7. In the cozy reading nook, I counted 5 cats and probably another hiding on the shelves.

Now reading Thomas Perry, The Butcher's Boy, first book in the series. Good read. "Murder has always been easy for the Butcher’s Boy—it’s what he was raised to do. But when he kills the senior senator from Colorado and arrives in Las Vegas to pick up his fee, he learns that he has become a liability to his shadowy employers. His actions attract the attention of police specialists who watch the world of organized crime, but though everyone knows that something big is going on, only Elizabeth Waring, a bright young analyst in the Justice Department, works her way closer to the truth, and to the frightening man behind it."

Lovely day to decorate for Halloween with pumpkins, mums, bats and little haunted houses, and then read. Enjoy.
