Well another interesting week! The Chinese proverb about living in interesting times can go pound sand. Although as a curse it does make more sense! It doesn’t help that I am missing a cat and am quite worried about him. I am participating in the American Cancer Society Read Everyday in August to help raise money. So far I have been able to accomplish the task.
Although I have to admit, reading a cosy mystery has been my saving grace. I found a new series by Lucy Connelly called Scottish Isle Mystery. The main character is an American doctor, Dr Emilie McRoy. She was the head of the Emergency Department in a large hospital in Seattle, but due to the direction her life was taking, she knew she needed a new start. Sea Isle, Scotland was where she went. A very small town in Scotland where she has begun to find her new life. I have totally enjoyed the books. (Three are published to date.)
Elise and I have spent time watching our teams play against each other this weekend. The San Diego Padres won 2 games and the Boston Red Sox won 1 game. We are hoping to watch our teams again in the World Series. Yet it might be a pipe dream.
Elise sent in a book review of Green Pastures by Patricia Johns. The novel is about three sisters who are living in a tight Amish community where everyone has an opinion and shares it. The interview this week is with Dana Mentink and her newest novel Fire Mountain. The novel sounds like a true adventure/thriller/romance novel that will keep you right on the edge of your seat.
Please take the time to read. If you wish to make a donation to the American Cancer Society and the Read Everyday in August please get in contact with me and I will help make that happen. (https://www.facebook.com/AmericanCancerSociety).
