Weekend reading
This book is everything I want in a good book. It was a fun easy read but not total cotton candy trash. It’s the first book in the series but feels like I’ve picked one up in the middle only because the characters feel so developed. Harlan hints at all this backstory which I think (I hope) will be revealed in future novels but he doesn’t muddy up the water with a lot of exposition. A sentence here or there and then he just moves on. I -love- it when an author doesn’t feel like they have to explain every single thing to you. I picked it up this morning and didn’t do anything until I finished reading it a few hours later. I’m going to have to be careful about not even buying these books until I have time to read them. There’s no way I can be productive and have one of these, unread, in the house.
Beer and Blog, new venue!
Bar Louie has been less than helpful about us having our events at their bar. You’d think that having a dozen social media addicts meeting up at your bar every week (and talking about your bar every week) would rate us not getting static about separate bills and not having the gratuity automatically added but Bar Louie seems to think differently. To that end we’ve made a pilgrimage to Big Dog’s brewery. On the plus sign they have some really good beer and pretty good food (and cheese curds!). On the minus side it’s not really big enough to have our group here and happy hour only goes till 6. Oh, and they didn’t split the check and we got gratuity added…fail. Keep an eye out next week for the next venue in the series.
