What are you reading/listening to

I've started Deanna Raybourn's Lady Jane Grey series of romantic mysteries.
Set in Victorian England, the plot is good, the cast of characters
delightfully odd and what more can you ask for.

I also have the latest Sarah Jane Addison to break up the series.

I'm hoping to garden today - at least as much as I am hoping to read and
stitch. But we will see about the garden part, I had a rock slide off the
retaining wall near my spigot and I now have a very purple toe.

Currently reading The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest,
savoring it as it's the last. I've got another Christopher
Fowler's Peculiar Crimes Unit waiting in the wings.

After pruning the pyracantha back from the house where
last winter's snows pushed it (had a cardinal nest in it so
had to wait on that) and cleaning ivy out from under the
holly bushes I think I'll take today off from gardening.

Working around holly is hard enough, but adding ivy - you deserve the day
off

Happily reading Breakup, the 6th Dana Stabenow Kate Shugak book.
Recommended here and new to me. Waiting in the wings is Girl Who Played
With Fire and a bunch of others.

So far the recommendations from this group have been almost all fabulous.
Keep them coming.

I'm on a non-fiction kick as I just finished Dr. Frost's "Stuff." I am
happy to report I am not a hoarder. LOL

And I'm working my way through all the Malcolm Gladwell books. I'm
reading "Blink" now.

Thanks, the next chore outside is to trim the ivy growing into the
grass,
a never ending job. After that, clear out the ivy under the
pyracantha......
that will be fun!!! I jut love all these prickly plants DF planted.

Now to get to the book and maybe some stitching.

Two weeks ago I read all three of Stieg Larsson's books (yes, all three in
one week! I just couldn't put them down) "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo",
"The Girl Who Played With Fire", and "The Girl Who Kicked the
Hornet's Nest". He only wrote these three books before he died, but, they
are fantastic. He was Swedish, so the novels are set in Stockholm. They're
mysteries and are so good!

You know, you are the worst enabler I know some days. I'm thinking hard
about not reading "Stuff" but I should and I'll see what the library has for
Gladwell.

As if you didn't make me want to run out and buy all the "Stitches for
Effect" series already.

I knew how much work ivy was, so I've never been tempted to plant any.
Though, if it's in the grass, just mow it. That should discourage it.

I finished this one last week and am waiting for the 2nd one to come
back to the library. In the meantime, I read Janet Spaeth's
"Remembrance", set in 1886 in northern MN. She writes religious-based
romances. I'll probably read her "Kind hearted woman" next.

Other than that, I removed all the wire on the pasture fence in
preparation for redoing the fence before DD's horse comes home for the
winter. In 90 degree weather. No, she couldn't help because she's 70
miles away. DH & I need to reset some of the posts before any further
work is done on it.
