Ice cream and current reading

( What's my Ice Cream flavor? )

If I can't have all the chocolate ice cream, why bother?

Deep Sea Detectives is back on History Channel. They ran a bunch of older episodes today, including a few ones I hadn't seen, like the Edmund Fitzgerald and the Andrea Doria. Tonight's episode focuses on the Queen of Nassau, a a Canadian warship turned into a passenger vessel that sank off the Florida Keys in the 1920s. On that front, I had bought Shadow Divers by Robert Kurson about a German U-boat found sixty miles off the coast of New Jersey. The divers are the initial hosts of Deep Sea Detectives, John Chatterton and Richie Kohler. Although they interact jovially on the show, they apparently hated each other when they first worked together.

I'm also finally reading Charles Todd's Ian Rutledge series, featuring a shell shocked WWI veteran. I'm halfway through the first book Test of Wills. The descriptions are extremely vivid. Todd is occasionally guilty of a little head hopping. Most of the book is from Rutledge's POV, but every once in awhile, he abruptly shifts to a POV from one of the other characters.

I also heard from Books for America today. They'll be picking up my two bags of books tomorrow.
