![The Guests on South Battery (Tradd Street) by [White, Karen]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51Da2%2B3P-ML._SY346_.jpg)
The Guests on South Battery , a novel by one of my favorite authors, has done it again! This is another novel of mystery, suspense, drama and some comedy mixed in! I read it in three days and had a really hard time putting it down, like most of her books. Karen White is truly a gifted writer and I’m so glad I found her to entertain myself!!
I'm a country girl from the western part of Virginia in a small community of New Castle/Craig County. I've lived in Craig all my life-eighteen years with my parents and siblings and forty + years with my wonderful husband.
We have two children, a boy and a girl, and two grandchildren, all of which we love very much. We live on a 500 acre+ farm that has been in my husbands family for over 200 years. We are raising beef cattle, chickens, rabbits and a couple dogs.. We grow pretty much all we eat or harvest from the farm and I can't imagine living anywhere else.
I love to create, craft, quilt, read, write, decorate, crochet, candlewick, bake, bow hunt, cook, garden, farm animals and walking/hunting in the woods. I love sharing our home with family and friends.
I hope you enjoy the posts that I enter on my blog and hopefully will be helpful and/or fun to all that read it.
The Art of Living
This site is about my life as a farmgirl, wife, mother and grandmother and the things I love to do. I've been married to the same man that I love for 40+ years. We have two beautiful adult children and one granddaughter. We pretty much live off of our farm by raising our food or hunting for it. My blog is a day to day walk-through of our life.

Never heard of this author. I will check here at the library re; the author.
Yep K.White’s books are here on the shelves including the one that you mention above! Well that was a surprise for me.
I have read your recent farm up dates – cattle, wood, ducks etc.
Of them all, the ducks are the easiest to look after, they are pretty independent creatures. Just make sure the foxes and feral other unpleasant ‘duck eating/killing’ for fun creatures can’t get at them.
Thanks for the reply re: my travelling family – it is in our blood.
Unfortunately due to my back problems I am grounded as when you travel overseas health insurance is a must, unless you are stark raving mad!
I can’t get health insurance, I am unfortunately too much of a risk.
Still I have done all my travelling when I was young, fit and able so I guess I shouldn’t whinge – anyhow no one takes any notice – ha ha!
Only now wish that I had gone on one of my US trips via South America – Santiago, Buenos Aires and Rio. It was just a bit more in costs and there are direct flights ex: Sydney to Santiago (Chile) and Buenos Aires (Argentina) with Lan Chile Airlines, Qantas and Air New Zealand to choose from.
Lan Chile flies to quite a few US cities so that would be the choice for travel.
Pity about your recent colds and the unco-operative bloody weather.
Here we still are in SUMMER and it is 1/2 through Autumn!
Rain is badly needed for the farming community. It is a sad state of affairs I can assure you.
Cheers to Eddie and family members

Didn’t we already read this? You paid a crazy amount of money for it. You didn’t rebuy it? Did you finally read it?

I finally got to read it and Heather bought it for me for Christmas last year. I’m reading her book Spinning the Moon now.

I don’t think I’ve read any of her books, but I just put a hold on this one at my library (audiobook). Hopefully it will be available by the time I finish the one I have now! I seldom find time to read a “real” book any more, but I always have an audiobook in my car for the commute! Thanks for the recommendation.

Most of my reading is audio as well but this one was a “for real” book. This book is #5 in a series. The House On Trade Street is the first of the series but I think you’ll still like it.
