Ha! Monday was interesting. Trivia night and we did very good, second place with 74 points but only three teams this week. So everyone got a gift certificate! Nice of the bar manager to be generous.
Came home to watch the last few innings of the World Series. It was the 7th inning about 9:30 when I go home and the game lasted to the 18th inning and ended just before 2 AM. Yes I stayed up, hope the Tuesday night game doesn't last that late. I should have taken a nap this afternoon, but instead I finished reading a book. Game time was 6 hours and 39 minutes!
What I found out was that the local station that had the game on actually had their news staff stay and do a live news report at 2 AM. Crazy.
Weather is good, slowly getting outside stuff done.
Grace Under Pressure is the first of a series called Manor House Mysteries. Grace is the newly hired assistant curator at a manor house which serves as a museum and high end hotel. When the curator is killed she is suspected of killing him to get the top job. In trying to figure out who did the murder she finds out someone has been trying to blackmail the owner. Interesting book but not enough to make me want to read the rest of the series.
Paper of Wreakage is the story of the New York Post over the past 40 -50 years which corresponds to ownership by Rupert Murdoch. The Post is the longest continually published newspaper but under the Murdoch ear it was turned into a tabloid paper. Authors gather comments from people who worked at the paper during these years. The authors also worked there. Not knowing the paper that well, not being a reader this book didn't do much for me.
Happy Reading.
I "mostly" stayed awake for the Monday night game ... I was on the couch ... dozing off .... a little here and there .... I kept telling myself I'd get up and go to bed ... but I didn't. I saw the end. I am happy that last night's game didn't last as long. LOL
ReplyDeleteAm so amazed that folks have these stories in their heads, then they write it down, an editor approves it, and then we can read it!
ReplyDeleteMy TBR list is over 1,000, and I'm reading as fast as I can.
Couldn't do any of it without the library, because 98% of my books are borrowed, and every time I go into the library, I find new titles to add to my list.
Is the library enabling me, or am I enabling it? Hmmm....
We simply follow in the newspaper the next day, except the paper will be late if the game goes so long.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, yes, a library is much better than a candy store.
