Wonderful Wordy Wednesday

 Typical March weather, really nice and warm, very windy, a bit of snow, sunny but cold. Just wait, it will change.  

Heading into March Madness. I will watch a few of the basketball games as the two largest universities in the state are both playing. Thankfully they play on different days. Means crochet time!

I stopped at one of the larger JoAnn stores in the area the other day. Yarn wasn't in stock at all, just a few odds and ends. The website makes it appear like there is stock. I wandered through the store and didn't see anything else that I needed. 

The new trivia place was OK. Lighting was better and brighter, less ambient noise. Food was so-so and it is one of the newer cashless places. No wait staff either, you have to place your order at the counter, they do bring it to your table. No refills on soft drinks. The place is a brew pub. 

 

Breathe is a short book with tips on relaxation, meditation and breathing. Ways to help you retain calmness in a busy world. Combine some yoga along with breathing exercises. 

Fatal First Edition librarian Lindsey is in a wintry Chicago for a library conference. She brought husband Sully with her. While at the conference she finds a rare book under her chair. She turns it in to the conference leader. On the train ride home to the east coast the book ends up in Lindsay's possession again and there is a murder. Is someone trying to frame her, why has someone kidnapped her husband? All this and a blizzard!

The Busy Body this was a fun book once I got into it. The "busy body" is the narrator of the book. She is hired to ghost write a book of a female politician who just lost the presidential election. While working on the book in remote Maine the neighbor dies. Suicide or murder? The politician decides to investigate.

The Clinic Haley is a famous actress who has entered rehab, then it states she has committed suicide. Her sister Meg doesn't buy it and gets into the same facility to see what really happened. Lots of twists right down to the last page. Interesting note, this is the author's first book after going into rehab and getting sober. 

 

My local library has a "1000 Books Before Kindergarten" program. You track books you read to them, or maybe if they read themselves at the end. Various rewards for milestones met and yes, you can count a book more than once. You know kids have their favorites.

Happy Reading.
