A pleasant day all around, got to sleep in a bit and relax before heading over to the mother in law @ 10:30-ish. Crash went over early to prepare for breakfast, home made banana and monkey breads, Starbucks coffee and all I had to do was show up! LOL
Scary Spice arrived shortly after with the three grands in tow, and in a flurry of paper shreds and bows gifts were opened pretty quick. I did very well, including but not limited to a Keurig Elite brewing system. I can't wait until morning! LOL Crash seemed to be thrilled with her Nook, I told her we'd go tomorrow sometime and pick out a case for it. Later we made the short trek over to the island to the Chinese buffet, oh it was So good! Everything was tasty, and they had a nice selection on the sushi bar which thrilled me to no end! Spent the rest of the day watching TV and reading.
Found a new author, JR Rain. I read the first in a series Moon Dance, pretty good paranormal mystery story, I enjoyed it immensely and am now on the second book Vampire Moon. I believe they are self published books, available at B&N dot com as well as his own site, all very reasonably priced all under $4. I'm probably going to read the entire series, and maybe some of his other stuff as well, so far I like his characters and the stories he tells.
*edited to fix the pronouns, evidently JR Rain is a male not female as I assumed before reading his bio on the website! LOL My bad. I still recommend giving him a try, if you like paranormal elements and light mystery (not quite cozy but kind of close to).
