The people showed up in the streets for "No Kings."

They did their part.

The people showed up at the polls on Tuesday.

They did their part.

8 Democrats in the Senate surrendered last night.

They did not do their part.

OK, Santa, I've decided what I want for Christmas. I want a #carry-on suitcase like this, with Tardis properties, that never weighs more than 10 pounds no matter how much I stuff in it. Thanks, big guy.

Wonderful! Hope you enjoy it.

Quote from BLOOD SYMPATHY by Reginald Hill

Every week in my Substack I share quotes that have caught my fancy. Here's one, from British crime writer Reginald Hill:

What did I love? The notion that someone who write, not one, but an entire series of travel guides about towns nobody wants to visit.

We need more like this! He didn't let the question frame the narrative, instead he told it like it really is.

Quote from THE PAINTED QUEEN by Elizabeth Peters and Joan Hess

Every week I pull out an interesting quote (or two or three) from what I'm reading. This one is interesting because of the narrator's opinion about what's "normal" on the streets of Cairo.

Moving from summer into cooler weather is something I always fight against. Now I concede. I've lost the battle this year. Two days ago I put away my shorts and pulled out the jeans. Today it's a long-sleeved shirt. Sigh.

The Christmas Market Murder cover

#AmReading: THE CHRISTMAS MARKET MURDER by Peter Boland. Fiona, Partial Sue, and Daisy are back! The Christmas Market is attracting visitors to town despite the sicko who's prowling the streets attacking lone walkers. Layered, witty, and clever.
