Grey Brook Bedroom

 I love the butterfly scent holder I got for Christmas. I have Gardenia in it now and the kitchen smells heavenly.

 We painted our youngest son's room Grey Brook. It was one of the 2020 Colors of the Year from Valspar.
Grey Brook – This pale blue welcomes you into a space like a cozy warm blanket.
Design tip: This charming bluish gray works in perfect harmony with classic wood tones, creating a timeless space.
And I love the cordless shades we added. The are Levolor Natural Shades - Bay Weave Room Darkening - White

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I found it slow going and extremely sad. When his sister Savannah tries to commit suicide Tom Wingo travels to New York to support her. Leaving his wife and daughters behind in South Carolina. He soon becomes involved with Savannah's psychiatrist Lowenstein and recounts the story of his and Savannah's abusive childhood, their rape at the hands of escaped convicts and the tragic death of their older brother Luke.

Hall Closets

 I am very pleased with how these turned out Bo added a shelf to this closet. There is still room for my vacuum cleaner on the bottom.

He made these shelves wider so I can get more on them.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Clay Edison #2

Multiple shootings on Almond Street have Clay investigating two murders.

The first appears to be an accidental hit and run of a young trans man(by Meredith Klaar) as she fled the shooting. The second doesn't appear related to the shooting at all but is the strangulation of a young unidentified woman. Once Clay is able to identify the woman things start coming together and he eventually discovers her shooting is linked to the suicide of a former school mate.

His brother Luke gets married to Andrea. And Clay and Amy are expecting a baby.

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I would have liked it better if it hadn't constantly been switching back and forth between characters.

Wade signed away his rights to his daughters Easter (yes like the Holiday, who names their kid after a Holiday???) and Ruby Quillby but now he wants them back so he kidnaps them and goes on the run with them and the money he stole from a gangster. The gangster sent a hit man after him and the girls court appointed guardian Brady Weller is hot on their trail. But along the way Easter reconnects with her Father, so when he leaves them again after seeing them with Brady at the ballgame Easter is hurt but when Brady uses the girls to set a trap for them she warns her Dad off with the baseball signal he taught her.

Sent to live with their Grandparents in Alaska Wade sends a message to Easter telling her to stay on base.
