Thankfully I have had lots of energy this summer to keep up with the kids.  
I  have answered many questions, some of which took me by surprise.

“Get down off the ledge, you’re going to get hurt.”

Harper’s Island

Am I the only one who got hooked on Harper’s Island?

It sounded like a good murder mystery…something fun for the end of the year.  
OMG!  Did anyone else think it was bloody?
