MURDERER!!!! MURDER MURDER!! I found a new love. Ha.. odd beginning huh? Well, let me tell you about my new favorite thing. There are two big box hardware stores in my town, and each have a garden center. I went to the first one the other day looking for mulch and I ran across a cart filled with plants that have definitely seen better days, but were not a dead. All they really needed was a little TLC. I asked the cashier if they were discounted, and she told me no, and they vendor just throws them out. What a waste! (side note: I just found a tiny dead fly in my coffee that is only half empty. I took the fly out, but do I waste the coffee?). After not finding exactly what I wanted at the first store I went to the second and I found TREASURE! Two racks of clearance plants. One was a cute little cypress that looked perfectly good, and was half off. YESH!!! Get in my cart little fella! Normally a $50 plant, and I got him for $25. I also picked up four cute little flowers in festive Christmas pots for $3 each, normally $8. I was flying high. Even hubby was a bit giddy about the score. The problem is, now I have an addiction. I want more clearance plants. This could get to be a real big problem for me, but not one to solve right now. (I threw out the coffee. There could be a little fly leg left behind…ew)

It’s high summer, and London sizzles in the grip of a heatwave. But when the body of young mother, Leanne Wyatt, is discovered in an East London park, the heat rises to boiling point for D.I. Matthew Denning. Under pressure to solve the case, and fast, he delves into Leanne’s history and finds that she was close to some dangerous individuals – could one of them have taken her life in an angry rage? But when another woman is found dead in similar circumstances, Denning is forced to consider that a killer stalks the capital’s streets.

Rabbit Moon: A Navajoland Mystery (Marin Sinclair Series Book 1)
by Jan D Payne
Genre: Religion & Spirituality | History | United States
FREE for a limited time
Everyone says you can’t go back home, but Dinetah, the Navajo Nation, is a place Marin Sinclair feels she has no right to claim as home. There are dark memories for her there, most of them wrapped up in the struggle to reconcile an Anglo worldview with that of the Navajo culture. She doesn’t expect that responding to a plea from a long ago Dineh friend will put her life in jeopardy, but Navajoland was ever a place to hold mysteries. The mystery now is what about her life then would make someone want to kill her?
Sgt. Justin Blue Eyes of the Navajo Nation Police shares a connection with Marin from the past, and he has the same question plus a few, including why the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission would send a top government agent to investigate the abandoned uranium mines on Navajo tribal lands — mines that in the past exposed hundreds of Native American miners to cancer-causing radiation. But first he needs to find Marin, and it looks like she has gone off the grid — on her own in the Lukachukai mountains with a killer close behind.

The Histories
by Herodotus
Genre: History
FREE for a limited time
One of the masterworks of Western civilization from the Ancient Greek author and orator known as the “Father of History.”
Written in the fifth century BC, The Histories is a wide-ranging inquiry into the Greco-Persian Wars and beyond. Factual accounts of military matters on land and at sea, commanders, governments, and rulers are juxtaposed with Greek mythology. As inspiring to travel writers and journalists as it is to historians, this epic work includes a wealth of geographical and ethnographical information on the Middle East, Northern Africa, and Greece. It remains one of the West’s most important sources regarding the ancient world.
“To transfer the responsibility for events away from heaven and squarely on to mortals may seem, two and half thousand years on, an obvious task, but in so doing Herodotus fundamentally changed the way that humans look at the world — and that is why Cicero called him the father of history.” — The Guardian
“We may no longer share Herodotus’ view of the past, yet we delight in the richness of the world he sketched. Its stories, landscapes, characters, and insights into human nature linger long after the reading. What makes the work stand out above all is the Histories’ sense of wonder and discovery. Herodotus’ Histories remain a classic testament to the pleasures of researching and learning.” — The Conversation
