausing in the middle of sentences really threw me off as a reader. I actually went back and purchased a paper copy. The author kept me guessing throughout each chapter, but the book was slow moving. I would put it down often to just take a break.      I would give this book a 3 out of a 5 due to the pacing and sequencing of events in the plot. Do not listen to it on  Audible, because it's terrible and dry.

LGFCU to Civic Bank

      This transition or merger has driven me absolutely crazy. I hate it and cannot even fathom how everything will work out. As a customer, I'm so annoyed and the lack of answers by actual people is ridiculous. So, I guess it will be only online banking? With school, a toddler, and a small farm I have not had the chance to move everything over to a different bank. It wouldn't matter anyway, because I have a loan through them that will transfer to the Civic bank.      Ahhhh!  Today, our cards stopped working and I was so upset. I had forgot and didn't get money out of the ATM beforehand. They forget that some of us are over 30 minutes away from the nearest town! I guess cash is really KING! I just home all my automatic withdrawals don't mess up along with everything else. I have no idea how older people will get through this phase. Both my mom and grandmother don't even use computers and can barely operate their phones. Both of them have never even us...

Counting

      Counting on something is just another way to set yourself up. Each year I do this and you would think that I learned from the previous year's mistake, but NO I didn't. So here we are again sitting down here at the pout house thinking about how we are going to rebound from my expectations. Money can be made again and future planning will be taking place.           I will have to count my losses fully take responsibility for the fact that our egg production just cannot keep up with the demand. I will have to pay back a few people because I cannot fill their orders. Egg production drops during the winter months.  I know the ladies I work with will just want to barter for something else. Maybe once we get ducks that can be a trade off. I do not know a lot about ducks and will have to do some extensive research. We do have a small pond on the premises and that will fill some of the needs.          Any pointers o...
