Sudoku is a Puzzle, Isn't It?

Hello everyone! I hope that you're all just fine this morning - I certainly am! :) Anyway, I just wanted to give you an update on how I'm doing so far. On Thursday, May 22nd, I finished Spirit Lost: A Ghost Novel by Nancy Thayer. I immediately started reading The Merry-Hearted Boys: Liam Clancy, The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem by Ron L. Leonard on Thursday, May 22nd. The author himself sent me a copy of this book to read.

So far, I'm not that far into the book - just far enough in to write a partial review, that it seems like it will be pretty good. But I really do need to read further. Anyway, on Sunday, May 25th, I started reading Watson's Apology: A Novel by Beryl Bainbridge; which was a 'just because' gift from Mareena for the month of May. So far, it's good - although perhaps a little disjointed.

I've also been doing a lot of crosswords and sudoku puzzles in between my reading.

Puzzle Mania Has Struck Again!

Hello everyone! I hope that you're all just fine this morning - I certainly am! :) Anyway, I wanted to give you an update on how I'm doing so far. Since I finished When Satan Wore a Cross: The Shocking True Story of a Killer Priest by Fred Rosen on Tuesday, May 13th, I have been wondering what to read next. There have been several really interesting books that arrived in the mail for me over the past couple of days, but I just couldn't decide which one to begin reading! :) 

In the end, I chose Circle of Three: A Novel by Patricia Gaffney. I started reading this book yesterday afternoon, Friday, May 16th. It's a reread for me from perhaps a decade ago - a familiar story, but hazily so. I'm enjoying it very much. So far today, I've done two or three Sudoku puzzles and a jigsaw puzzle as well.

So, 'Puzzle Mania' Has Struck Again!

Hello everyone! I hope that you're all just fine this morning - I certainly am! :) Anyway, I wanted to give you an update on my week, since I haven't posted a book review in the past couple of days. Since Saturday, March 15th - and a short bout yesterday - I've been doing puzzles! :) Mainly jigsaw puzzles - although I'm alternating between jigsaws, sudoku, and crosswords as well.

I've done at least two jigsaw puzzles that I've had in my collection since last Christmas! Oh, my goodness. ;) Also, Mareena and I got engrossed in watching a movie that just came on television: 'The Conspirator' with Robin Wright and James McAvoy. The movie is about the trial of Mary Surratt - the lone female charged as a co-conspirator in the assassination trial of Abraham Lincoln. Robin Wright played the role of Mary Surratt and James McAvoy played the role of Fredrick Aiken - her reluctant lawyer who is trying to save her life.

I'm currently reading Earthly Possessions by Anne Tyler, and so far it's really good! I started reading this book on Thursday afternoon, March 13th! :)

I'm in the Midst of a Weeklong Puzzle Blitz...or Should I Say a Puzzle Binge!

Hello everyone! I hope that you're all just fine this morning - I certainly am! :) Anyway, I wanted to give you an update on my week, since I haven't posted a book review in just over a week or so. Since Friday, December 6th - or maybe Saturday, December 7th - I've been doing puzzles! :) Mainly jigsaw puzzles - although I'm alternating between jigsaws, sudoku, and crosswords as well.

I've done three of the jigsaw puzzles that we bought from the Library Book Sale that Mareena and I went to on November 21st. The rest were already part of my collection, and have been for years. I'm currently about a third of the way through doing my sixth jigsaw puzzle. The majority of the puzzles have been 1000 pieces - although a couple may have been 500 pieces - I'm not sure.

I'm not actually reading anything at the moment, although I do have two books waiting for me in the wings - Deadly Grace by Taylor Smith, and Dracula in Love by Karen Essex. I may start reading Dracula in Love by Karen Essex next, once the puzzle phase passes. That is one of Mareena's books, but she has let me borrow it to read.
