Wonderful Wordy Wednesday

My area has been under air quality alerts for the past week. Trying to stay inside as much as possible. Cooled off so if the air was nice it would be great to be outside. Outside enough to get the lawn mowed doing a section a day for three days. Then I am only out for 30 minutes or so, not so much to be too much of a health hazard. 

Ducky is doing OK. At times his snotty nose makes his breathing sound horrible. He sounds good most of the time. Vet visit due in a couple of months.  


Peril in Paperback, sixth installment of the Bibliophile mysteries. Brooklyn has been invited to a house party in Lake Tahoe. Attending with her friends Vinnie and Suzie and to do some work for their host. Grand but strange house. Moveable walls and trap doors. During a seance another guest is poisoned but it was likely meant for their host. Can Brooklyn figure this one out on her own? Derek is in Europe providing security for a young heiress who is being threatened. Or is she trying to seduce Derek?

Prisoner a memoir of the author recounting his life, especially the 18 months he was detained by Iranian officials for supposedly being a spy. He was working for the Washington Post at the time. He is of Iranian descent and he had married an Iranian citizen as well. 

A Devil Went Down to Georgia details the nearly 20 year odyssey to bring the murderer of Lita Sullivan to justice. Through it it also highlights the differences in the justice system to if you have financial resources to post bail and higher high power attorneys and how race is a factor.

 

Far too many to pick just one. Characters, both male and female that I wouldn't mind being for just a little while!
Thankfully Ducky does not read and does not keep the light on. Many years ago my then sister-in-law gave me a read in bed light. Being single I this wasn't something I needed and my mom got all weird thinking I was hiding a live in boyfriend!
Real life for me is reading. No commutes, hours spent working. Although I got an email from a recruiter through LinkedIn. She didn't read my "Retired and Loving It" job title!

Happy Reading

  1. That autobiography sounds really interesting. My big problem is finding the time to sit quietly and read!

  2. Oh no way, I'd not want to be a character from any of my favorite books; the author has put them through the ringer!
    Only Henry gets anxious when I'm up reading/listening.
    Books are my security blanket, for sure.

  4. I'm glad Ducky is doing okay.

    It would be lovely to stay home and read, but the need for groceries overwhelms me on that.
