Oct 2023

into 2nd book of the Dixie Hemingway series by Blaize Clement, Duplicity Dogged the Dauchsund, and 3rd Even Cat Sitters get the Blues which had a big iguana named Ziggy.
Goofy titles, but great read, funny, thoughtful, beautiful descriptions of Florida fauna and flora. Again, next book on order from my little library. Currently reading Run by Ann Patchett, getting interesting.

Side note on author Blaize Clement: Just when I decided she sounds like a Democrat and someone I could be friends with, my research showed sadly that she died a few years ago and the last 3 books in the series was co-written by her son. Book #3 makes a reference in passing about, "...well that's several things that would be illegal in a Republican state!" SCORE!
