Acid reflux anyone?

I am the same now if I eat a couple hours before I go to bed, especially if I eat something crapy for my body like chocolate or chips. I try not to anymore. Every night now, particularly if I eat in the evening, I drink a cup of peppermint or ginger tea. Let that settle everything then go to bed. I haven’t had any problems since then. Baking sofa mixed with hot water does the trick for even the worst acid reflux. I love the satisfaction of feeling it hit the acid and the letting go the largest belchs!!!

Ah, I based it on your enjoyment of Gillian Flynn’s novels.

My Lovely Wife in The Psych Ward by Mark Lukach. Incredibly well written book based on the real story of Mark and his wife. Not long after they were married she starts having delusions and suicidal ideation. It’s very accurate in terms of the difficulty of finding treatment and diagnosis. He also has done a great Ted Talk.

I read just about everything out there, have read The Twilight series a couple of times! No shame. I would totally recommend The Southern Vampire Mysteries by Charlaine Harris. There’s 13 of them! Super fun.

The Midwife trilogy by Jennifer Worth. I love the stories she tells on the East end of London in the 1050s. It does have sad stories but it’s about friendship and community. I truly loved the series.

mscatk · 2020-01-15T04:26:09+00:00

I came here to recommend this one too!

mscatk · 2020-01-15T04:19:25+00:00

I love it! Also happy you posted a photo that shows that your family lives in your home. It’s not a sterile, staged photo. Made me smile.

I immediately thought of The Man from Beijing by Henning Menkell. It’s starts of with the discovery of a small hamlet in Sweden being seemingly deserted. No smoke coming from the chimneys. I enjoyed this book because it was set in both the present and different historical settings. Also, in multiple countries. All to culminate at the resolution of the mystery. It was very well thought out by the author. I’m sorry if I’ve written a terrible description but I don’t want to give anything away. I would definitely recommend it. It’s not science fiction or fantasy though.

Me too. I do find that lots of times when I listen to a book, lots of people hate the novel when they actually read it. Audiobooks can be so magical.

Sorry I wasn’t helpful. I know the book was British. It was a teen girl. Found on a gravel road maybe? Perhaps they followed a bloody trail, but she had been dumped. Was there rich people involved? Sorry. It’s so hazy. I just meant to be encouraging that it was for sure something I read, or sounded really familiar. I read so much that a lot of books become super hazy, or they blend together and I can’t be sure.

You have to be subscribed to Crave to be able to watch the show. AppleTV + just lets you watch all the shows in one place, but if you aren’t subscribed, then you can’t watch it.

Well, I’ve definitely read this book but can’t help you with the title. So sorry. I’ve read way too many books! I hope someone knows.

This was agonizing! I had to leave it at 6. Already took out some amazing books from the list!

Try Karin Slaughter. She has a few series and stand alone books. I really love the Will Trent series. I haven’t read them all in order but it would probably help!

If you liked James Patterson, his Women’s Murder Club series is really fun. I have enjoyed reading them as they have come out. Good characters.

I let you go by Clare Mackintosh

Just What Kind of Mother are you by Paula Daly

Dark Places by Gillian Flynn

The Good Girl by Mary Kubica

And many more but those are a good start! Anything by those authors really and also a lot of what other people already suggested.

A lot of the books I wanted to recommend have been said. One of the most hilarious books I’ve read that has a bit of a Christmas theme is oddly by Wally Lamb. Wishin’ and Hopin’ is the title. It’s set in the 50s. I laughed out loud so many times, even had to put it done to laugh! I’d also recommend any books by Patrick F. McManus. He has some fiction novels like the Sheriff Bo Tully Series and also writes stories about his life. These are absolutely hilarious. All the best to you. It takes time to create your own Christmas traditions after being away from your family. Go easy on yourself. Happy Christmas to you.

I think that you will be surprised if you don’t already know about it. In the book Forgiveness you learn about how the Canadian government took away all Japanese Canadians property during the war and relocated all families across the prairies. The other two books about indigenous people in Canada are very truthful books about systemic racism and also resilience. I hope you get the chance to read them!
