Athena Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 I particularly like the little girl with the Milly Molly Mandy book - a Book Worm of the Future. She is cute !

How can a swimming pool disappear?! Quote
Little Pixie Posted March 20, 2016 Author Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) How can a swimming pool disappear?! I think that`s the book`s USP. Other things disappear in the Little Sisters` book - like corpses - but I just need to find out how a pool vanishes. Edited March 20, 2016 by Little Pixie Quote

Little Pixie Posted March 21, 2016 Author Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) I decided to give myself an Easter present by buying some more of the Frances & Richard Lockridge books which I love ( they wrote the Mr and Mrs North books, which appaarently are coming out on Kindle in the US ). I got 15 of the Lt. Nathan Shapiro and Captain Heimrich mysteries for £58.37 ( pretty good, considering they`re coming from the US ). Mr and Mrs North ebooks Books read : 45 TBR 828 New Books Bought : 49 Total Cost : £147.87 Edited March 21, 2016 by Little Pixie Quote

Little Pixie Posted March 22, 2016 Author Posted March 22, 2016 #46 Bad Faith - Aimee and David Thurlo Ex-investigative reporter, now Harley-riding Nun, gets caught up in murder mystery in Albuquerque. Okay, though someone else might really like it. #47 Murder for Art`s Sake - Richard Lockridge From the same Universe as the Mr and Mrs North books. Lt Nathan Shapiro investigates the case of a Painter whose death initially looks like a suicide. He`s helped by Dorian Weigand, a friend of the Norths`, who`s an illustrator and knows the Art World. The author is so good at conjuring up the atmosphere of New York in the early 70`s. A delightful read. #48 Death by Sheer Torture - Robert Barnard `Normal` Inspector Perry Trethowan`s Father dies in embarrassing circumstances, and Perry has to go back to his ancestral home to investigate. A clever whodunnit peopled with eccentric family members. Books read : 48 TBR 825 New Books Bought : 49 Total Cost : £147.87 Quote
Athena Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Books bought>Books read. Seems normal. Yep . But, you are catching up . Quote
Little Pixie Posted March 23, 2016 Author Posted March 23, 2016 Yep . But, you are catching up . I`ve drawn level now. #49 First Come, First Kill - Frances and Richard Lockridge Susan - wife of Captain Heimrich of the New York State Police - is gardening with her dog, when an elderly man comes slowly up her driveway... and collapses, dead. Susan realises he`s been shot. The man was a tramp - but who was he really ? What follows is an extremely clever and satisfying plot. Well worth reading. Quote
Little Pixie Posted March 23, 2016 Author Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) I may have bought more books... I got 6 more of the Captain Heimrich books for £26.09 ( there are some more that I want, but I`m hoping for some price drops ). Books read : 49 TBR 830 New Books Bought : 55 Total Cost : £173.96 Edited March 23, 2016 by Little Pixie Quote
Athena Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 I`ve drawn level now. Nice ! But then... : I may have bought more books... I hope you enjoy them !! Buying books is so much fun, isn't it . I plan to buy some next month (but to be fair, some of those won't go on my TBR because I've already read them from the library). Quote

I plan to buy some next month (but to be fair, some of those won't go on my TBR because I've already read them from the library). It`s great ! I was looking for a new series to see me through the year ( last year, it was Mr and Mrs North, before that, Patricia Moyes` Inspector Tibbett books ), so I`m looking forward to reading what I can of Captain Heimrich and Lt. Shapiro. Enjoy your new books next month ! It`s good to get a copy to reread, of something you`ve enjoyed. Quote

pontalba Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 Beautiful little calico! I love the way she is sitting with her paws crossed. My Twinkletoes does exactly the same. It's always fun to start a new series by a reliable author. Yay! Quote
Little Pixie Posted March 29, 2016 Author Posted March 29, 2016 Beautiful little calico! I love the way she is sitting with her paws crossed. My Twinkletoes does exactly the same. I`ve never seen her do it before. Luckily, I got the camera on her before she could rush off shouting Damned Paparazzi ! Quote
Kylie Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 She's gorgeous! I love her little crossed paws. I don't think I've seen either of mine do that before. Quote
Little Pixie Posted March 30, 2016 Author Posted March 30, 2016 She was playing outside ( it`s lovely and sunny, for once ) - she`s now come inside to use the loo. Quote
Athena Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Haha that's not nice she does that . Our goats do the same thing, they do inside their house just to do their business. It would be a lot easier if they just did it outside. Quote
