I finished my audiobook, Abby Collette&#8217;s <em>A Deadly Inside Scoop<\/em>. It was sort of a middle-of-the-road cozy about a young Black woman who stumbles over a dead body the same day she relaunches her family ice cream parlor. Her father ends up being the main suspect, so she and her BBC Mystery-loving best friend find themselves trying to clear him. I don&#8217;t know I&#8217;ll keep reading the series, but I&#8217;m glad I read the first one, particularly because BIPOC sleuths are hard to come by. I started George Saunders&#8217; <em>A Swim in a Pond in the Rain<\/em> because it&#8217;s overdue and I want to see if I should request it again, buy it, or just return it and give it no further psychic energy. (I need to read a few more pages before I can decide.) So that was where my print mojo went, rather than to the graphic novel, which is what I&#8217;d planned to finish.<\/p>\n<p>I did make it to all three Bout of Books Twitter chats (the two official and the bonus one), although only one of them did I arrive on time.
