Only five down. I did take advantage of having to spend some time sprawled out on the bed with a heating pad on my back. Great position in which to READ. My New Year's resolution? Remember? A book a week for the whole year? I thought I was waaaaaay behind. Turns out I'm only five down. We're starting week 30, and I've read 25 books so far this year. That's actually probably a record for me, at least in adulthood. I probably read three books a week as a kid, and I know people who probably read three books a day now. But 25 books in 30 weeks is pretty darn good for me. AND, with the kids going back to school this week and the WGH on vacation starting Friday, I'm thinking I might actually get caught up on that resolution. Lord knows my TBR pile could use a little bulldozing. You don't even want to know.
My first "real" review. My first review for Reviewing the Evidence is up, and you can read it here. Not bad, if I say so myself. One of my fellow BMWs said my review was so vivid she probably won't read the book (she doesn't do dark). Toot, toot! (That's my own horn, there.)
Reviews for With No One As Witness and The PMS Murder for RTE will be going to our editor in the next day or two. I'll post the links when they're up.
For now, I'm making my G.M.S.T. list for the week. I'm kinda looking forward to having my act together again.
Read a book. It's good for you.

Hey there,
I'm off on vacation and came here to see what you're up to. No blogs this week??? I miss your insights!
J.B.
I've missed reading your blog lately and made a point of checking in today.
Followed the link to your review--what an excellent piece. Descriptive, clearly stated opinions with cogent reasoning...one of the better reviews I've read in a long time.
Hope your back heals quickly.
