Nice man cave.
I finally got Moonflower Murders by Anthony Horowitz and I cannot put it down. It's 608 pages long and in 3 sittings I am already halfway through it. I so enjoy how Horowitz's writing flows nicely, along with the little tricks he employs in his stories. I also love that he writes about writing and authors and editors. He draws some really brilliant conclusions about them all.
I'm also reading Parable of the Sower: A Graphic Novel Adaptation. Not everyone enjoys GNs but I love 'em. It's just rare to find one that is beautifully rendered and also great literature; this one fills the bill. It just came out last year and it's really powerful. If you are not familiar with the original story, it's about us in the year 2024 and the country is in social chaos caused by unattended environmental and economic crises. Written in 1993 by Octavia E. Butler.
Listening to The Girls in the Garden by Lisa Jewell. "Imagine that you live on a picturesque communal garden square, an oasis in urban London where your children run free, in and out of other people's houses. You've known your neighbors for years and you trust them. Implicitly. You think your children are safe. But are they really?"
Wishing everyone a beautiful day of Solstice. Sending cooling thoughts to people in TX, CA and other areas where temps are soaring.
