Rain Song

Rain Song - Alice J Wisler

I know, I know, I said I wasn't reading anything else for awhile, but I lied.  Oh, come on, that's not a big surprise.  Have you met me?  Have you ever seen me without at least one book on the go?

So, you thought the murder mysteries were out of character for me, this one was (are you sitting down?) Christian-lit. 

Uh huh!  (I can see that look on your face, Melody)  A Kindle freebie, obviously down-loaded in error, but I decided to read it anyway.  It was good.  I liked the main character;  a woman born in Kyoto but brought up in North Carolina after a tragedy that took her mother's life.  Struggling to remember anything about her early life in Japan while distancing herself from all things Japanese.  The religiosity was subtle enough that it was easily ignored and didn't detract from the story.  Might even enhance it for some people (I'm lookin' at you, Debbie)  Would've been a better book if the author had written twice as much because there was a lot left to wrap up, but maybe that's the sign of a good book if it leaves you wanting more.

Okay, now we're off to the vet to get Taz up-to-date on all of her shots in readiness for our trip to Mexico.  Gonna ask for some tranqs for her too so maybe she won't pant & drool on us for 4 solid days of driving.   Poor little girl is a nervous wreck in the van, it'd be nice if she could just lie down and relax for a few hours at least.  Having done that trip with her a couple of times now, I know that one of us is gonna need drugs!

Later:
Dinner tonight was Spicy Coconut Shrimp Stew served over rice and it was absolutely delicous!!!  (If I do say so myself)  Found the recipe here.  Blogger is doing maintenance on the web site so I can't upload any photos right now, I'll pop it in later.  (although her photo is better anyway.)
