My expectations may have been too high, and the story within a story idea I was so excited about didn't work very well. But if Horowitz writes more of the Atticus Pund series, I think I'll read those!Bonnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11608328439375705263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-62245101494288245032017-08-10T09:03:59.131-04:002017-08-10T09:03:59.131-04:00I do love the process of knitting, I just wish I w...I do love the process of knitting, I just wish I was a little faster at it sometimes.Bonnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11608328439375705263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-22806116498055268722017-08-09T20:06:18.003-04:002017-08-09T20:06:18.003-04:00Hang in there with that Hitchhiker.

I just finished Magpie Murders this morning. I thought it fun and rather clever -- and kind of perfect for late summer reading. I'm about tolaunch in to BearTown (having finally risen to the top of the incredibly long "hold" list at the library), and I'm listening to Last Night in Twisted River (John Irving).Kymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01332895223302876006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-76894643749824384902017-08-09T14:57:20.694-04:002017-08-09T14:57:20.694-04:00It seems like many of us are becalmed in the Augus...It seems like many of us are becalmed in the August doldrums "knitting the same old thing at a snail's pace"!

But I did finish it and am so happy I did.

I am about 2/3s through the Magpie Murders and I was brought up short by the change from the book to the present day. I had hoped for the last chapters to be found and the story finished. I'll chalk it up to a fun read. margenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203284423648703855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-70316222696359443302017-08-09T08:47:39.491-04:002017-08-09T08:47:39.491-04:00That is some interesting math!!
