Missouri River #SundaySalon
Happy Sunday! Sunday Salon is hosted by Deb at ReaderBuzz. Check out her post and the links to see what other bloggers have been up to in the last week.
How’s the weather?
After a few hot days, we have another short spell of fall-like weather. I took advantage of a cooler day with a breeze to walk along the Missouri River. Here’s a photo of some debris from the flooding a couple of months ago. The boat in the distance is a dredger. We humans have this thing about rivers — they’re always too high or too low and we want to fix that.
What are you reading?
I finished the audio book of Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros this week, after listening to the first book in the series, Fourth Wing, last month. Goodreads says that I’ll have to wait until next year for the third book in the series and that a fourth has been announced. This is a terrific series for people who don’t mind reading about sex and violence. If your idea of escape is to be immersed in a different world, with dragons and telepathy and other powers, these books will work for you.
I’m nearly done reading The Man in the Brown Suit by Agatha Christie, just in time to review it on Friday for my annual Agatha Christie birthday post.
That means that I’ll be starting two new books this week.
Audio: Mrs. Porter Calling by AJ Pearce– the third in the series that began with Dear Mrs. Bird
Ebook: The Phoenix Crown by Kate Quinn and Janie Chang
What are you watching?
We finally finished watching The Good Wife, so we started watching the spinoff The Good Fight. In between, we took a break to watch Monsieur Spade — Clive Owen played an older Sam Spade (The Maltese Falcon and other stories by Dashiell Hammett) who moved to France after World War II.
What are you doing?
I’m reworking the plot of my novel to improve it ahead of writing my second draft.
How are you this fine Sunday?
