I finished reading
The Case of the Man Who Died Laughing at the airport curb. I tossed the book to my hubby to return to the library for me, grabbed my suitcase, and headed into the terminal.
Read
Beauty by Robin McKinley. This was a retelling of the fairytale,
Beauty and the Beast. It was also McKinley's first published novel (1978). The story is beautifully told. It's as fresh today as when it was originally published.
Now reading
