Monday
It was a rather good weekend.
I went to the psychic fair where two friends had tables. I got readings from both that were very good. I picked up a wire-wrapped stone pendant from another vendor. Then I went to Best Buy to get a webcam and light for a future project. Then I needed some coffee so I went to Barnes and Noble and got a couple more books. Then I went to the memorial for a friend's daughter and that was very nice and seemed to be well attended. On Sunday I went back to Best Buy to figure out why the webcam wasn't working and they got things going.
Regarding the #Read1000Pages Challenge. I completed 1000 pages on Friday night. One day ahead of schedule.
Currently reading STATION ETERNITY by Mur Lafferty. 1st of 2 in Midsolar Murders series.
From idyllic small towns to claustrophobic urban landscapes, Mallory Viridian is constantly embroiled in murder cases that only she has the insight to solve. But outside of a classic mystery novel, being surrounded by death doesn’t make you a charming amateur detective, it makes you a suspect and a social pariah. So when Mallory gets the opportunity to take refuge on a sentient space station, she thinks she has the solution. Surely the murders will stop if her only company is alien beings. At first her new existence is peacefully quiet…and markedly devoid of homicide. But when the station agrees to allow additional human guests, Mallory knows the break from her peculiar reality is over. After the first Earth shuttle arrives, and aliens and humans alike begin to die, the station is thrown into peril. Stuck smack-dab in the middle of an extraterrestrial whodunit, and wondering how in the world this keeps happening to her anyway, Mallory has to solve the crime—and fast—or the list of victims could grow to include everyone on board….

I will also be starting (maybe) FOUR THOUSAND DAYS by M J Trow. 1st of 2 in series featuring Margaret Murray, the real-life British archeologist, beginning in 1900 London.
October, 1900. University College, London. When the spreadeagled body of one of her students is discovered in her rented room shortly after attending one of her lectures, Dr Margaret Murray is disinclined to accept the official verdict of suicide and determines to find out how and why the girl really died. As an archaeologist, Dr Murray is used to examining ancient remains, but she's never before had to investigate the circumstances surrounding a newly-dead corpse. However, of one thing Margaret is certain: if you want to know how and why a person died, you need to understand how they lived. And it soon becomes clear that the dead girl had been keeping a number of secrets. As Margaret uncovers evidence that Helen Richardson had knowledge of a truly extraordinary archaeological find, the body of a second young woman is discovered on a windswept Kent beach - and the case takes a disturbing new twist ...
