Cleverly, Barbara  THE DAMASCENED BLADE
Fitzgerald, Penelope  THE BOOK SHOP

And nine nonfiction books, mostly American Revolution history, and seven VHS videos including The Sound of Music, Singing in the Rain, Godspell, Titanic and I can't remember the others. Some of the books I picked up here are ones I've already read probably through the library itself and I'm just adding to my permanent historical mysery collection. The Eddings and Kurtz are series that I used to own (read them decades ago) but must have gotten rid of some time in the past (stupid, stupid) because I can't find them now. I only have two or three (not listed here) that I already owned so need to get rid of the duplicates. This sale was unusual for me in that there were a lot of historical mysteries withdrawn from the stacks this time around therefore I found much treasure. I'm not always that lucky. And it was the first table as one walked into the sale so I had filled up my first bag very quickly.

Steve is coaching at the shooting class today; he was up and out of here around 8:30. I've not accomplished a whole lot today beyond the usual chores. I've been playing on the Internet and I suppose it's okay every once in a while to just recover and relax from a yucky work week.

Nothing really on TV tonight so don't know what we'll watch, maybe hockey playoffs. I'm not sure what to have for dinner but I'm ready to do taco salad if Steve doesn't bring something home from out.

The dogs were raring to go for their walk at 6 this morning but I put them off until 7. It was a lovely dark and drizzly day only made less perfect by our neighbors in the street north of us who run a business out of their home doing industrial, loud work. I saw Steve off and then went back to bed, not wanting to waste such lovely cool darkness.

While playing here on the Net I discovered that a second book in a histmyst series I really enjoyed finally came out so I snatched that baby up. It is for Kindle only; the author is Lucinda Brant. The first, which I have on the Kindle, is called DEADLY ENGAGEMENT. This new one is DEADLY AFFAIR and I am just jacked to have it to read. I need to quickly finish the Todd book and move on. I have SO FREAKING MUCH to read right now it's ridiculous.

Ok, off you go.

Much love,
