Weather has returned to more season temperatures after being in the 80s for the first 4-5 days of October. Although the open windows have been nice for both me and Ducky. Even better is that the humidity was low so even while warm it felt wonderful.
Baseball playoffs continue. Milwaukee Brewers have won the first two games of the series against the Cubs. Game three is late Wednesday afternoon. Go Crew!
Got a respite from football this past weekend, Green Bay had a bye week. I actually didn't watch any football this past weekend! Rare occurrence.
The Woman in the Water in London 1850 Charles Lennox struggles to make a name as a private detective. He finally gets a case to solve through a newspaper article. As time goes on the victims come closer to his loved ones. First in a series but I wasn't that thrilled with the book so I am not going to read the rest of the series.
Betrayal at Blackthorn Park the second installment of the Evelyn Redfern mysteries. Now working as an agent, Evie is assigned a simple case of checking out a possible theft of materials. What she gets into is two deaths. Suicide or murder?
The Women this was an emotional book to read. Historical fiction, but well researched to provide the story of the women who served in Vietnam as nurses. As a teenager I lived through the continuing stories of the war, protests and home coming for vets and POWs. The highs, lows; loves and lives found and lost. Finally healing. This book spent weeks on the best seller list and still has a wait list for the book through my library system.
It's Banned Book Week, so go read something "they" don't want you to read!
Do this a lot these days!
Happy Reading
I know that I've read Charles Finch's Charles Lenox books, but now I see that I've missed a few of the most recent; updating my TBR.

ReplyDeleteIt's so nice when the heat breaks. We are still waiting.
ReplyDeleteI hope your teams stay in the running.
I remember reading a book by a woman who was a nurse in Vietnam many years ago. It was rather brutal, and then the way she was treated when she got home. Such a sad chapter in history.
