How's your May going?

Things are better here. On Sunday, we celebrated Mother's Day, three May birthdays, and my niece's graduation from college! She graduated with honors too! My sister was exhausted, but she really wanted to celebrate the graduate. She's still off work - there's so much to be done.

And my oldest nephew and his wife had their first child, an adorable baby boy! His mother (my sister) is over the moon. She had almost given up on grandkids.

I haven't read that much this month. So far in May:
Buried in a Book by Tamara Berry. Fun little cozy with a mystery writer as the heroine and an undercover librarian.
The Spare Man by Mary Robinette Kowal. It has a Nick and Nora Charles in Space vibe. There are drink recipes to start every chapter. The ending was kind of a mess, though.
Siren Queen by Nghi Vo. Early 20s and movie stars. Hollywood is literally run by monsters and magic.
Going Zero by Andrew McCarten. Suspenseful technothriller with a wild plot twist halfway through. I haven't read them much since my Michael Crichton days but I couldn't put it down.

Sad to see so many TV shows being cancelled but I still support the writers strike.

It's a great time of year in DC. No humidity yet, nice breezes. So have a nice sunset and an egret looking for dinner
