Been reading a lot of mysteries recently. The Secret Adversary, by Agatha Christie; that was the first to use Tommy and Tuppence. (They make a great team. Plus it's just a really fun read.) And I could use a fun read after following up Aldous Huxley's Brave New World with C.S. Lewis' Screwtape Letters imediately afterward.
Also read through the second and third books of a cozy-mystery series by Blanche Manos and Barbara Burgess this weekend, Grave Shift and Best Left Buried. (I read the first, The Cemetery Club, in April.) I wouldn't have read them if Blanche hadn't been the author, but they were nice. (She was one of Mimi's best friends, so...)
And Chasing the Wind, by Robert Elmer. (It's the fifth of an eight-book series about the adventures of 12-year-old Danish twins and their best friend during WWII. Research for a project Ashland and I are working on. Secret Adversary was, too.)
Currently working on How To Read a Book, by Mortimer Adler and Charles Van Doren. (Yep, THAT Charles Van Doren, who caused the Quiz Show Scandal of the 1950's.) It's interesting so far. Courtney just read it recently. Her internship with Tim Challies started on Tuesday, that's pretty neat.
Haven't had much of a chance to write very often; Caleb and Trevor switched bedrooms, so moving all that stuff and then rearranging furniture, etc. Also, dishes and laundry and stuff. Trevor hurt his knee falling out of a tree after church on Sunday, so that's been kinda rough on him.
