And then at Rotary yesterday the president said we'll have a gift exchange at next week's meeting. $25 value. (Gender observation: the president is a woman. Would any group of men even think about a gift exchange?) Of course I'll need to provide Stevens' contribution as well as my own.
The AAUW luncheon is today, we're going to a dinner tonight, the P.E.O. luncheon is tomorrow, and we're going to a concert tomorrow night. Hopefully I'll get the runners to the flimsy stage on Sunday.
Linking up with Finished or Not Friday
I've known about Cara Black's Aimee LeDuc series for many years but now that I've been to Paris I've begun to read them. Aimee is a private investigator, half-French, half-American, whose late father was a detective with the Paris police. Though her specialty is cyber crime she gets pulled into other cases. There are many characters and a lot of action. I've read #1 (set in 1994, published 1998) and #4 (still 1994, published 2003) and will gradually catch up on the others.
(I just noticed that the book covers are grayscale, too.)
That is a quick turn around for a quilted gift (not to mention two!) but you can do it! That book series sounds interesting. I'll have to try it!
ReplyDeleteBusy times at your house;))) the Gray Scale is coming together so nicely, Nann!!
ReplyDeleteI read a couple of the Cara black books a while ago--maybe it's time to try a re-read (something which i do a lot!!) Hugs for a good weekend Julierose
always keen on good mysteries....lovely projects in the works...oh my you do have a busy calendar!
ReplyDeleteWow! You are busy! I concur! Most men would not think of a gift exchange. I’m always blown away by what men choose in such instances.
ReplyDeleteInteresting book recommendations! I’ve never heard of them, but would try them out with your recommendation. Thanks.
The Aimee le Duc series does sound interesting. I've been looking for a new series to read. You always recommend such good books. The gray scale quilt will be pretty striking. You're probably right about the gender observation. LOL
ReplyDeleteThere's something so effective about black, white and grey. Glad you were able to come up with something to create in a hurry for the exchange.
ReplyDeleteYour review of Cara Black's Aimee series is such a great example of the benefits of travel. As I recall I had trouble following the action in these books but wonder if I should try it again now that life is a bit less harried.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Ceci
Such a whirlwind of social activities...no wonder you need that special show on NYE :-D
ReplyDeleteI really like your black/gray and white blocks. Very dramatic. When do you have time to sew? You have so much going on. Thanks for the book recommendations, I'm looking for a new series, I've not been to get into any recently.
