I'm finishing up a reread of Jim Butcher's "Harry Dresden" series, but have no idea what I'll move on to next. I recently read one of Yasmine Galenorn's "Chintz & China" cozies - it was cute, short, and fun - so I may pick up another one or two of those. Not sure yet. OH, and the new Victoria Laurie "Phsychic Eye" mystery should be out this week!

Yep. Should be a new "between" book coming out in January, though.

In the house we bought this summer, we discovered several old cook books from the 50's and 60's that fell behind a cupboard.
It has been fun reading them as so many things are not prepared like this today, the money saving 'tips' are long lost common sense, and they create full balanced meals on a tight budget.
The narrative is the best though! Advice on how to please you family, amaze your guests, how to stretch the meal when your beloved husband brings the boss home with him and forgot to tell you, and how to give 'your man' and task to do so he is 'out of your way, and yet can feel he contributed, and feel good about himself!'!
They are just a riot to read!!!

OK, so who's going to rub my feet after I have gotten the kids ready for school, taken them to school, worked all day, did the shopping, helped the kids with homework, cooked supper and cleaned up the dishes, done the laundry, bathed the kids, read them a story and gotten them to bed, paid the bills....

My Grandmother always made jello molds with fruit in them. I can't even look at Jello today!
Reading "The Quiet Game" by Greg Iles. Picked it up in the Bank's lending library. Pretty good so far.

I haven't read any of the Stephanie Plum books yet but I see that they are loved by many. I am going to have to check them out now that I have my Kindle.
So many books, so little time!
