I haven’t but it looks good!

[Tina]

I hope to be back for September's read. Found a couple titles that look good in addition to the one NicoleG posted.

Here's one. Has that old mansion vibe about it.

"Georgie is pulled into a du Maurier-like murder in this all-new installment in the New York Times bestselling Royal Spyness series from Rhys Bowen!"

Going in next week, PI's. I'll let you know how it goes. ;-)

[PugMom]

I haven't read any of the Royal Spyness books but I do own the first one. I'm hoping i can get to it soon.

[Tina]

Out after procedure, recouping at home. Will join you as soon as I feel somewhat something again. lol? :-/

[Tina]

Good thing I've some great viewing to keep me from being totally bored. The Alienist, second season is out and aired. Wow! Second season better than first if one can imagine. Based on Caleb something or other's best sellling books. Great cast, not a cozy but has cozy elements about it. Also, Endeavor's new season is out. Loving it. Can't wait 'til I'm feeling whole again but the above is sustaining me.

[Nicole]

I love Lady Georgie! I’m up for that one. Sending you a hug, Tina, I hope all is well! 😀

[Mark Pghfan]

I'm up for Lady Spyness. I think we did a Christmas one a few years ago.

[Nicole]

What's September, PIs? :D

[Tina]

Hey, PI's Getting through it. You wouldn't believe...well you might. Anyway, I bought copy of new Royal Spyness & if you're up for this title in Sept., I'll be as well. If you've chosen something else, that's okay too.

Stranger than fiction & all in a few weeks: Car's power steering needed repairing, washer died, hospital lost my co-pay & was calling for $ while I was in hospital (waiting on hard copy from bank to send to hospital as printer doesn't work. Of course). You'd think cameras show I was there paying on something (hospital won't let you in unless you've appt. for pre-screening, payment), procedure, then recovery worse than--, bronchitis in hospital; had to immediately go on antibiotics to keep from going deep in lungs, bank account hacked...they're seeing if I get $ returned to acct., AC just went yesterday & needed repairs. YIKES! No, none of this is made up. Unbelievable but true! Now to catch up.

Photo shoot I'm s'pose to be scouting locations, costumes to order, permits, insurance, photog coming in from out of state, first time hiring from a talent agency, contracts, etc. Would love to move this to Oct. (did not anticipate all the hoo-ha) but things are locking in for Sept. Nothing a good lotto win wouldn't help fix. lo?l

[Tina]

This too shall pass! Thanks for everything, PI's.

[Nicole]

Yikes, Tina! Sending all sorts of positive vibes your way!!! ❤️

[Mark Pghfan]

Wow! A perfect storm, indeed!

I'm fine with the Spyness. What is the title and I'll try to locate it.

[Nicole]

I think it’s The Last Mrs. Summers. Is this correct, Tina?

[PugMom]

I think I'll have to read the 1st Spyness book first. I have it on my Kindle so I will try to get it read quickly then see if I can get the new one!

[Tina]

Yep, it is, Nicole. :-)

Nicole, digging my way out. My poor Calico Girl recently turned 19 and has a vet appt. Not sure where that's gonna go. :-/

Thank you, Pghfan. Appreciate you and the PI's keeping the shop open and well maintained.

[Mark Pghfan]

It looks like $25 in hardcover and $14 on Kindle. Too rich for my blood. Sorry.

[Nicole]

I just noticed that The Last Mrs. Summers is Amazon's Deal of the Day (9/13) at $1.99!!!

[Mark Pghfan]

I'm glad you found this! I bought it and will start it and try to catch up with the discussion.

WOW!! That is a great deal, Nicole! Thanks!!

So glad you're able to join, Pghfan. I felt bad-- But Nicole saves the day...er, discussion.

No hurry catching up, Mark. Actually, you may surpass me. ;-) Enjoy the read. It's a good one...IMHO.

[PugMom]

Hey all! Is anyone interested in reading Rebecca in the upcoming months? I wanted to watch the new Netflix movie and thought reading it along with watching it would be fun. Or a side read if you just want to watch the new movie.

[Tina]

New movie? Do tell, NicoleG. Is it a 2019-20? The last one I've seen had Diana Rigg, Charles Dance (I believe) and Darcy's charge, actress from P & Prej. If there's a more recent adaptation, I want in. lol

A read & discuss of Rebecca would be fine IMHO.

[PugMom]

Yes, it just came out on Netflix. I'm not a fan of the lead actress but I love the story so much.

OH, I need to find the version with Diana Rigg. Didn't she recently pass away?

Yes, she did, NicoleG. The natural progression of life...stinks! :-(

Wow! This looks good. Hope I can get it on DVD as I don't belong to Netflix. Thanks, NicoleG!!

You probably can unless it's a Netflix only movie. Or you can get a free trial!

[Tina]

I'll look around, NicoleG! Thanks!

[Tina]

Gang, just seen AT&T guy out for we had problems with our phone/internet etc. He tells me they're doing away with Dish and Cable and replacing them with app. Great! I down-loaded just one app and now get a deluge of ads. I can imagine what it'll be like on TV. Nice when you're trying to read something important and ads start flying around your material. I don't look forward to 5G and wonder if all companies are going to this? Even if it's off in the distance a while, I'd buy that time.

Any of you gone 5G? Do tell.

[Nicole]

I have Verizon. No ads.

[Fairlee]

hi new here. I m Fairlee in TX. currently reading-Murder of a Pink Elephant-Denise Swanson. Happy tojoin all of you

[Mark Pghfan]

Hello, Fairlee!

We are a small but active group. Typically we discuss a book a month.

Welcome aboard!

[Tina]

Hey, Fairlee, welcome to The Parlor. Glad to have you on board!

[Tina]

Nicole wrote: "I have Verizon. No ads."

Hmmm? Sounds great, Nicole. Will have to investigate that one. Thanks! ;-)

[Tina]

New mystery coming in Jan 2021 (think it's on pbs). Miss Scarlet mysteries. I don't know if it's a mini-series or six individual mysteries? Wonder if it's based on the mystery we read here at The Parlor. Anyone know? Anyway, it looks good!

[Tina]

PI's, all to be well that ends well. :-) Had more tests and will be going in for more medical attention. Thankfully, not the real intense situation that was a possibility but something a bit...much less in my estimation. Anyway, I will be here and probably will have more re-coop read time. Please send healing prayers, and healthy wishes my way. I'll keep you posted. Meantime, on with Qwill and his mystery.

[Mark Pghfan]

Tina, I'm so happy things are going well. I'm finding (or rather the doctor's are) more and more things wrong, now that I am a senior citizen!

For sure, Pghfan. It seems as little as a year ago, there were one or two doc trips a year. Now it's seems there's something going on on a monthly basis.

[PugMom]

Has anyone read this? It is described as a locked room mystery. Sounds interesting for a future read.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

[Tina]

It does sound interesting, NicoleG.

[Nicole]

I saw that and thought the same thing, Nicole!

[Mark Pghfan]

I'm a huge fan of Wodehouse as well as Christie (duh, obviously), and at $2.99 on kindle, I would be totally up for the book to discuss!

[PugMom]

Not a bad price. I’ll see if library has also.

[Tina]

Speaking of titles, I'd love to consider this one again (suggested for an after Christmas winter read), The Murder of Twelve A Jessica Fletcher mystery. I'll toss this one in for Jan.

[PugMom]

Hello, NicoleG (the other Nicole) here. Just wanted to let you know I chaged my display name to PugMom to match my blog name. Also, I just lost my precious Fur baby Pugsly so this name is also honoring him.

[Mark Pghfan]

Hello, PugMom. So sad hear of your pup. I know what that is like and it is so difficult.

Hugs across the miles, PugMom! So sorry to hear it and hope your heart heals quickly. I know how you must be feeling. Been there done that twice this year w/my 19+ year old "kitten kids." 2020, you've been particularly mean to us and we're leaving you behind SOON!! Be well, Nicole and sorry again for your loss.

[PugMom]

Thank you both for your kind words.
