I’m so tempted to NOT put up the tree this year. Except I love the tree skirt I made for it last year. And I do want to put up the dated ornaments I got this year. I just don’t want the work in getting the tree into the living room. And then the work it takes to put all the ornaments on it. And then the work to take it all down. Maybe it’s time to stop. But then what do I do with all the dated ornaments? Do I keep buying them hoping I get in the mood to put up the tree in future years? I’ve been getting dated ornaments since our first Christmas as a married couple, in 1979. And we also have dated Steelers ornaments since 2003 (I think). I’m sure I will put up the tree. It’ll just be a slooooow process.
But I really wouldn’t mind NOT
putting up the tree, too. I’ll keep you posted on what I end up doing.
Here’s what I read since my last
update:
Book 29
Title: You Can Die
Year of publication: 2023
Author: Rebecca Zanetti
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Series: Laurel Snow Thrillers #3
# of Pages: 354
Paper or plastic: Trade paperback
How obtained: Purchased from B&N
Blurb from book: Men are dying in the Pacific Northwest, their bodies found near churches, charities, and counseling centers—each with valentine candy hearts shoved down their throats. They’re good men with families and community ties—or so they seem until Laurel Snow and her team begin to investigate. Then the case takes a shockingly personal turn when the father she’s never met, a former pastor, is attacked in exactly the same way.
Now, besides solving the case, Laurel is on the hunt to discover where her father has been. Complicating things is Laurel’s troubled half sister, Abigail, a brilliant sociopath determined to prove that they’ve both inherited their father’s malignant narcissism.
Assisting Laurel is Washington Fish and Wildlife captain Huck Rivers, a dangerous loner whose reliance on gut instinct puts him at odds with Laurel’s coolly analytic approach. But the choice may be moot when the killer hones in on Huck’s own dark secrets—putting him and Laurel squarely in the crosshairs.
Recommend: Yes
My thoughts: It had been a while since I read book 2, so it took me a while to remember some of the characters. This is an enjoyable series with good suspense and light romance (nothing too detailed). I do recommend you read them in order because of Laurel’s and Huck’s relationship with each other. Oh, and Laurel’s and Abigail’s relationship too. In fact, I had forgotten about Abigail until she showed up. Which really makes me question my memory, because Abigail is pretty unforgettable. Oh well…
Are you one of those who LOVES to decorate their house for
the holidays? I wish I knew someone like that (who lived close by). I’d let
them take it over. Because I DO like the way the house looks when it’s
decorated. I just don’t want to do the decorating!
Happy Reading!
