Today we are heading to the mountains of North Georgia to celebrate my dad's birthday! We are driving and staying at a VRBO by a creek. I'll be sure to take and share some pictures because Appalachia is beautiful. It's also an extremely old area, so I assume there are ghosts around every turn.
While we are there I'm hoping to go to the bookstore on the square and also pick up some preserves and local honey. Speaking of food, when we drove down in the spring we stopped at a Bojangles and I had the most delicious fried ham and pimento cheese biscuit. I still haven't recovered.
One of our kiddos has to work and is missing the party. I hope that they don't put my iron skillet in the dishwasher like they did the last time I wasn't home...
Now on to a cozy mystery. Recently I listened to the audio version of Death in Castle Dark by Veronica Bond. It was the book of the month for the Cozy Mystery Book Club. If you want to hear Angela and her guest discuss this book you can watch the live stream on YouTube. I thought the book was pretty good. If someone asked me to recommend a cozy mystery book to someone who doesn't read the genre, this would be a good pick. It has all the classic cozy mystery elements. You've got a murder, of course, a potential love interest, a quirky new friend and cats. Plus there's a castle!
3.5 stars for Death in Castle Dark!
The August book club book is Death and Gondola. I'm waiting til I have an audible credit to listen to it this month! How about you?Any August vacations or books you are looking forward to reading before the month is over?

Nice to hear you are getting a nice trip. I'm more into mystery thrillers so I'm excited about the new Will Trent book - This is Why We Lied by Karin Slaughter and the next Cork O'Connor - Spirit Crossing by William Ken Krueger.
