That was the last long weekend until end of May

 

 Tuesday. Short week.

 

I had a good weekend. Bead group at the coffee shop on Saturday was just three of us but I worked on my Reading journal so I got some stuff done.

 

New Years was fine. Ryker slept through the fireworks. We watched three episodes of Jack Ryan. Pleasantly relaxing.

 Now that we're in 2023, I started by Twenty-three in 2023 books. The first up is ASSASSIN'S APPRENTICE by Robin Hobb. 1st in Farseer trilogy. Fantasy

Young Fitz is the bastard son of the noble Prince Chivalry, raised in the shadow of the royal court by his father’s gruff stableman. He is treated as an outcast by all the royalty except the devious King Shrewd, who has him secretly tutored in the arts of the assassin. For in Fitz’s blood runs the magic Skill—and the darker knowledge of a child raised with the stable hounds and rejected by his family. As barbarous raiders ravage the coasts, Fitz is growing to manhood. Soon he will face his first dangerous, soul-shattering mission. And though some regard him as a threat to the throne, he may just be the key to the survival of the kingdom.

Published 1995; 464 pages. I'm loving it.

 Steve's got a board meeting tonight. I'm going to read.

 Have a good day

 Much love,
