Three was definitely not a crowd yesterday but we were in good company. Jane, Peg, and I sat around the hundred -year old table, munching chocolate chip cookies and swigging Folgers coffee. And, we talked. Critiqued? Yes. Visited? Yes, a lot!
Peg shared with us two captivating cozy mysteries she recently read– Wedding Cake Crumbles by Jenn McKinlay and Books and Bagpipes by Paige Shelton. “Why did these hold your interest?” I asked. Peg’s answer was that they were enjoyable because of a convoluted plotline and also because she likes to see the protagonist extricate herself from the problem at hand instead of being rescued by someone else.
Jane has been so busy with other things that she hasn’t taken time to write a new poem, but she did bring up some interesting TV shows, some old ones, in fact. I guess we sort of reviewed them and we discussed the obvious physical merits of Peter Graves and his brother James Arness.
Jane also told us about a fascinating Facebook page, Arkansas History Unearthed. For all you history buffs, this is a worthwhile addition to your Facebook repertoire.
I read more of Ned McNeil’s third adventure and got some succinct pointers from both Peg and Jane.
So ended the last cozy critique we’ll have in April. We’re already looking forward to May and the next one!
