By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

I'll forgive Sidney Sheldon everything after he came up with that line!
They are a great way to escape, I have. Hopefully some of you might think so too :-) Let me know
I liked several of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series. It was sooo funny - the first 5 books. After that, it got soooo irritating. One would think after book 5 that both Stephanie and her sidekick would have Improved. But it was same-old same-old story. I kept buying her books but would skip-read throughout the story - starting on book 11? After book 18, I quit buying her books. I was fed up that both female characters Never Grew or Improved work-wise. Their personalities were definitely irritating me by then. Time to stop buying her books.
I'm currently reading a paperback book by Ashlyn Chase: The Vampire Next Door, book 3. I giggle on some places, and do Lots of skipping on the romance scenes (which sometimes takes several pages.) ... I ordered several of her books before even trying a book first. Found out that I don't really care for her books. But, I'm now on book 3 and have 3 more of her books to go.
On the Kindle, I'm still reading:
1. Donna Alward: Hired by the Cowboy - freebie romance
2. Stephanie Bond: Three Wishes (boring me endlessly)
I wonder how an online book discussion would work.
Already going off topic, but vis a vis dysfunctional families I did at last catch "Up In The Air" last night and thought of us all, sigh.
A book club is a nice idea, I'll join! Also, as a quicker fix, what about "Desert Island" book lists - the eight books you'd like washed up with you if you ever got shipwrecked?
I'm not sure which one yet, I need to pick one when I get off the computer. I have never been in a book club before, are we suppose to read the same books the same time?
