June 2nd and regardless of what the calendar insists, summer is here in North Carolina. I mean sticky, humid, ninety degree days summer. My background is Scandinavian and I'm not a fan of summer. But every cloud has a silver lining and staying indoors just means more reading time. I'm still working on reading all the anthologies I have and just finished a great one by Laurie Notaro. It was my first read by her and that's one of the joys of reading; discovering another author you love. I also went on a James Ellroy buying spree this month. Here's what's come through the door:
