Weather Whiplash

17 Apr, 2014

I, along with most of the United States am SICK of winter. We had it good for awhile but now it’s cold again. On April 16th I awoke in the early morning hours to sleet pounding my windows. Craziness I tell you.

So what’s new? The hubbs got the two gardens tilled up! Super happy about that – now I can only blame myself for any procrastination (or the weather!).

The BIG news in my word is we are planning a vacation! NOW there is EXCITEMENT!!! I have never been to New York City and I have always wanted to go. So.. I finally wrangled myself a trip. Lots and Lots of planning to do. And saving – my LORD N.Y.C. is expensive.

From the Stacks:

Thanks to Gallery, Threshold, Pocket Books for providing this early advanced review copy through NetGalley. Wow! What a read! The Butcher by Jennifer Hillier is an exhilarating, fast paced thriller that will keep the reader absorbed right to the very last page.

I enjoyed this novel for several reasons. First and foremost, it was not completely predictable. There is not much higher on my list of things that make a bad book than to get a few chapters in and pretty much have the entire plot figured out. If you are looking for some OMG moments, then you are going to get them in The Butcher.

The Butcher is a fast moving, easy to read and highly satisfying novel. One won’t be disappointed. Look for this one out July 15.

Next up: is a novel by Miranda Beverly-Whittemore and a Rodale’s gardening book – hopefully I’ll learn something!!
