My Current Interest

             I should have been working.   There was definitely work for me to do.   Yet, all I wanted to do was read.   So, that is what I did.                 Life is going well for Lily Ivory .   Her vintage clothing business is successful.   The relationship she has with her boyfriend, Sailor, is going well.   And her witch’s familiar, Oscar, has returned home.   All these good things happening is why Lily is not exactly pleased when her friend, Inspector Carlos Romero, asks for her help.   He says he only wants Lily to look into the activity occurring at a local store, but you know that once Lily is involved, she cannot leave a situation alone at that.                 It’s a curandera shop that Inspector Romero wants Lily to look into.   What...

              Victoria and Albert.   Where would their marriage be if it weren’t for Ernst?   I don’t know how many times this man has come to the rescue during times of strife in their marriage.   He does this, all while struggling with a love of his own.                 Queen Victoria (Jenna Coleman) has just had her first child, a child everyone demanded she have, especially if it had been a boy.   Which it wasn't.  You would think people would be happy now and let Victoria rule as she deems fit.   That is not at all the case.   While Victoria is perfectly ready to go back to work, everyone arounds her expects Victoria to stay away.   They believe she should take more time to recover from her pregnancy and spend time in the nursery.   In fact, if Victoria were to do that for the rest of her life, the men around her would ...

          There are times where it feels really good to go back to a familiar series.   You don’t have to learn much about the past lives of the characters, because you already know it from reading the previous books.   Instead, you can concentrate on what is going on right now in the current story and enjoy what is happening in front of you.   When I started Faux Paw , I found it so nice to curl up with characters I knew.   That familiarity is probably why I read this book as fast as I did.                                   Librarian Kathleen Paulson has not exactly found things to be easy at the library lately.   The library itself is fine.   It’s the art exhibit that’s being set up in the library that is the problem.   The curator of the exhibit, Margo Walsh, keeps...

          It’s about every four years that I actually pay attention to soccer (or football, depending on what part of the would you are from).   That’s because every four years the FIFA World Cup is being played.   The other years I watch a game here and there, but it’s the World Cup that I pay attention to.   Not that I actually understand what’s going on most of the time, but I still like to watch.                        Pretty much the main thing I understand is that when the ball goes over the goal line a goal is scored.   Most of the time.   There are occasions where the goal does not count, such as when a player is offsides.   What that means exactly, I don’t know.   Every time I think I understand what offsides means, it turns out I don’t.   I’ve had it explained to me in terms of hockey, as well.  ...
