Weekend Links

 Happy almost August!  (ugh, where did the summer go??)  It's been crazy here, with the day job at its busiest and a book launch coming next week (Death Comes to Santa Fe, third in my 1920s mystery series!!!).  Hope you are staying cool and getting your reading in.  

 Speaking of reading, here's a few fun links I've found lately.  Enjoy!
