MERRY CHRISTMAS!


I've started on the second novel in the Inspector Shan series, Water Touching Stone. The author, Eliot Pattison, is an international lawyer and author about international trade which plays an important part in these mysteries. I expect to read the entire series as I am really enjoying learning how it must feel to be in Tibet. Still having a little trouble keeping up with all the Chinese names and different bureaus of government. It's complicated.

I did read the second short story in Get In Trouble by Kelly Link. This one was about an actor famous for his role as a sexy vampire. Creepy fun. I hadn't realized this book was a 2016 Pulitzer Prize finalist for fiction. I'm sure enjoying reading it.

My sister sent me the 2017 Farmers Almanac. I've never read one before but I randomly opened it to a page about beer so I took that as a good sign that I should give it some of my time and attention.
Did Santa bring you any books?

Wishing you all a lovely, peaceful day.
