Death in the Arctic
#HaikuADay #HaikuHive
Today‘s haiku is inspired by taking time from errands & crowds (Ack, people!! 😱) to sip on a holiday latte & read a little at the Barnes & Noble Cafe. The tagged book is the $5 December special. I think it will be fun to read next month. (Yes, may have purchased a couple of magazines & a blanket too…)🤷🏻♀️
Stop, Drop & Read

pickThis is my third novel by Young this year. She is now amongst my auto buy authors. She gets the atmosphere just right. Her stories are set in worlds I want to live in, small close knit towns. Nature is an integral charcter.
Yesterday, I went to @barnesandnoble. The Christmas things are out and I picked up this ornament and tree topper. Since my move and having a very small apartment, my Christmas things will stay with my sons so this will be my Christmas tree this year.
I also picked up the five dollar cafe book.

Finally got around to the first in this series (having picked up the second as the best of a very small selection at the Bali airport a few years ago).
For anyone unaware, the Club is a quartet of octogenarians living in a retirement village in England reviewing unsolved murder cases. When a number of murders occur in and around the village, they decide to investigate. Quite fun and will probably continue at some point.
pickFinished this book today!! Now I can watch the Netflix movie!!🍿
pickThis was a perfect gothic story for the October season. It weaves together elements of Jack the Ripper, Mary Reilly (movie), Jane Eyre, and Frankenstein. It was such a good story; I flew through the whole book in one day. I wished it was longer.

pickWhat a fun book!
This is not your traditional murder mystery book since it‘s not written in a novel format. Instead, you are given all the pieces to solve the mystery yourself. These included pictures, interview transcripts, notes, maps, newspaper articles, etc.

pickThis is a predictable but entertaining thriller that leaves a path into book 2 at the end. I‘m curious enough that I‘ll be reading that one as well. Oddly enough, this was more about getting to know the two main characters than it was about plot. But I was ok with that.
