Happy New Year's Eve! I know I will be celebrating from home, being safe and probably asleep at midnight. I know, I live such an exciting life. HA!
A bit of book keeping. At this point I have read 171 books this year, not a record high, that was 200 back in 2022 which I also attribute to being home more at the end of the pandemic. Looking back over the past few years I would say this is about average for number of books.
Winter has come back as well. Nearly all of the snow was gone, except for the piles that the plow made by the street. We got an inch of snow on Monday and it has gotten much colder again. Time to be all bundled up or stay in the house for warmth.
While we are past the shortest daylight hours of the year, we have just reached the latest sun rise time here 7:24 AM where it will stay for another week. Sunset we have gained 10 minutes back on that time already, which sets at 4:27 PM today.
No Paw to Stand On Minnie and Rafe's wedding is fast approaching. All is well until they need a new officiant. Plus her matron of honor's restaurant has been closed because of a poisoning and another local chef murdered. Can Minnie figure it all out?
Eggsecutive Orders it is the week before Easter and the White House kitchen is hopping! Meals to prepare plus the annual Easter Egg Roll eggs to do. Then a White House meal guest dies and the kitchen staff is banished until they figure out if the reason had to do with the kitchen.
An Excellent Thing in a Woman Iris and Gwen are moving on with their lives and business. Iris is mourning the loss of her lover, Gwen is celebrating her freedom to live on her own with her son. A French client wants to get married NOW to an Englishman, but she ends up dead. Why?
Summit's Edge - part of the FBI K-9 series. Just two weeks before her wedding Meg with Hawk are on a case tracking a hijacker of a private plane through the Colorado Rockies. The hijacker has a vendetta and is determined not to be caught. Can Meg, Hawk and the rest of the team take him down?
My last checkout slip of 2025, I borrowed $4777 worth of books and other materials this calendar year. This is more than I paid in property taxes this year too. I do make good use of my library!
At least put the book on hold through your library!
While I didn't read all of her books I would vote for Sue Grafton. She had a series of books that started with the alphabet. She got to Y, then died. So she could come back and do Z.
Happy Reading.
