I think I’ll add “Captain’s Courageous” to my audio book list. It’s hard for me to read print books since my right retina developed a “pucker.”

Finishing “Follow the River” right now (Mary Ingles years old on the Virginia frontier in 1755 is pregnant with her third child when Shawnee Indians invaded her peaceful Virginia settlement, left behind a bloody massacre, and took her captive for months. Then she escaped.) It’s ok, not great.

Also finishing “Who Killed Jane Stanford” on Spotify. Fascinating inside story of Stanford University in the 1890s and the murder of Leland Stanford’s widow. But WHOA is there a lot of detail! Overwhelming detail. Mind numbing, choking detail. The author needed a good editor to trim it by a third or maybe a half.
