Mugging

 It's PO'Monday!

Enjoy the two-minute slideshow below; all images snapped of Celestial Paddy O'Malley on June 18, 2016.

What a goof, and you'll smile...I guarantee it.

He loved to mug for the camera.


AT LAST!

The end of June is Audiobook Month.

Am an audiobook aficionado; every one listed this month is an audiobook that I've listened to.

I recommend these stand-alone novels, written by women:

Objects of My Affection by Jill Smolinski, narrated by Xe Sands (2012)

The Haunting of Maddy Clare by Simone St. James, narrated by Billie Fulford-Brown (2012)

The Woman In Black by Susan Hill, narrated by Paul Ansdell (2001)

And When She Was Good by Laura Lippman, narrated by Linda Emond (2012)

Pisces?

It's Twozday!

Here in Michigan, we've had the HOTS, and some humans have not left the house since Saturday.

Manny and Chili Bruce still manage to nap together; pictorial evidence below:
In the bay window, again.
Don't they sorta look like the Pisces sign?
Manny, in situ and up close.
CB, drooling just a bit.

DCS Simon Serrailler is the central character, set in the fictional English cathedral town of Lafferton.

Simon's family members and staff are a large part of the stories, as is his second life as a artist of some renown.

Have been waiting for book #12 to be published for YEARS; rumors are that the author is ill.

Book 11 ended with Simon deciding to take a big step in his personal life, so we beg the publishers to please please please find a way to get this book to market.
