Sunday Check In - Where are you? - 2018

Because it's a classic. It's In Cold Blood. So I am thinking it's me. And it fits so many Zodiac things I have no other read for.
Also, there is a lot of cleaning to get the house back to normal after the building works. And it's hard to read when the place is covered in plaster dust. But ...
Maybe it gets better?

I'm wanting to find work building a cathedral in 12th century England, but my pig was stolen and I've ended up killing the thief...I'm also in 1930s Portugal and find myself married to Antonio who has a lover - Pedro, and I'm going to have to deal with this complex relationship...

Sure, just head over, we have two spare bedrooms and summer has started!
Lisa wrote: "Are you in a reading slump, Sandra? Or has real life gotten in the way?"Life is getting in the way. Terribly getting in the way. I also admit that since I have so little time for reading I have been very, very picky about what I read. Still, I am reading The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse and enjoying it.

What about filling moving boxes in central PA?
I'm in Greece with Peggy and Lisa. And in Little No Horse, waiting for Sandra to find her way there. I'm also holed up in a tunnel in the Blackmountain reading these other two books so when I'm finished them, I can focus on what lies ahead in these tunnels.
I'm with the gang in the ancient Greece and also in an alternate England defending against Napoleon.4@Mariab - what a sad little post!

I completely understand, Sandra. Prior to this book, I hadn’t picked up anything for a week and a half. Just busy and maybe a bit of a slump for me. When I finally had down time, I was too tired to pick anything up.
I was in the Pacific Northwest on Bainbridge Island most of the day, reading my grandmother's diary.This evening, I have been in a small beach town in Mississippi in 1952.
Another week's plans:Volesthorpe, England
Pennsylvania
China
Mariabronn, Germany

Chicago. "I’ve heard all sorts of things about a kiss (melting, fireworks, music), but no one ever told me it’s a conversation: asking, accepting, deciding, inviting, giving . . . "
Tri-locating today! I'm in Georgian London right now and probably will be for another couple of weeks, later I will be in Outer Space and before I go to sleep I will pay a visit to Ancient Greece to commune with the Gods! Busy Sunday :-D
I am in Oklahoma, 2045, but at the same time spending lot of time inside a video game set in the 80s.
I'm running around after Indians in Midwest in the 1870's (sorry, they are called Indians in the book, but this is of course for the Native American task). Also in Indonesia getting drenched because it's the rainy season. And finally somewhere in Belgium - I think the last location was Ghent - during WWI.
Lisa wrote: "I haven't read a thing for days so I am still in Ancient Greece."Stay a while and wallow - I wish I was still there lol
Actually now that I look at my previous message, I realize that all the books I listed there are either for the yearly Zodiac challenge or the May flower challenge.

I'm building a cathedral in the U.K. and headed to Harlem in New York City to discover slam poetry - I'm kinda torn!
I am at a very dull dinner party meeting my fiancés family. I have a feeling the dinner will end in tragedy. I think someone put poison in the soup. Was it me?
