I tend to read 2 or 3 books at a time ... oh I'm not a bookworm ... just like having a book on hand in every room ... you  never know when boredum will attack ...

Maybe a fluff book … but it takes place during Halloween so it seems appropriate … plus … need I mention … David Tennant? Hello … new season is already pre-ordered … like a month and counting. Click on the picture above to purchase the book n Amazon.   

Happy Sunday!

Starting a new book today...

I just finished Open Season by C.J. Box (a Joe Pickett novel) … a decent book, I dunno if I’d call it a true mystery cause I figured it out way too early in the book, maybe a bit predictable but a good read. I thought that Joe was a little slow on the uptake LOL but he got there in the end and proved himself a hero …

I’ve started The Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger … it’s very well written so far.

Happy Saturday!

IN 1492

In fourteen hundred ninety-two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.

He had three ships and left from Spain;
He sailed through sunshine, wind and rain.

He sailed by night; he sailed by day;
He used the stars to find his way.

A compass also helped him know
How to find the way to go.

Ninety sailors were on board;
Some men worked while others snored.

Then the workers went to sleep;
And others watched the ocean deep.

Day after day they looked for land;
They dreamed of trees and rocks and sand.

October 12 their dream came true,
You never saw a happier crew!

“Indians!  Indians!”  Columbus cried;
His heart was filled with joyful pride.

But “India” the land was not;
It was the Bahamas, and it was hot.

The Arakawa natives were very nice;
They gave the sailors food and spice.

Columbus sailed on to find some gold
To bring back home, as he’d been told.

He made the trip again and again,
Trading gold to bring to Spain.

The first American?  No, not quite.
But Columbus was brave, and he was bright.

Happy Monday!
