Had another CT scan today. I get them every three months, but they just seem to come closer and closer together. And while the experience is never totally good, it’s not all that bad, either. Except for today. First, the tech didn’t swab my arm for the IV (I thought they always did that!). And when he poked me, it hurt. A lot. I’m usually not such a wimp, but I cried out. Then after the scan, he removed the IV and wrapped my arm up. But apparently not tight enough. By the time I walked to my car, my arm was bleeding and getting on my jacket!
Needless to say, I didn’t feel like doing much of anything once I got home. Well, except read. And I did.
Here’s what I read since my last update:
Book 30

Blurb from Book: A year ago, archaeologist Leslie MacIntyre barely survived an explosion that took the life of her fiancé, Matt Connolly. Since then, she’s slowly come to terms with both her loss and an unsettling ability to communicate with ghosts, a “gift” received in the wake of her brush with death.
Now she’s returned to lower Manhattan, site of the explosion, to investigate a newly discovered burial ground. In this place restless spirits hold the secrets not only of past injustice but of a deadly conspiracy against the city’s women—including Leslie herself.
By night Matt visits her in dreams, warning her and offering clues to the truth. By day she finds herself helped by—and attracted to—his flesh-and-blood cousin Joe. Torn by her feelings for both men, caught between the worlds of the living and the dead, Leslie struggles against the encroaching danger: As she is drawn closer to the darkness she must ultimately face the power of an evil mind, alone in a place where not even the men she loves can save her.
My thoughts: Lots of ghosts in this one. I liked it. The ending took me totally by surprise, though. Still don’t know how I feel about that.
I’m almost finished with season 2 of Deep Space Nine. Zipping through them, while I crochet, of course. I’m working on a shawl. One that I may keep for myself. It’s turning out so pretty!
Happy Reading!
