![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!!

Excerpts from a day in the life of Howling Duck Ranch.com weblog
This is the blog for our little farm in Skagit county. Here we have Shetland sheep and Nigerian Dwarf goats. In addition we have donkeys, llamas, cattle, pigs, chickens, geese, and peafowl. The blog describes the weekly activities here.
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.
