Thank Goodness for Nap Time

I finished I Dreamed I Married Perry Mason Susan Kandel today after waking from my post mid shift nap. I don't like to sleep all day after my last mid shift or I'll be up all night and my schedule is thrown off. So I slept a couple of super nice hours, woke and read to finish my bedside book. This is a very enjoyable cozy series. I love CeCe's sense of adventurous style in clothing, her family and friends, her choice of writing career, her men, her house, everything is fab (apparently my new favorite word).
I began Gallows View: An Inspector Banks Mystery Peter Robinson. It's the first in the series (challenge books!) and I am already looking forward to the rest of the books.
From the Publisher (thank you B&N):
Former London policeman Alan Banks relocated to Yorkshire seeking some small measuer of peace. But depravity and violence are unfortunately not unique to large cities. His new venue, the quaint little village of Eastvale, seems to have more than its fair share of malefactors--among them a brazen Peeping Tom who hides in night's shadows spying on attractrive, unsuspecting ladies as they prepare for bed. And when an elderly woman is found brutally slain in her home, Chief Inspector Banks wonders if the voyeur has increased the awful intensity of his criminal activities. But whether relatied or not, perverse local acts and murderous ones are combining to profoundly touch Banks's suddenly vulnerable perosonal life, forcing a dedicated law officer to make hard choices he'd dearly hoped would never be necessary.
