#majicmonday Thanks for the tag @Eggs ! This was fun to look up. Venice (5,700 miles) narrowly beat Trondheim, Norway (5,400 miles). Inset photo is looking back at Venice from our boat on the way to Marco Polo Airport.

We have some mighty world travelers on litsy. I can‘t wait to hear from @wanderinglynn @Cuilin @BarbaraBB @julesG @Teresereading

I‘m still inputting all my books I got on my last trip to Arizona. This is the sixth book in the mystery series featuring Commissario Guido Brunetti set in Venice. Slowly getting the 33 books in the series.

Yesterday started out gloomy and then the wind picked up and washed it away. Today is a perfect fall day.

I love Vivaldi‘s Four Seasons and learned he wrote sonnets for each season at a candlelight performance a couple of years ago.

Along with Van Gogh‘s Harvest at La Crau with Montmajour in the Background.

Sunday afternoon coffee & a book. It‘s beautiful on the porch-quite the juxtaposition of summer & autumn. Blue cloudless sky, 81 degrees but no humidity, the leaves on the trees turning.Loving this peaceful time. #beautybreak #75Soft

My bedtime reading companion. Back in Venice with Commissario Guido Brunnetti.

Oooh, after a slow start, I couldn't get enough of this.
I've been down a long rabbit hole on secret religious texts and Venice churches... Excellent read.

My book haul from Bookmans in Phoenix yesterday. This is a first for me. Can you spot the terrible typo in the title of one of these books?

Use spoilers below when you discover it. I‘d love to see who all catches it.

Thanks to these Litsy folks for today‘s prompt:

TODDAY‘S PROMPT: MUSICIAN

Venice, music, wealthy families, secret meetings, and of course love.

THE VIOLINIST OF VENICE is a marvelous, alluring, seductive debut novel with impeccable research that had me wanting to know more about Antonio Vivaldi.  

ENJOY!!!  What about that gorgeous cover?  5/5

I wish there was a rating between a Pick & a So-So. If there was,I would put this book in that category, because it was slow for me to get into.
A friend of Brunetti‘s wife asks his help in determining if her tern son uses drugs.Almost immediately after this request,his father is found unconscious on a bridge that results in a life altering brain injury.Brunetti investigates. Are these crimes connected?The ending result is a surprise for me.
