What are you reading this week of November 6, 2016? [View all]

Okay, this time I think I'm safe in saying that today we have an extra hour. I certainly do since nobody told my kitties. They woke me up at 4, as usual. Then I sat down at my computer and saw what time it actually was! I really dislike this entire concept and think it should end.

Meanwhile, I'm still feasting on A Banquet of Consequences by Elizabeth George. It's a long one, 575 pages. I think it would benefit from some trimming but it's still a gripping portrait of a very twisted woman and her dysfunctional family. Good mystery. I thought for sure I knew whodunit, but then again, maybe not.

Any tasty morsels on your book table this week?

So, Tuesday, let's get out there and do what we need to do, unless you already have. This ain't no party. This ain't no disco. This ain't no foolin' around. We ain't got time for that now!
