So how did everyone spend earth hour? I was a little confused (what else is new) and thought it was 8-9 p.m. when in fact it was 8:30 to 9:30p.m. so I've added another hour on to the no lights zone. I had made a tea and brownie prior and sat down to do nothing only to find my tea cold and brownie untouched. I guess my brain said no lights, must be time to sleep. My neck is a little crooked today.
Beyond that, Sunday Salon finds me "FINALLY" finished In The Woods, Tana French. It took me almost a month to read that book, not that it was not good, but I just found some of the parts a little TOO disturbing for me at this point in my life. I was stumped as to "who dunit" until well into the book. I really hate the statistics that show it might have been one of the parents. At any rate, In The Woods, was a mystery/thriller, in every sense of the description. Story set in Ireland, against the backdrop of political intrigue (minor element) and missing/murdered children, and a detective team that are very unusual. I truly had hoped that there would have been a resolution to the underlying mystery, but the conclusion was well played anyway.
My week has been the usual, I'm on March break this week, and the basement is calling. I was hard at it yesterday, on the ladder, and the phone just didn't stop, it wasn't until I finally fell reaching for it that I said, "NO MORE CALLS". My arm is a little sore and my back quite sore. Today is Palm Sunday so there will be no housework. My youngest is a little under the weather so I'll be pampering him. No idea what else. Maybe some Advil and a rest. Up next on the reading front is " The Burning Air,' Erin Kelly.

Now that I've been seeing Tana French books everywhere, I really must read some.
In the Woods sounds intriguing...especially when you put a face to the characters!
Here's MY SUNDAY SALON POST
Hope today is a restful day for you! I hope to finish a book today as well unless the phone rings ;).
Well darn, I missed Earth hour this year - I guess I can just observe it on my own one day.
Oh no, I missed Earth Hour. :( Not a word about it on the news this year.
For Earth Hour, dear Irene, I was on the earth, trusting in the One Who created it. That is all. God will keep the sphere spinning as long as He deems fit. We humans cannot alter His plan for the planet.
Well I'm glad you liked In the Woods even if you weren't quite in the mood for it. Interesting casting choices. Not sure I see Demi Moore as Cassie AT ALL! Was that what you were saying?
