vamysteryfan It's rainy today, but that makes it good reading weather. I find myself fascinated by essay collections this week. I'd finished Ursula K. Le Guin's Words Are My Matter and liked it so I picked up her No Time To Spare: Thinking About What Matters. I also finished The World is Waiting for You, a collection of graduation speeches by artists, activists, and authors. It was one of those books into which I slipped little pieces of paper to mark certain sentences. I may share my collection :)
I also read a collection of four short stories by P.D. James, The Mistletoe Murder and Other Stories. Three of the stories are set at Christmas time and two feature Adam Dalgliesh. She consciously harkens back to the Agatha Christie era, with great effect. There's even a locked library murder.
I went to a neat event at the DC Japan Cultural Center. I learned a lot about tea and traditional Japanese sweets. I'm so lucky to live where these events are readily available.
I watched the season finale of The librarians and I have to say I was disappointed. Hanging the final half of the season on the Darrington Dare episode wasn't a good idea. They took such care with time travel in the final episode of the second season. It was a real disappointment that they used a "magic toaster" to solve all the issues in this one.
