Finished. The puzzle is from Lawrence King and the title is The World of the Harlem Renaissance. Loved every bit of time spent working on it. Of course, a couple of hours later, I realized I needed another puzzle, so I ordered one that was on sale and that could be delivered today. I am not kidding when I say that I HAVE to have a puzzle in the works. They keep me calm when my mind is full of worry or fear – and let’s face it, for most of us, that’s a lot of the time. Last year and the year before, it was a wintertime thing. Now, it’s an all-the-time thing.
I tried to take photos of the dollhouse interiors/Christmas trees yesterday but it was so dark outside and inside that the photos were depressing, which is not what we want at Christmas time, is it? I’ll try again today. It will be partly cloudy but it’s much lighter outside. If not today, tomorrow.
I’m almost finished with Slough House, part of Mick Herron’s brilliant series about British Spies – Slough House being the place where spies who have screwed up are sent. This is one of the best series I have ever read. Herron writes beautifully and the books are a wonderful combination of humor, irony, and can’t-put-it-down action. I’ve read, I believe, seven of them and there’s one more that was published this year. It’s still in hardcover. I am a big, big fan.
The library informed me that my copy of the new Anthony Horowitz, The Twist of a Knife, has come in, so I’ll head on over there today to pick it up.
So happy to hear that Brittney Griner has been released by Russia and is on her way home. Prayers that Paul Whelan is eventually allowed to come home, as well.
Stay safe.
Happy Thursday.
