I had some things that had to get done yesterday (doctor and groceries) and wound up overdoing it so no post yesterday. I'm taking it extremely easy today though I have to go out this afternoon to refill my prescription from Saturday night's pharmacy screw up. Must conserve the energy today.
In the past couple days I've finished reading BLACK HILLS by Nora Roberts and MISSING MARK by Julie Kramer. The Roberts, though I enjoy her writing, seemed to be not one of her better efforts. This was so simplified as to be made for the Lifetime Movie it is destined to be. Better choices for her writing this year are the JD Robb or the wedding books she's doing. MISSING MARK was second of two in series featuring Riley Spartz, an investigative TV reporter, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Interesting behind the scenes dirt and cutthroat activities of tv news but the author showed off her research too much in other areas with way too many factoids. The ending was a strange sort of telling not showing the action, difficult to explain the disconnect.
So I'm now auditioning for the next read. It may be the next Bernard Knight, Kerry Greenwood, I should start the Tremayne ...
Tonight I'm having dinner at Jody's and a girl-get-together from YAM: Sara and Barb. Should be way fun.
Much love,
PK the Bookeemonster
