This & That
I hope you all had a lovely weekend. Mine was quite good as I went to yoga classes, spent time with my mom and finished a book. Love it when I spend a whole afternoon just reading.
Now to announce the winner of Alice Bliss…. Thanks to Random.org, the winner is Katherine A. I hope you’ll enjoy the book! Stay tuned for another giveaway I’ll be having at the end of the week.
Also, thank you to all of you who left me comments on my previous post regarding my bookish pet peeve. I really enjoyed hearing from those of you who’ve worked in libraries and could give me some background on all those tags and all. So of course I was complaining that I couldn’t see the maps but when I was looking at Deborah Crombie’s web site to see which book is next in her series guess what I found? She has a whole section dedicated to the maps that are in her books! Check it out – it’s quite nice.
What book did I finish? Where Memories Lie. I can’t wait to meet up with my book group this week and talk about it. I have a few other books in progress right now but I just got a bunch of new books recently which are really catching my attention but I’ll tell you about those in another post.

“Outside the back window Alice can see the outlines of the garden, some of the furrows visible under the snow, stretching away in long thin rows. She can’t imagine doing the garden without her dad. It’s his thing; she’s always thought of herself as his assistant at best. She can’t imagine doing anything without her dad and she starts to feel like she can’t breathe. And then she looks at him. Just looks at him as he watches th efire with muffin crumbs on his lap.”
