One more day closer to Spring . . . every day moves me closer to Spring. Keeping this thought in mind helps me cope with closing out another week of winter, one that broke a record for cold temperatures and brought another small snowstorm.
On the bright side, it was a good time for reading. I'll be closing out the week by watching the Academy Awards. Once again I'll be recording Downton Abbey for later viewing.
This past week's posts:
Tuesday: First Chapter Intro
Wednesday: Waiting on . . .

The Weight of Blood by Laura McHughPart coming of age story and part murder mystery, Lucy's investigation into the disappearance of a classmate uncovers one family's shameful past and the town's dark secrets. Who will survive these revelations as a tornado bears down on the small Ozark town of Henbane?
As the plot unfolds, readers piece together the mysteries of the past and their impact on current events in this well-paced page turner. The Weight of Blood explores the dark side of human nature, the price of silence, how far people go to protect loved ones or personal interests, the definition of family, and the resilience of the human spirit.
The Three-Day Affair
by Michael Kardos
A weekend getaway goes horribly awry for four college buddies who have been reuniting annually for a weekend of golf since their graduation from Princeton University. As their weekend in suburban New Jersey begins, the unexpected and drastic actions of one brings life-altering consequences for all.
As the story unfolds, readers come to realize that nothing is quite as it seems, as the men's past grudges, secrets, rivalries, and betrayals are revealed in a series of plot twists. Once thick as thieves, they must come to terms with their past behavior as each hurtles toward an uncertain future. The Three-Day Affair explores the nature of friendship, the consequences of youthful missteps, and the lengths to which some are willing to go for personal gain and to settle past grievances.

Enjoying this family saga, but I only listen when I'm in the car, which is not so often these days. I've been limiting driving because of the weather.
