Hooray, It’s Time for New Books!

This week, I am reading Freakslaw by Jane Flett and The Unworthy by Agustina Bazterrica, Sarah Moses (translator). Outside of books, I am finishing up Homicide: Life on the Street and trying to decide what to watch next. I’m thinking about continuing with another crime show I haven’t seen, maybe Person of Interest or Criminal Minds. I’m also looking forward to checking out the first episode of High Potential. In earworms, the song stuck in my head this week is “Lift Off” by Labrinth.

Here is your weekly cat hawk picture. This hawk came down and walked around our backyard for ten minutes the other day. We took a million pictures, of course. But this is the best one because you can really see its fluffy, polka-dotted pantaloons. It’s a Cooper’s hawk, which are all over the place here in Maine. (If we had been unable to identify it, it would be a D.B. Cooper’s hawk. Sorry, not sorry.)

“Books don’t offer real escape, but they can stop a mind scratching itself raw.” ―David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas (It has been out 20 years this year!)
