OK...
Here's what I read this week:
The Calling by Amber FoxxMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was an excellent and well-written book, with a fantastic cast of characters. There was less mystery than one might expect to find in the first book of a series where the word "mystery" actually appears in the series name, which is why I hesitate to give it the full five stars. Still, it was an enjoyable read, and I look forward to continuing the series. Perhaps, as I continue the series, the mystery of the presence of the word "mystery" in the series name will be revealed?
Shaman's Blues by Amber FoxxMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Having enjoyed book one, I was eager to read this book. I was not disappointed. In fact, this second book in the series is even better than the first, since it actually involves more of the mystery aspect the series title led me to expect.
As for what I've been watching:
I managed to watch two DVDs this week. I watched the final disk of season seven of NCIS. I also watched the "Incredibles 2" movie. Since it was a new to me movie, I've reviewed it below.
Incredibles 2 (2018 movie):
This was a really great movie. It's action-packed, often entertaining, and also contains some touching scenes. If you enjoyed the first movie, you'll enjoy this one too. I give this movie five out of five stars.

You're a fast reader! You'd better stock up for your surgical recovery!

Don't worry. I have plenty of books on my Kindle. I'm not in danger of running out of things to read any time soon. ;)
Some of the "cozy" mystery books are slower moving as far as the mysteries go and get more into the character development, especially in the beginning. Sounds like it was better as you went along to the second one. :)
Rita:
Yeah. The first one was more about character development and the spiritual aspects of the series than the mystery side of things. But the second one actually had a real mystery to figure out, even while continuing the theme of the first, so felt like a more satisfying read. Same goes for the third (which you'll see a review of in next week's post).
