What Time Is It And What Are You Doing?
Ow. That's even harder on you, then. So you could probably relate to the scheduling problems encountered by the staff at THE COOKIE JAR in the Joanne Fluke Hannah Swensen series and the staff at FAIRY TALE CUPCAKES in the Jenn MacKinlay series. Cover art from both series can be seen in thumbnail format here: https://www.goodreads.com/user_challe...DARK CHOCOLATE DEMISE is the most recent for the crew at Old Town Scottsdale's FAIRY TALE CUPCAKES and DOUBLE FUDGE BROWNIE MURDER is the most recently published in the Hannah Swensen series (that one's on page 5 of the list).
haven't read any of those yet Amber, but I will be now! Thanks for the suggestion.And you are doing well on your 2015 challenge!

It was very misty travelling but cleared when we reached the coast. For most of the day it was grey but fine, though it was drizzling on the way home but nowhere near cold enough for snow, thank goodness!

It is 14.03 pm here in NZ Amber.....but yes, most of my days involve overtime, and I work 7 days a week. Such are the joys of owning your own hospitality business. Looking forward to Christmas Day though when we are shut for the day!
