Musing Mondays is a weekly meme that asks you to choose one of the following prompts to answer:
- I’m currently reading…
- Up next I think I’ll read…
- I bought the following book(s) in the past week…
- I’m super excited to tell you about (book/author/bookish-news)…
- I’m really upset by (book/author/bookish-news)…
- I can’t wait to get a copy of…
- I wish I could read ___, but…
- I blogged about ____ this past week…
So what did I blog about this week?
- TJF Syndrome: written by a former NSW police officer, and it’s being marketed as something you’re going to have to decide what is truth or not. Given how depressing it is, and how it made me rethink the NSW police force, I’m still unsettled by it.
- Male fanboy sci-fi authors waxing lyrical about the female authors they enjoy! LOVED THIS.
- Why I’m a romance reader even if it took me ages to admit it
- The best book cover I’ve seen in a long time: We all looked up by Tommy Wallach
THIS WEEK’S RANDOM QUESTION: How often do you use your local library? Are you happy with their availability?
This one made me stop and think because I couldn’t remember when last I’d been in a library. That’s a combination of lifestyle and the ability to buy books and keep, lol.
PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Musing Mondays post, or share your answer in a brief comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks! 
Um, I would think that attitude could be found in any police force,or army for matter. However, there are so many instances of good practice we have to hope the systems are still reasonably healthy. It is often a matter of poor recruitment, bad pay and low public esteem add corruption and those meddling politicians it is an unhealthy brew. We need to honour the police more instead of using them only to clean up the mess we leave behind – I think that book would make unsettling reading.
I keep forgetting that — that, that sort of attitude is present in all police forces. The book focused on the bad, while the one good guy, well the bad overpowered every bit of goodness in him. I expected him to find some other people he could bond with in the story, or the story to show the good in the force that prevails despite the bad. But it didn’t, it’s not that type of story. Thanks for giving me something more to think about it!
I use my local library a lot. Otherwise I couldn’t afford all the books I want to read! 🙂
Fair point, lol!

This question is really interesting considering that I hardly think about the library since I have a lot going on right now. But I hardly go anymore since I have so many books at home that I haven’t read yet.
Here’s my musing mondays post: http://our-thoughts-precisely.blogspot.com/2015/03/musing-mondays-23.html
I hardly think about it too! My collection at home is keeping me more than occupied too! thanks for stopping by!
