Short weeks are long

 Wednesday.


 I got some library holds come available so some reads are going to have jump the queue. 

 Currently reading DEADLY SUMMER NIGHTS by Vicki Delaney. 1st of 3 in series featuring Elizabeth Grady and her mother, running Haggerman's Catskills Resort, in 1950s New York.


It's the summer of 1953, and Elizabeth Grady is settling into Haggerman's Catskills Resort. As a vacation getaway, Haggerman's is ideal, and although Elizabeth's ostentatious but well-meaning mother is new to running the resort, Elizabeth is eager to help her organize the guests and the entertainment acts. But Elizabeth will have to resort to untested abilities if she wants to save her mother's business. When a reclusive guest is found dead in a lake on the grounds, and a copy of The Communist Manifesto is found in his cabin, the local police chief is convinced that the man was a Russian spy. But Elizabeth isn't so sure, and with the fate of the resort hanging in the balance, she'll need to dodge red herrings, withstand the Red Scare, and catch a killer red-handed.

Published 2021; 304 pages. Very atmospheric - picture Dirty Dancing or The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season two. This will count for scavenger hunt next weekend, the prompt is "summer". 

These came in today:

 And I already had a couple others. The nice thing is to try them without buying them.

 I started the second block for the afghan last night. I started four times. One of the times looked pretty good but I don't think I'm getting the right count across somehow. I may try again tonight but I really need to focus on reading, right?


 Steve's got the gun range this evening.

 

Have a good day

Much love,
