Happy Friday!
It's been a while, but today I'm once again participating in six blog hops. You can click on the host links below to find the blogs of others who are participating in each blog hop. If you're a blogger, feel free to join through the host links.
Question: Is there a book or series so precious to you that you wouldn't want it adapted for screen, fearing it might be ruined? If it did happen, would you still find yourself watching it?
My response: I can't think of any book or series that I wouldn't want adapted on screen. When I watch an adaptation of a book, I go into it knowing it will likely be different. I see this as an extension of the world created in the book, not as a comparison.
Today's excerpts are from the paperback format of Public Anchovy #1 (Deep Dish Mystery 3), by Mindy Quigley.
Sonya Dokter, my sous chef and best friend, perched in the passenger's seat of our rented catering van, trying unsuccessfully to tune the radio to the weather report.
And here's an excerpt from page 56:
I turned to find myself face to face with the man who'd been talking to Jarka before the party, Count Victor von Creepazoid Whatshisname Jingleheimer Schmidt.
I have four chapters left to read, so I expect to finish it today or tomorrow and publish my review next week. For now, I'll say that I'm loving this book! I'd describe it as hauntingly cozy.
Let's talk about Fiona. She just had her 3 month mani and pedi. Unlike Bell, Fiona will not allow me to trim her claws. Only her vet or the technicians can do it. She has no problem with them. She's in and out in five minutes.
When she gets home, Bell always hisses at her. She used to hiss all day and even into the next day. This time she only hissed a few times and spent the rest of the day sulking. I don't know what her problem is. She does this even after they've both been to the vet for their annual checkups. I guess Bell is just displaying that "tortitude". Fiona used to get visibly depressed when Bell hissed at her, but now she just takes it in stride knowing her sister will eventually get over it.
In this picture, Fiona is chasing shadows. She's almost four years old and she's only now discovering how cool they are. It's become quite an obsession.
We've had very little snow so far this winter. I've put in my order for more. We've had the cold weather, just not the precipitation when it's cold. I'm hoping that changes soon because I love snow.
