It has been a strange week for reading! I started with one book that I did not finish, went on to an audiobook that was produced like a radio play, and then a couple of other quickies, one a holiday (Christmas) special and the other: The Princess Bride. Usually I have one or two books to pick from, this time I had four. I listened to the audiobook of The Princess Bride, which is, unfortunately, abridged. I’ll have to read the full text another time. But that’s what I’ve got, so that’s what we’ll go with.

It’s hard to believe that it has been sixteen years since Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight hit the scene. On the other hand, it has been almost that long since I last read it, and there is a lot that I only have vague impressions of. When I saw Midnight Sun, a retelling of Twilight from Edward’s perspective at my library, I thought “why not?” I enjoyed Twilight (though not as much as The Host—I am far more interested in action/suspense than romance) and it’s always nice to have something added to the canon.

Father’s Day is coming! How about some books to celebrate dads?
Many of the characters in my books are or were street kids and/or foster kids and they tend to have abusive or absent fathers. So I thought I would highlight a couple of them who had good relationships with their dads. I have also pulled together a sampling of other books showcasing good father/child relationships. I hope you find something here that you like!

I think this is the first time I have read something from Connie Shelton’s Samantha Sweet Mysteries. Bitter Sweet is book #5, but you will have no problem understanding who the players are or what is going on. It is a self-contained mystery like most of the cozy or traditional mysteries that you have read.
