The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie:
A Flavia de Luce Novel
by Alan Bradley
This is one I picked up from the library a couple of days ago. It's the first in this mystery series, and I put it on reserve after seeing the series in Juhli's post about her book store wish list recently. It is a hoot. A mystery whose main character and sleuth is a precocious eleven years old who is a chemistry whiz.
I'm scheduling this post on Friday night (for posting on Wednesday) and I'm only about 1/4 of the way into it. I'm not sure if I will have much time to read while I'm away at the quilt retreat, so finishing it is up in the air at this point.
Since I cancelled my Audible subscription after the first month (and my garage clean out), the company has been emailing me 'special' deals. Today (Friday 11/1) they sent one I was totally on board with.
In case there is election talk at the retreat that I want to tune out, I have charged my ear buds and downloaded this Audible book:
Libby Lost and Found by Stephanie Booth
I believe it is about a megastar author who is behind getting her next book finished, and is hiding the fact that she is starting to suffer the onset of dementia. She enlists the help of a superfan of her previous work to keep her on point with past story details.
Quilting by hand is something that doesn't take a lot of concentration for the most part, so there is nothing I love more than being read to while I do it!
Those are my books for this week. I'm not sure how much time I will have to spend with either of them until I get home, but surely some, even if it's only in the car. The Audible way...I don't read while I'm driving! :)
