Reading Update, Babies, and Cicadas

Haven’t seen any baby ducks around the pond, but we’ve seen baby geese! This picture shows momma and daddy, but only 3 of the four babies.

Soon we'll see the cicadas, but I’m not looking forward to that. I remember them in 2004. Didn’t like them then, won’t like them now.

Here’s what I read since my last update:

Blurb from book: Mac Argeneau knows all too well: immortals can be killed. Not with holy water or silver crosses, but by decapitation or being set on fire. So when Mac’s new house bursts into flames—nearly incinerating him inside—he’s sure it was no accident. But who would want to kill a scientist specializing in hematology? There is a silver lining: a blonde investigator appears on the scene and sparks feelings in him that have been dormant for centuries.
    CJ Cummings is in town on a special investigation, but she’s been waylaid by the local police to deal with this arson case. The biggest mystery is how this strapping scientist with silvery blue eyes has emerged from a blazing inferno without a burn mark on him. He’s clearly hiding something. Sure, she’d love to see him without his lab coat, but she’s got a job to do—despite his insistence that he needs a bodyguard and…he wants her.
    But when a second attempt on their lives put CJ in harm’s way, it’s Mac who will do anything to safeguard the woman who’s destined to be his life mate.
My thoughts: Breezed through this one. I love this series.

So… Are you expecting the cicadas in your part of the world? I really hope they don’t bother our house. We only have the one tree, and it’s only 3 years old and not in all that good of shape as it is. I also don’t think the lots around here had trees 17 years ago, so hopefully they don’t crawl out of the ground here. Lots of trees behind the houses across the street, so hopefully those bugs all stay over there!

Happy Reading!

We have cicadas every single year. Loud but kinda neat to hear them every fall.

Alex - Cicadas come out every year here, too, but not this many! And I never see the yearly ones. Can't miss the 17-year ones!

We have cicadas out now, but they're not too close to the house, so not bothersome. I don't remember the 2004 emergence, but 1987's was crazy loud! Hopefully yours will be no big deal too.

Jennette - No sign of the bugs yet. Still keeping my fingers crossed!
