It’s been a tough week,
seems like there have been,
many of those,
this Summer,
hot and humid,
makes for low sales,
and,
a grumpy,
sleep deprived,
butch,
with wonky concentration.
But, I still got my looks and a rockin’ new haircut:-P
The kitchen is getting a face lift,
new doors,
on the cabinets,
and,
a subway tile ceramic back splash,
looks good,
brings it,
into this century,
from the nineties,
mom is over the moon happy,
I like it too.
The problem is that it messes with ,
my already messed up,
sleep.
oh well,
it will be finished soon,
I hope 🙂
My lady sent me,
a package with some books,
she’s so sweet and considerate that way<swoon>
One of the books,
helped with my mood,
and,
my concentration problems,
a Karin Kallmaker romance,
that I hadn’t read,
Nice:-)
I have read all but,
the last two,
I read one last year,
that I wasn’t crazy about,
the story didn’t work for me.
However, even a Kallmaker,
that isn’t her best,
is still head and shoulders,
over most romance novels.
The one I read this week,
is Warming Trend,
set briefly in Key West,
but mostly,
in Alaska.
An Alaskan setting is perfect when you are suffering from the heat
I liked this book,
a lot,
good romance,
an intrigue,
some science,
that seems credible,
mind, I’m no scientist.
I enjoyed the info about ice,
and the effects of,
man made havoc.
The main character,
Ani is a brilliant,
butch ice geologist,
well, almost she’s working on her Phd,
full of passion,
and irresistible naivete,
a strong, smart, character,
who perhaps trusts people,
too much.
Her work ethic and honesty,
are exemplary,
she doesn’t play games,
she doesn’t even know how,
thinks everyone is like her,
honest,
straightforward,
and,
working in the interests of science.
I’m simplifying a complex character,
but,
this is at her root.
A good story,
interesting characters,
even the ‘vilain’,
isn’t one dimensional.
The secondary characters are well drawn,
the mark of good fiction,
and,
it’s wonderfully romantic.
Good read,
entertaining, sexy.
Just what a grumpy ole butch needed.
