Beth Groundwater's Book Giveaway

Drop in at Beth's blog to get the exact instructions, but basically all you have to do to enter is sign up to follow her blog as well as Midnight Ink's blog, Inkspot. Can't get much easier than that. Beth writes the Claire Hanover gift basket mysteries as well as her new series featuring Mandy Tanner, whitewater river ranger.

What I'm Reading

I'm well into The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. Dick. This is alternative history (what if Japan and Germany had won World War II) with a bit of sci fi in the mix. It's both fascinating and disturbing.
