Saturday

And I used to be a voracious reader. My favorite genre was mysteries, I especially enjoyed historical mysteries, nothing too gruesome. There used to be a mystery bookstore in my former hometown and I even met a couple of authors. But the woman who ran it finally closed up shop and now she does business in the internets. And where I live now I don't believe there's even a bookstore, so I spend my free time on DU these days.
