    Sunday Check In - Where are you?
    
  
   I just finished up on an island in Sweden, and the University of Tennessee, where we are trying to work out an "acceptable" way by our prudish societal norms on how to compost human bodies.
      I just finished up on an island in Sweden, and the University of Tennessee, where we are trying to work out an "acceptable" way by our prudish societal norms on how to compost human bodies.On that note, I noticed the apricot tree we planted on top of our duck in March has fruit on it today in October. Yay for useful, memorable, compost.

The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell. It's a gothic ghost story and it's really good so far.

I'm interested - what's the book Rusalka?

I tried to read it a couple of years ago and gave up because I wasn't enjoying it. I still have it on my TBR pile but I'm unsure whether I will give it another go.

To be honest Lisa if it hadn't been for annual challenge I would have abandoned it. It picks up a little about half was though so I gave it 3 stars - 2.5 really ;-)
 I gave Let the Right One in 4 stars. I hated the bullying in it. I had such an emotional response to it.

     The bullying was hard to listen too. Apart from Oskar though, I had no response to any character or event.

 I'm with Meg Corey in Massachusetts. She's found another body on her property. This time in her Orchard's Spring House. Smells like someone is Rotten to the Core.

   I changed my mind. I'm going to visit Dorothy Gale, in Kansas. It is feeding time, and the pigs know it.

 I am in Natchez, MS now to discover what the ghostly goings-on in Misses An'gel and Dickce's old friend old Antebellum. We've stumbled onto a body and must sift through the family's haunted history.
