Some of my favorites.

Twilight.

That's all that matters. Reading is good for you.

"The Patient" by Jasper Dewitt and "The Lost Diary of Venice" by Margaux DeRoux.

Sounds rather harrowing. A patient in a mental hospital drives everyone who tries to work with him insane.

Sticking with The Lost Diary... That does sound like a good one.

Two Ed McBains - "The Mugger" and "The Pusher". Both top notch. Also "The Postman always rings twice" by James M. Cain. Pretty good, but not McBain good.

Currently on "Slam the big door" by John D. MacDonald - another of my favourite American thriller writers.

Away from books I am desperately trying to avoid the flag-shaggers and their Jubilee "celebrations".

That's how many John D. MacDonald has on his list, and I never heard of him. (I've led a pretty sheltered life). He did write lots of award winners.

So, you're at party central now? Hey, 70 years at one job, that's rather impressive. Good excuse to stay in and read, I'd say. Stay safe. The bugs are still out there.

But I had it in my head that it was 75.

that there are so many books like this out there. They could serve as inspiration a few years from now. We should find a way to store them all in vaults for the future, if you know what I mean, and I think you do.

Busy here, making spaghetti sauce from scratch, with lots of zucchini. I use it all the time and have added your posted recipe to my collection. Thanks.
