Good Reads: Invisible Prey

Invisible Prey by John Sandford

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I'm beginning to love the Prey series. Sandford never runs out of fresh ideas. He gives his readers a chance to look into a killer's mind.



The story of 'number 17' revolves around a couple of antiques, a husband-and-wife team, with the funny name of Big and Little and how they kill old people and making it appear as if everything is purely accidental. Nothing surprising in the ending: good guys always win. However, I find the sub-plot about the erring Senator Burt Kline totally unnecessary.

good finds

We all love to discover something new: a hidden shop or cafe; a too-good-to-pass treasure; a rustic eating place great for a romantic dinner date.

More than the search, we look forward to the adventure, the surprise, the twinkle in the eye. It's like a treasure map leading us to places still uncovered.

When Skid grows up...

Skid has a shirt that goes like this....WHEN I GROW UP I WANT TO BE A FIRE TRUCK

Bong and I find it so funny that most of the time, this 'blooper' shirt ends up as his outfit when going to bed. Hence, we call it his favorite shirt.


So when we got the chance, we took a picture of him beside a 'real' fire truck


and bought him a wooden fire truck with a fireman Fred and a fire dog Red. Can't wait for the time he is able to play with it.

Amici ATC Branch

An impromptu date at ATC to try the new branch of Amici.

We ordered Cannelloni agli Spinachi as our entree. Love the generous helpings of ricotta cheese. It goes well with the grilled spicy Italian sausages which has the tang of balsamic vinegar and steamed veggies on the side.

For dessert, we ordered the chocolate mint and New York cheesecake flavored-gelato. The former is our current favorite but we can't wait to try the other flavors. They all look so yummy! Love their attractive display tubs.

Compared to traditional ice cream, gelato has less air and less the fat making it a healthier alternative to the sinful and creamy version. Party tubs are also available making it a great dessert to go.

Taking a bite at four months

Skid's first tooth erupted and he acquired the habit of gnawing on things. He enjoys the teeter when it's ice cold


but he enjoys taking a bite of Mom's arm even more. We love this shot! Skid looks surprised, being caught on cam.

I would love to get hold of this

a third-generation Kindle device which is 21% smaller and 15% lighter than its predecessor. Love its graphite color.

Reviews say that this version has 50% better contrast and you can even change the fonts and typeface. Internal memory is expanded from 2GB to 4GB, which Amazon says translates into 3500 books (up from 1500) WOWOWEE! With a one-month battery life, this gadget is definitely on the wishlist of a bookworm like me.

Disconnected

Unable to post entries for more than a month. Internet connection was down. Skid had a change of nannies. Busy with work and home. Required to report at the office first day of September.

Will catch up with my blogging. Out of touch for so long.
