This week I'm reading...
From the e-book version...
As a metaphor for my life, the crossroads rocked. I sat in my rented Chevy, glaring at the GPS screen, then got out of the vehicle and looked around. One one side of me was an evergreen forest, into which one road descended, and the other was a rocky prominence, the highway cutting through it like a kebab skewer through shish.
I was not reflecting on my metaphorical lostness, however, but my literal situation. The GPS told me I was in front of a Denny's on I-90 as it cut through upstate New York. Looking around at the gloomy walls of evergreen and granite, I reflected that a Denny's breakfast would be welcome right about then, but no shiny, happy hostess came melting out of the woods with a coffeepot and a smile.
You can't always rely on GPS. That's why it's best to check out where you're going first before heading out.
ReplyDeleteBtw, I like the cover. It looks like a cozy read.

ReplyDeleteI like the cozy intro and would read some more. Fun title as well. Thanks for joining us Yvonne and thank you for joining us this week.
ReplyDeleteNice pick, Yvonne. I love to discover new cozy series and this one sounds like it's got a plucky heroine with a sense of humor, so I'd keep reading.
ReplyDeleteI just bought the first in another new series. It's called Do or Diner by Christine Wenger, and it's the first in A Comfort Food Mystery series. Looking forward to starting it soon.
