Hunger Games DVD came out today!! Let me say that again: HUNGER GAMES DVD CAME OUT TODAY!! I had ordered it from Amazon but it won't be here until Monday. Steve is going to go pick it up from Target or somewhere so we can watch it tonight. He will probably also pick up some Taco Johns for dinner since it is right next door.
I'm just starting A PLACE OF CONFINEMENT by Anna Dean. This is 4th of four in series featuring Miss Dido Kent, a 35-year-old amateur sleuth, starting in 1805 Regency England. Here is a description:
Dido Kent's sister-in-law Margaret is attempting to marry her off to the ghastly clergyman Doctor Prowdlee, with his abominable side-whiskers. Dido, however, is determined to refuse him. As punishment she is sent on a journey as companion to her rich, hypochondriac Aunt Manners - whom the family wants to keep on the right side of. When they arrive at Charcombe Manor, Aunt Manners' childhood home, they find a mystery lying in wait for them. The rich heiress Letitia Verney has disappeared while visiting the house, and Mr Tom Lomax is suspected of abducting her. Dido, upon hearing his story, is inclined to believe in his innocence - but how is she to explain the impossibility of Miss Verney vanishing into thin air? And there is also the abandoned wing of Charcombe Manor to be considered. Why do lights appear there at night? The house is full of enigmas, with its memories of old family quarrels and its crying ghost that keeps visitors awake. As the mystery intensifies, Miss Dido Kent embarks on her most intriguing investigation yet ...
It was published in August 2012 (UK) and has 416 pages. I love this series and it's been two years since her last book.
Today hasn't gone so well with dogsitting Hailey. At one point she and Ryker got into a fight, physical and growling and I had to separate them. I put Hailey outside and kept the boys inside until this afternoon and for right now, peace is in the house.
So .... won't be doing anything else except watching The Hunger Games tonight. Ok ... coming clean and confessing ... the Amazon purchase of the DVD came with the digital version so I already watched it this morning. :) I will willingly do it again.
Much love,
PK the Bookeemonster
