private #1 suspect

This was yet another one from James Patterson. I still have eight books to go and I think I will be done with him after that. This book in particular was “co-written” by Maxine Paetro. She’s better than some of his other co-authors, but still a bit cheesy. Does Patterson even write books by himself anymore? If not, that’s a pretty good gig he has going on.

Anyway, this book was full of stuff that would never happen in real life, pretty much like all of his others. It held my interest well enough, but there are so many other better things to read out there.

My rating: 3/5

merry christmas to me

I bought myself a new watch for Christmas. It’s a Citizen Eco-Drive and is a replacement for my broken watch of the same type. I got it this week and am pretty excited to have a working watch again!

when harry met sally

Due to a lack of new entertainment, I’m revisiting some previously watched movies and shows. This one was a classic and it held up pretty well. It’s not quite as funny the second time because we’ve all seen the famous deli scene 100 times by now, but it was still enjoyable to watch.

My rating: 4/5

Today is Buster’s 13th birthday! To celebrate, he’s going to sleep on the couch all day. Happy Birthday, Buster! Enjoy your nap.

library update

The library project is coming along. I work on it a little almost every evening. Since I last wrote, I applied a finish to the maple banding on the bookcases. The main trim has also been installed for the bookcases and the window seating, as well as the decorative trim on the seating.

The window seating will have storage, so I’m working on the lids for that at the moment. After that, I’ll buy/install the shoe molding and a few other trim pieces and then get things prepped for painting.

I do not have the top of the bookcases figured out yet. Something definitely needs to be done. I’m kicking around some ideas so we’ll see what sticks. Before I do that, I think I’m going to clean everything and reorganize all of the books.
