Frosted Pansies
Well, our highly anticipated snow event resulted in a bit of snow followed by a bit of sleet leaving a frosty coating on everything in it's path.
Tiny icicles hung from the gutters.
Not enough to build a snowman with, but pretty nonetheless.
It was a good weekend for reading.
I finished this and thoroughly enjoyed it.
After remarking to Brett recently that I needed a book that I just couldn't put down, this one crossed my path. (note the words above the title).
Having never read this author, I decided to take a chance.
I didn't realize until I got home that the book was written in 1978.
Apparently it was hard for me to put down as I finished it in a day.
It definitely took some unexpected twists.
This one, set in Australia, was next up.
It is starting off on a mysterious note.
Sometimes when I finish a book I like to wait a few days to process the one I just read. I planned to do that last night, but before I knew it I started this one.
Last year I signed up for a reading challenge on GoodReads.
I fell short of my goal by ten books.
I set the same goal for this year and now feel I am off to a good start.

I don't often read fiction anymore, but am currently reading Parable of the Sower online -- scary stuff when thinking about everything going on in the world right now. Also am physically reading Secondhand. Sending warm wishes your way.
ReplyDeleteThose are some good looking books. I do love a book I can't put down!
