It is fall here in the great white north. The leaves are changing and falling and our crazy Indian Summer (8 days over 80 degrees in October!) is hopefully over. I am ready for cooler temps and cloudy days meant for sitting on the couch and knitting!
In the meantime, my yard demands that the leaves be taken care of and everything else demands something before the snow starts to fly here! So my downtime has only been before I go to sleep…thus reading.
My quest for finding Miss Silver continues. As you might recall the library was a bit slow on getting my book. So I wandered off to Stillwater a couple of Saturdays ago when it was gorgeous and I was tired of working. In one of their nice used book stores I found….
It is one of the later Miss Silver books…”The Alington Inheritance”. I was so excited! I bought it as fast as possible and went home and started to read…
And I will be honest. I did not enjoy it as much as “The Gazebo”. There was a romance between two distant cousins that came out of the blue and was rather random. It reminded me of the Emilie Loring books I read at the public library when I was just beginning to read romance books. …I was never fond of those either. The mystery aspect was ok, but all in all I wasn’t thrilled.
I did, however, finally get my library book! And, having started it….I am hooked again! The reading continues!!
