Put your feet up like you just don't care

TGIF. OMG.

I just started reading A SECOND CHANCE by Jodi Taylor. 3rd of 9 in The Chronicles of St. Mary's series.

Behind the seemingly innocuous facade of St. Mary’s Institute of Historical Research, a different kind of academic work is taking place. Just don’t call it “time travel”—these historians “investigate major historical events in contemporary time. The action jumps from an encounter with a mirror-stealing Isaac Newton to the bloody battlefield at Agincourt. Discover how a simple fact-finding assignment to witness the ancient and murderous cheese- rolling ceremony in Gloucester can result in CBC - concussion by cheese. The long awaited jump to Bronze Age Troy ends in personal catastrophe for Max and just when it seems things couldn't get any worse - it's back to the Cretaceous Period again to confront an old enemy who has nothing to lose. So, make the tea, grab the chocolate biscuits, settle back and discover exactly why the entire history department has painted itself blue ...

Published 2016; 348 pages.

I also have a lot of research to do for the book. It is set in the future, science fiction but it is also an analogy of historical events.

Tomorrow evening I have music night.

Tonight we'll watch Live PD. Maybe I'll catch the Cormoran Strike series on Cinemax, technically they're calling it episode 4. It's the first of the second book, THE SILKWORM by Robert Galbraith, a.k.a. JK Rowling of Harry Potter fame.

When novelist Owen Quine goes missing, his wife calls in private detective Cormoran Strike. At first, Mrs. Quine just thinks her husband has gone off by himself for a few days-as he has done before-and she wants Strike to find him and bring him home. But as Strike investigates, it becomes clear that there is more to Quine's disappearance than his wife realizes. The novelist has just completed a manuscript. If the novel were to be published, it would ruin lives-meaning that there are a lot of people who might want him silenced.

Otherwise, the usual napping, cleaning, reading, Internet-ing, etc. SO glad this week is over.


Have a good weekend

Much love,
