Shelby’s List of Three Things She Wants To Do on Her Next Visit

Shelby gave me a list of three things she wants to do the next time she visits Phoenix:

1).  Eat a BIG Bowl of spumoni ice cream at Mary Coyles.

2).  By a bell at the Consanti Foundation.

3).  Go camping in the Chiricahua National Monument.

I endorse all three of these plans !

 

 

So what have I been reading lately?

While vacationing with my niece is SE Arizona, I found time to read.

New original mass market mystery paperback: Through a Glass, Deadly by Sarah Atwell.  Takes place in the Tucson warehouse area ( a growing artist colony).  The mystery features a female glass artist and one learns a lot about the art of glass blowing. 

Amimee & David Thurlo feature Navajo Police officer Ellah Clah’s mother- Rose in Plant Them Deep.   Rose is a “traditional” Navajo who also loves herbology and plant lore.  She becomes involved with a mystery surrounding the theft of medicinal plants from the reservation.  This book is interesting on many levels and I highly recommend it.

Her Royal Spyness by Rhys Bowen features a “minor” royal character in 1930 London.  Cameo appearances by Queen Mary, The Prince of Wales and Mrs. Simpson make this an anglo-phile’s delight !
