Aww, Nuts!

October 22 is International Nut Day!

Click here for more nut information: International Nut Day.

"A day to support small nut farmers around the world, educate consumers about the many benefits of nuts, and encourage healthier snacking."

When I searched my library for nut images, here's what was found:

Exactly!

Especially humorous for someone who worked in the automotive fastener business.

Pecan nut on the floor, being used as a cat toy.

The Hubby and I have chopped walnuts with our morning oatmeal, and I personally cannot pass up a chance to snack on cashews.  

We also keep a supply of raw almond butter around.

Over the winter holidays, we manage to score a bag or two of roasted pistachios.

Eastside Cats is a nut patron, and is thankful for them.

Audiobooks that I recommend:

Moonbound, by Robin Sloan

Narrated by Gabra Zackman

Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore Series:

Book #.5: Ajax Penumbra

Book #1: Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore

Book #2: Moonbound

My two-cents: What happens when San Francisco, California, time-travel, hidden knowledge, and stories that just cannot be ignored get shaken, not stirred, then along comes a writer who will tell the tale?  Consider reading the books in order, for the timeline flow.  Oh yeah, there are dragons.

Dive Bar at the End of the Road by Kelley Armstrong

Narrated by Helen Laser, Sean Patrick Hopkins, and Shane Ghostkeeper

My two cents: Whoa, a dark and stormy night, in the woods, where the GPS doesn't work.  She sees a woman in the road, but no, that's a fallen log she hit.  Then a pick-up crashes, and there are two stunned people who need help.  Except the woods are creepy, yet there's a building 'way back...will it provide help?  Yeah, this was a ton of fun, and perfect horror for this time of year.

Let the Dead Sleep by Michael Wood

Narrated by Gemma Whelan

My two cents: Crime reporter Holly's sister was murdered 25 years earlier, and she was trying to forget that past, until her mother asks her to find the killer as her dying wish.  Great suspense, and a terrific whodunnit, as Holly fights her fears and the police, while the murderer gets close...very, very close.
