I Took A Day Off

Almost took tonight off too. I have fallen into an old habit — mass mar­ket mys­tery nov­els. Read one yes­ter­day and I’m knee deep into num­ber 2 today. I have my mother-in-law to thank for this, she also reads the same sort of crap and came back from the library with a stack of about a half dozen of ‘em. Yesterday’s book was P is for Peril, as Sue Grafton works her way through the alpha­bet. Today I am read­ing Straw­berry Sun­day: A John Mar­shall Tan­ner Novel and tomor­row if all goes as planned I will be knee deep in Janet Evanovich’s Hard Eight, while Stephanie Plum is not a PI like the other two pro­tag­o­nists, she is a bounty hunter who gets thrust into a whole mys­tery solv­ing thing. My favorite of this genre are Robert B. Parker’s Spencer nov­els. Man I wish I was half as tough and half quick with the snappy answers as Spencer is.
