The Frame-up by Meghan Scott Molin

Meghan Scott Molin's The Frame-up is a fun, fast paced mystery that embraces the world of Geekdom. I loved the way Meghan casually tossed geek knowledge throughout the book while explaining things in a way that feels like a good friend has just let me in on the ubercool inside joke.



                                                  
Our main character is comic book writer/costume designer Michael-Grace Martin, who insists on being called MG because life is tough enough without being a girl called Michael all the time. She's spunky, funny, and a tad sarcastic. On a day when she's running late for work and the line at the coffee shop is long enough to make a man weep, she sees a picture of a crime scene that reminds her of a frame from an old classic comic. After she casually mentioned it to the hipster in front of her, she puts it out of her mind. That is, until the hipster turns out to be a cop who wants her help to him solve who is the "Golden Arrow". What MG didn't expect when she accepts is that she will be drawn into a decades old murder mystery, be framed as the "Golden Arrow", expose a corrupt cop/druglord, grow closer to her co-workers and fall in love with the Hipster cop who is totally not her type.

This book was a gem. I recommend it to anyone who is even just a little bit of a fangirl/fanboy. You don't want to miss it. Also, this book is going on my "Should be a Movie" list.

I have no idea what to write

That name pretty much explains itself, doesn't it? I can't seem to get all my thoughts together long enough to write something worth while. I was going to post a review on a lovely mystery I read but I can't seem to get it right.

I am not listening to any new music or audio books. I'm just..... me. I feel sort of like I'm in a creative limbo which sucks on so many different levels. I just can't seem to get it out on paper. Or digital paper.

Side note:  William Thackeray's middle name was, I tell you no lie, Makepeace. Why, oh, why torture your kid like that?

That is all for now.

This is what's up!

My mom and I are starting work on a novel. Whether it gets up and runs, we'll find out. I'm so excited!

Staring a new story is like getting to meet a new person. There is no other way for me to describe it. It's new, exciting, and more than a little stressful at times.

So if I seem distracted, this might be the reason why.

Ruelle

Margaret Eckford (born November 21, 1985), better known by her stage name Ruelle, is an American electropop singer-songwriter.Her music has been used on television series such as the opening theme songs of Dynasties (Game of Survival), Shadowhunters (This Is the Hunt), and The Shannara Chronicles (Until We Go Down).


 Born the middle child of three sisters, Eckford grew up in Hattiesburg, Mississippi and attended a private Christian high school. She attended music school in Sydney, Australia. Ruelle is now based in Nashville, Tennessee. She adopted the French word "Ruelle" as her stage name because she liked how it gave off a sense of darkness and mystery, and how it has multiple meanings, including "chamber" and "wolf".

I found her music so cathartic that I just had to blog about her. Music is below.

1. Recover

2. The Other Side

 3. Find You

4. Carry You

 I hope you all enjoyed that. As always, leave everything below.
