Cyber protocols being followed.
I've once again twisted myself into trying to conform to a reading plan at times devised by other. This is creating a situation where I'm flirting with a slump. We can't have that. So I may drop the Retro-Romance-Readathon. I haven't decided yet about GarbAugust 3.5 for this weekend. The one I'm reading now could inadvertently count for the second scavenger hunt for this month.
I've started MURDER AT ARCHLY MANOR by Sara Rosett. 1st of 8 1920s era historical mystery series.
London, 1923. Olive Belgrave needs a job. Despite her aristocratic upbringing, she’s penniless. Determined to support herself, she jumps at an unconventional job—looking into the background of her cousin's fiancé, Alfred. Alfred burst into the upper crust world of London’s high society, but his answers to questions about his past are decidedly vague. Before Olive can gather more than the basics, a murder occurs at a posh party. Suddenly, every Bright Young Person in attendance is a suspect, and Olive must race to find the culprit because a sly murderer is determined to make sure Olive’s first case is her last.
Published 2018; 256 pages. I was liking it more than a little when I suddenly realized whodunnit is kinda obvious. Ah well. Maybe it's first-book-itis.
Listening to THE RUBY DAGGER by Lynn Morrison & Anne Radcliffe.
I started the baby blanket that isn't going to be a baby blanket anymore because the yarn is so pretty and I wanted to see the stitch for which this yarn was purchased. It would have been so flipping cute to give as a gift. Now this blanket will be mine. But I like this yarn/stitch combo - Caron Simply Soft with the prairie stitch I believe it's called. This may become a staple in my repertoire. But first, I have to finish the wedding bedspread and perhaps the orange spiral.
We received over a foot of snow last week. This week is going to be in the negatives temperatures in the mornings.
No sprints tonight for which I'm glad because I didn't get a lot of sleep last night. Crocheting for the most part until bedtime.
Have a good day
Much love,
PK the Bookeemonster
