A reader's work...
10:35 AM
is never done. Thank goodness! I'm glad Peter and Bee enjoy reading as much as I do; we are not sure yet if Jasper reads or not. He's still a bit standoffish about sitting in the living room with us - I guess it will be a while before he finds a spot on the ottoman.
I just finished two great books - a new series by Victoria Abbott. The Christie Curse is the first in the new Book Collectors' series about a researcher trying to earn grad school tuition named Jordan Kelly. Set in a small town in New York, Jordan takes a job with the most hated woman in town; her first assignment is to track down a "lost" Agatha Christie play. The characters are quirky and the story is fast-paced. Jordan's uncles, who operate somewhat outside the law, are a hoot. Our heroine returns in The Sayers Swindle, in which she tracks down some missing Dorothy Sayers first editions.
We can't wait for the next book in the series: The Wolfe Widow!
Since I'm a big Nero Wolfe / Rex Stout fan, I'm excited about this one!

I'm about to take my glass of iced tea and my book and head for the guest room here in Quadville! Would you believe I am reading an old Reader's Digest Condensed book? The story I'm reading now in it seems vaguely familiar.......
