Sue Grafton is the author of a book series I’ve read throughout the years. Her novels, revolving around the private detective, Kinsey Millhone, spanned the alphabet — “A is for Alibi,” “F is for Fugitive,” and so on. I just finished “X” and sadly, it is the worst of the lot. Slow and boring with no real plot, the abrupt ending tied a ribbon around the nothingness.
Her “W is for Wasted” book should’ve had THIS book’s content instead! This book was so bad, I’m not sure I even want to purchase the audiobook “Y is for Yesterday” to finish out the alphabet (Sue Grafton died of cancer at aged 77 before writing “Z is for Zero”), or just call it a wrap.
In keeping with “WORST,” that specific word describes Merida perfectly. She is truly the worst hound dog I’ve ever had the pleasure of owning. Not “worst” to indicate she’s not loved more than she deserves… but “worst” in that she’s constantly doing something BAD.
She looks all innocent… but it’s a trick, you guys.
Allow me to provide a typical Merida escapade — I warmed up pasta we had for dinner as a late night snack, took 1/2 and left the other 1/2 for Perry. Before he could walk to the kitchen, Merida got on the counter and gobbled it down! In the process, the bowl got stuck under a chair so she rearranged the dining area. All this in less than 2 short minutes.
My homemade mini cherry pies (YES! Alisa will be so proud!), were back far enough on the counter they survived. These tasty creations do NOT have anything to do with “worst!” Believe it or not, they were amazing! 🙂
TIL (Today I Learned): In 2015, a plane made an emergency landing after the crew received an indication of smoke in the cargo hold. It turns out to be caused by the 2,186 sheep farting onboard.
