A little murder; a little mystery

inspiration....






Last weekend we went to a murder mystery party at the home of dear friends, Emily & Micah D. It was set in 1936 and I played Ali, famous writer of very realistic murder novels--a little TOO realistic. Collin played Rog, long lost son and now heir of the late billionaire, Sir Rogers.

It was a night of deception, accusation, and most of all, murder.

Pretty fun stuff.

Oh! And Collin was totally the murderer. Muwahahaha!!!

And I'm super interested in CL Moore after reading up in her for my part. I got one of her books and will start it as soon as I finish Northanger Abbey, which we are now reading for book club.

Book Club

Today I had the first meeting of my new book club. There are four of us and I met them about 4 years ago. We all lived in Provo, UT together and now we are in Provo, Phoenix, Glendale, and Sioux Falls, South Dakota. We had our meeting over gchat (minus one that sadly didn't make it) about our first book, The Happiness Project. It was a great meeting because we not only discussed our book and ideas and goals, but it was like we were all hanging out. Our kids are all 4 and younger and they were around, playing, nursing, napping, crying. It was so exhilarating. After 2.5 hours we were done and I was so happy that Fred and I danced to Jai Ho super loudly.


Next book: Northanger Abbey
I've never been into Jane Austin but actually I've never really read it. Why not give it a shot? We picked this particular story because its shorter and we don't know what it's about at all. I'm excited!!!
