Where the Crawdads Sing has kept its place on the bestseller list for a long time. I didn’t want to read it but it wouldn’t go away. Every week, it’s there again – inescapable.
Why didn’t I want to read it?
As I viewed the Amazon page for the book, I found three compelling reasons to NOT READ Where the Crawdads Sing:
(1) It was a pick of the Reese Witherspoon Hello Sunshine Book Club — what is this? I like Reese, but seriously, does every celebrity have to have a book club?
In this book review of The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell, I will share with you what I liked, what I didn’t like, and whether this is a book that you should have on your bookshelves or in your Kindle collection.
This is the first book that I have read by Lisa Jewell. I have heard her name, and heard people mention her books, but until now I have never been compelled to read one.
As a picture of food often compels us to visit a restaurant, I will admit I do judge a book by its cover and perhaps that is the reason that I have never before read this Lisa Jewell book.
If you enjoy using Google Translate, you’re likely to be a fan of a cool new feature that was released called Google Transcribe.
Google Transcribe, a result of Google’s cloud speech-to-text recognition, was bundled with the Google Translate app recently in March of 2020.
Simply put, Google Transcribe does live speech-to-text [which is cool by itself] but it does transcriptions from one language to another instantaneously.
Many people have asked me where the alarm clock is on Android phones. For example, I recently received this email from Valerie.
Question: I am searching for an Alarm Clock on my Android Phone and I can’t find it. These Android phones do everything so I know that there is an alarm clock, but for the life of me, I cannot locate it. So, my question is, where in the h*ll is the Alarm Clock located on the Android phone? Thanks, Valerie –Houston, Texas

As winter and flu season invariably approach every year, people wonder if they should get the flu shot. Well, wonder no more because I’ve got you covered.
I recently received this letter from a visitor to A Rich Idea:
What is the best way to learn Spanish?
Spanish is spoken widely throughout the world and in ever-increasing numbers in the United States. This is probably why so many visitors write me and ask: “What is the best way to learn Spanish?”

Here is an email that I just received from a frequent guest of A Rich Idea:

Those who read this blog may at first be disenchanted. “Nobody can do that,” you think. If you make $1,000 per hour, and work 8 hours a day, then you would be earning $8,000 a day with AdSense. Maybe I should have titled the article that 😉 .

So, I´m gonna pop on the computer and see what all the fuss is about — this is my official ChatRoulette review.
