Good morning, all!

I'm back!

I had a wonderful time out in Seattle and beyond - too short, though. I used to live on Orcas Island, back in 1986-87, and being out that way again really made me miss the wonderful Pacific Northwest.

Anyway, I didn't do any reading while I was vacationing, kept busy with doing stuff like hanging out with my son and his wife, and sightseeing. But since I got back I finished the two books I had on hand in short order; Blood on Snow by Jo Nesbo, and Reykyavik Nights by Arnaldur Indridason - two of my favorite authors.

Ready to pick up at the library are two books I've been really looking forward to; Thin Air by Ann Cleeves (the latest book in her Shetland Island series), and Sweetland by Michael Crummey (set in Newfoundland). The latter book is a shot in the dark - it showed up as a recommendation on GoodReads, sounded interesting, so I though I'd give it a try. If it turns out to be good, I'll certainly post about it.

Gotta run now - my sisters and my dad and I are making our annual Mother's Day visit to our mother's grave at the Fort Snelling National Cemetary - my dad's a WWII veteran, so they both get to share a plot there. It's a two-hour drive from where I'm living now, and I'm running late!

So, let's hear what you all have been reading - I'll be back later this evening!
