Tuesday
Reading update:
I'm setting aside, once again, the Brust/Bull book. In this case, it's so I can listen to an audiobook this evening with the idea toward possibly starting a crochet project.
Some yarn came yesterday. This is going to be for a cowl for winter instead of a scarf and this will be mine -- to practice on first. This is the color for me and what it's supposed to look like.
If I can do this practice one, I'll do one in teal color for our secretary for Christmas. And if that does happen, a few of the books I'm hoping to get to in October do come in fairly good audio forms.
So I think I'll be listening to KILLERS OF A CERTAIN AGE by Deanna Raybourn. Stand alone (so far).
Older women often feel invisible, but sometimes that's their secret weapon.They've spent their lives as the deadliest assassins in a clandestine international organization, but now that they're sixty years old, four women friends can't just retire - it's kill or be killed. Billie, Mary Alice, Helen, and Natalie have worked for the Museum, an elite network of assassins, for forty years. Now their talents are considered old-school and no one appreciates what they have to offer in an age that relies more on technology than people skills. When the foursome is sent on an all-expenses paid vacation to mark their retirement, they are targeted by one of their own. Only the Board, the top-level members of the Museum, can order the termination of field agents, and the women realize they've been marked for death. Now to get out alive they have to turn against their own organization, relying on experience and each other to get the job done, knowing that working together is the secret to their survival. They're about to teach the Board what it really means to be a woman--and a killer--of a certain age.
Published 2022; 368 pages.10 hours-15 minutes audio. For Spy vs Spy September as well.
I've got live sprints to run tonight.
Have a good day
Much love,
