September 11

Today's Blog/Website of the Day is Mrs. Magoo Reads found at http://www.mrsmagooreads.com/.

I'm currently reading A DUTY TO THE DEAD by Charles Todd. This is the 1st of a new series featuring Bess Crawford, a British army nurse in WWI. Here's a description:

Bess Crawford, a resourceful British army nurse is injured when her ship is sunk in 1916. While convalescing in England, Bess is tormented because she's put off delivering a message from Arthur Graham, a dying soldier under her care for whom she'd developed strong feelings, to his family. Her own brush with death prompts her to travel to Kent and transmit Arthur's cryptic last words to one of his three brothers. Bess becomes further enmeshed in the family's affairs after she learns the obscure message may relate to Graham's half-brother, Peregrine, who was committed to a local asylum for a girl's murder years before. The more Bess seeks to sate her curiosity, the more she suspects that the truth about the murder was suppressed.

This was published in August 2009 and has 336 pages. I'm liking it so far. The opening scene of the ship that she's on that sinks is well done.

I don't really have plans other than laundry and maybe going to the library again to pick up a hold, EVIL AT HEART by Chelsea Cain.

This is a day of remembrance, September 11th. Eight years ago the world changed for Americans. And for a while, we all forgot our differences and came together in shock, grief, and love of country. As much as the current administration is trying to change the focus, this is a day to remember those who were murdered in a terrorist act.

Much love,
