The weather in my neck of the woods was wonderful this weekend, the temps dropped from intolerable to tolerable. A local brewery released their Oktoberfest beer and I was very tempted to see if it was possible to go there and stay away from everyone and have my first beer of the fall season. I am planning to taste some new fall beers this year and write about them as I did in the fall of 2017. I also plan to read some beer-centered cozy mysteries!
It's the last day of August, and as you can see I'm working on planning my fall. On my to-do list for today, I have allotted time to reflect on August and plan September. If that sounds good to you, join me in doing this practice each month. I write about the highlights and low lights of the month and then review my planner and see what I want to do in the upcoming month.
I read a novella from a book series I really enjoy over the weekend. I loved that it was set up in classic mystery style, think Agatha Christie or Clue. Everyone had means and motive, and the Main Character had to solve it. Lots of fun! My review is below-
Diamond Fire by Ilona AndrewsMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book is done as a classic mystery, everyone involved is at the Rogan family estate and
Catalina is our detective. There is also the comedy that comes from planning a wedding and I enjoyed seeing the wedding planning from Catalina's perspective as well as the scenes with Mrs. Rogan. It was also fun to read how Ilona Andrews had a Sherlock Holmes climax were the mystery was revealed to all the suspects present. I'm already halfway through the next book in the series, the Hidden Legacy series is so hard to put down!
