We tend toward paper instead of blogs...showing our age? LOL We both just finished the Left Behind series of 12 books that we enjoyed reading. Otherwise, I lean toward John Sanford, Michael Connolly and Grisham-type books.

A friend of mine does Bear Mountain Books and another friend does blog.booksontheknob.org and I also go to forums on, in no particular order, Two Wheeled Texans, Case Knives - Handcrafting pocket knives in the USA since 1889., AR15Armory, a Gun forum for We The People, Honda Silver Wing Forum and a couple of others similar to those. I also have a ton of books waiting to be read.
Audio books sifi of fantasy, or our blog
I don't get to read much anymore, too hard on my eyes. I visit EO, a LOT and a site whose membership is limited to "Old Spooks".
The last book I was able to read is one written by one of those "Old Spooks", Glenn Fannin, JR. He too was in the ASA and we have become friends in the last year. The title of that was was "We Served In Silence".

We Served In Silence by Glenn Fannin ? Reviews, Discussion, Bookclubs, Lists

Only one blog ever kept me interested for a long time: Boobs, injuries, & Dr Pepper. The author [a woman named Crystal McKee, though she calls herself 'McKnob, and the explanation is hilarious] is quite remarkable, as a wife, mother, and a writer - I've never known anyone as genuinely funny in my life. And I sure wish I'd read her when my kids were small, because her style of parenting is what I would have done, if I'd had her imagination [and nerve].
If you start at the beginning, you'll be hooked too, I bet.

Jenny: if you like to listen to audiobooks, there are 2 I highly recommend: Call the Midwife, by Jennifer Worth, and Code Name Verity, by Elizabeth Wein.
Both are excellent, but Midwife is better for short stop & go sessions, Verity is one you want to hear what happens next, lol.
I liked Midwife so much I sent English Lady/Sue a PM about it, and she replied "I love it! Watching the second season now." I didn't even know it is a series on the BBC, [I don't have a tv] but I still think the audiobook is better, because the narrator is just amazing.
Audiobooks are wonderful if you like hearing different accents, and I like that a lot.
PS Verity is about 2 young women in the Women's Auxiliary [British] during WW2, possibly much like your grandmother [whose photo I just saw in another thread]. I recommended it to my daughter, because the characters are about her age [mid 20's] and what they experienced is fiction, but not - it's what happened to a lot of young women in wartime.
