I'm glad you are feeling better, scarletwoman.

I finished Midnight Crossroad by Charlaine Harris. Hey, this was a weirdly unusual book. But I was entertained. That is all I hope for when I pick up a book, nothing more. I plan to check out other Charlaine Harris offerings.

I have yet to decide on a book for this week. I have been consumed with the NCAA basketball tournament.

Mrs. Enthusiast is reading The Fires Of Spring by James Michener. She is reading The Fires Of Spring at my suggestion. I read it many years ago (40?). She is fully involved and seems to be enjoying it. It is a paper back book that my parents read. I see on the cover the price was $1.25! I should re-read this because I remember very little of it other than I liked it very much.

Earlier Mrs. Enthusiast read The Point Of Rescue by Sophie Hannah. She emphatically did not like it. The Point Of Rescue was recommended by Tana French. Mrs. Enthusiast fully acknowledges that others might find the book appealing.

Scarletwoman, since we are on somewhat of a nautical theme I thought I would ask if you have ever read Two Years Before the Mast by Richard Dana Jr. I found it to be completely fascinating. I even developed an interest in sailing ships even though I am inland, far away from any great bodies of water.
