Vacation was awesome

OMG, vacation did me good. I haven’t taken a real, not-working-on-another-project vacation for a long time. I hung out with Stagey, played with Schnitzel in the river, cooked lots of food and read four books.

This was our view:

Schnitzel kept busy by securing the perimeter.

South Side secure!

West side secure!

He also enjoyed howling at the workmen next door

and I kept busy pulling stuff out of his beard.

Wingshooters by Nina Revoyr (I highly recommend anything by Nina Reyvor!)

Girls to the Front by Sara Marcus

and two mysteries (though the SJ Rozan turned out to be more of a thriller)

Still Midnight by Denise Mina

and On the Line by S.J. Rozan

Did you find Wingshooters depressing? I don't know if I can take depressing stories right now. It sounds like it's an amazing story, though!

It doesn't end well, but I wouldn't call it super-depressing either. The narrator is looking back in time so that blunts the tragedies a little.
