The Setup by T.B. Markinson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
What have I said about mysteries and romances? Travel. In this romance, I got to go to London. Through the main character, Rory, I got to take a job in London and meet with an old friend who sets her up with a new friend.
This was another Kindle Unlimited, so it was a free, sort of, read. I read it in one night. Yes, that was with text-to-speech.
I found the main character okay. I like her new friend, Imogen, boring, but Rory loved her, so that’s not for me to care. I was in London.
Anything more gets into spoilers, and the book is too short for that. It was fun. Give it a try.
The Searcher by Tana French
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
What do romances and mysteries have in common? Bodies. But the other thing is to travel deep into another area where I am not. This book is an exception because we have no idea if there is a body or notโjust a missing person. Still, we got to go to Ireland for this one. And we see it from an American’s point of view.
I am happy that it wasn’t a murder mystery. I find those kinds of mysteries boring and morally deficient. Can’t we find something that is suspenseful without it being murder? I find missing my favorite pen a good mystery. Maybe the freezer? It could happen!
Anyway, I found this book refreshing in a lot of ways. Though it didn’t come up to my reading goal of a female author, featuring a female main character (who was male). Still, I found the main character interesting, especially when he made friends with the brat who was throwing stuff at him.
Is it because of reading with text-to-speech? I found I couldn’t stay with the story. I found myself bored. But then the brat would do something, and I was back to caring for the outcome.
Maybe you will love this more than I. Still, it isn’t the worst. A beach read or waiting room occupation?
Butter the top. Butter the bottom. Put the meat in the middle. Best way to deal with a delicate issue with a friend or foe.
It is hard advice to follow when in the middle of conflict. But taking the time to think thus may help both parties find a peaceful solution.
Meanwhile, butter in coffee? I like butter. I love black coffee. But … okay, I’ll look up the recipe and let you know when I’ve tried it.
Popcorn is best with butter.
(Can anyone tell I’m trying to get healthy?)
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is โbutter.โ Use it as a noun, use it as a verb, use it any way youโd like. Have fun!
Yesterday I was so tired I barely knitted. Sure, I’m not the battery rabbit, but my hands and brain usually won’t stop.
Today was better, but it still feels blah and force to get anything done.
So I am using why? Is it the diet?
Hey, Keto friends, did you go through times of tiredness? How about times of oily face and hair? Why are my limbs still dry and flaky?
Sure, it could be the times I get up with the dog all night. The lack of continuous sleep?
I realize I am still learning how to make the Keto with mostly vegetarian going on is hard to do. But I do enjoy the salmon and spinach salad with cheese. I am increasing salads and olive oil, and salmon. I’m decreasing, well, eliminated bread but decreasing other carbs. I’m trying not to be too strict and just trying to make it healthier and healthier. I am still doing the 16/8 fast/eat. That part is quite easy. I keep trying to force the fast time longer just to see how long I can go without getting jittery, which so far I do just fine that way.
Why is my brain mushy? Yet, I must say on the days when I have salmon, it seems better–or am I just fooling myself?
Just…
Do you ever feel like this? A most unproductive day. Much nap, little knit. Maybe a good night’s sleep and I’ll be back to normal.
Hope your day had more fun and energy. ๐ค๐
Chatting with my daughter, Zooming with my friend, and finishing the pair of socks make a perfect Wednesday.
One-liner Wednesday is a fun prompt by Linda G. Hill.
I had hoped that I’d have a whole pair. But only one is finished. I hate leaving a loom empty with leftover sock stitch markers. So on the upper left, the next toe of an opposite color combo of the ones nearly finished. Middle is the finished product. Right the sock still needing a few more rows.
I’m nearly finished with this pair. Because I didn’t have enough of any yarn, I subbed heel and cuff with the green yarn of same type yarn. I’ll probably keep them for me.
I think I’ll make a smaller pair with the green.
I finally finished the socks. I’m so sad that the colors don’t look the same even though they are the same yarn. But at least they are the same size.
While knitting, I enjoyed these two films among other programs.
I’ve always been a fan of the Dianna Ross version in Lady Sings the Blues. I was excited to see this one with her son on another side of the great Billy’s life,
Then I was walking through the bedroom, and my husband had on the TV there. I saw Craig Ferguson on and knew I had to watch this:
What a sweet movie with humor and Scotland! I highly recommend this one.
Happy Sunday, everyone! And
