It could be worse. Some nearby areas have ice and sleet. The shore is just getting rain. At least I have a good stash of books.
Hounds of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle tops my list today. Coffee and a book are a great way to take a break while cleaning the kitchen. I love mysteries; it seems appropriate that I read one of the original detective series. I am amazed at Holmes obvious deductions that are so easily overlooked by the average onlooker. Sometimes I get so caught up in looking for the obvious that I miss the story and must go back and reread.
In addition to my "book" I am listening to The Deerslayer by James Fenimore Cooper. This is good company during the actual cleaning. Both are classics that I have been meaning to tackle so life is good.
Now for another cup of coffee....
I've been reading quite a few new takes on Sherlock Holmes lately. I like Laurie R. King's series especially. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThey are on my list too. Have you watched "Elementary" the tv show?
