Okay, I’m posting this a little late, so some of you may not see this on World Book Day, but that doesn’t matter. Read a good book lately? Share the news and let others in on it.
Recently I read a book that’s been out for three years and has been on the best seller list for I don’t know how much of that time, so some of you may have read it already. It’s called “Remarkably Bright Creatures” by Shelby Van Pelt and it’s about a woman who befriends an octopus. Sounds a little strange, right? But it’s an endearing story–about more than just the woman and her octopus friend– with a happy ending.
I just started “The Queens of Crime” by Marie Benedict, an author I’ve enjoyed before. It’s historical fiction about five woman mystery writers who decide to solve a real-life crime in order to gain credibility with their male peers. These writers include Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers, and the story is based on real-life events. So far, so good.
I hope all of you find books you enjoy. Share some here if you’d like!!

Every day should be World Book Day. Our local library has their big book sale coming up soon, and I cannot wait. Thanks for the reminder, Belinda.

Love those library book sales! My great-aunt used to go to them, then she’d pass out the books she bought to any family member who visited her.

I purchased a book by Agatha Christie that had four mysteries within the one volume. I enjoyed it more than I expected.
