1. My friend's book,

The Lucky Hat Mine, by J. v. L. Bell, came out the first of October so I read it. She calls it 'vacation lit,' light-hearted reading. It was a fun, fast read. Historical fiction during the 1860s gold rush of Colorado.

I still had three books from the library I hadn't touched & realized, they are overdue since September 27! At a quarter a day, per book, that's a $16.50 fine! Ouch! So I hustled over to the library & guess what? They had just joined a coalition of other libraries & moved over to a new catalog system. In the process, all books were re-checked out with an October 17 date. Whew!

So, I'm reading Dark Matter by Blake Crouch, which has started out with a kick! And Madd Addam is up next.
