When I recreated my blog header here, I brought my Madeline doll over by the bookshelves, and set her next to some of the Disney figurines for her photo op. She needed to shine.
Normally she sits on the hall tree with other friends: I love the big Mary Engelbreit doll on the right. Behind her and behind Madeline on the left are Red Ridinghood and the Wolf…which I found in a neighborhood shop a few years ago. I like how the mirror reflects my bookshelves. I also collect quirky handbags with Elvis, Betty Boop, and Marilyn Monroe images, along with one from Mary Engelbreit. In the center, a big Boyd’s Bears goose with a bear atop it.
Sometimes I move them around…they’ve been atop my sofa table, too, but I prefer them at the front door, greeting guests.

So…good morning, and let’s talk about Tuesday events. Amazon Book Release day, of course. I’ve been over there downloading a couple of books that I had bookmarked:
Cold as Ice (e-book), by Julie Mulhern – Book Six in the Country Club Murder Series
I’ve heard that this one is the best of the lot! But since I’ve loved all of them so far, I didn’t need to read that to know I’m eager to dive into this one.

The Last Mrs. Parrish (e-book), by Liv Constantine
The mesmerizing debut about a coolly manipulative woman and a wealthy “golden couple,” from a stunning new voice in psychological suspense.
Some women get everything. Some women get everything they deserve.

I’m currently reading and loving Lie to Me, by J. T. Ellison. Lots of interesting twists, and numerous perspectives.
Today I featured this book in my Rainy Day Excerpts.
What does your Tuesday look like? New books? Interesting memes?

I’m wondering if the Mulhern series books need to be read in order or could each stand alone. I hope you enjoy the latest!

I think they can stand alone, Mary. I hope you enjoy them.

I keep forgetting to get started on that Country Club series; I’ve heard many good things about it. Today I walked 3.16 miles in about 48 minutes, showered, blew out my hair, and went to Whole Foods to pick up groceries. My man’s craving spaghetti so I bought the ingredients, some baking ingredients, and four boxes of tea for myself. I’m catching up on blogs today and have to pick up the teen early afternoon.

I’m looking forward to the spaghetti because I got organic vodka sauce.

I got a few new books in the mail and that’s always exciting. I finished the book I was reading and I’m thinking about retiring my present blog and reinventing a new one.

Thanks for visiting, Laurie; or you could just add another blog…LOL. That’s what I started doing when I wanted to spice things up. I now have six blogs.
