It’s summer and it’s hot. I went on a Netflix binge and got through all available episodes of “Bones”. It’s not a bad show, but I never watched the show until this binge because it’s so different from the books. The show doesn’t do the books justice.

If only he just had one special friend.

Leaps In the Dust
One day. 500 pages and it all happens in one long day. There are two short chapters covering the final weeks at the very end of Patricia Cornwell’s Dust, but almost the entire book is one day. Kay Scarpetta wakes early one morning shortly before Christmas to her pager calling her to a murder scene. The picture of the victim is oddly reminiscent of three murders her husband is currently out of town investigating. They work for different organizations though and can’t really share info (nevermind […]
