The Sassy Sleuth

Hey Sleuths! So I did a bit of investigative research and asked 32 people around me if they use a daily planner and how do they use it?  These are the results: *Clears throat for effect* 24 said that they do use a planner but of those 24 only 19 stick to using a planner 'cos the other 5 felt like writing down plans was a tedious chore.  "Hmmm, interesting," I pondered.  While the number 32 is a drop in the ocean compared to millions and millions of people who do use a planner and some who use it but in a redundant way, my investigation still reflected people's thoughts on using a notebook to jot down tasks.  This simply means that there are people who don't use a planner (shocking I know) and some who do but find it mundane.  All of this now brings me back to me and what I think of using a planner.

It's called The Dead Ex.  But first, some background info: It all started when a book store opened up at a mall near me, called Bargain Books. * Cue sound of violins playing ever so melodically.* Bargain Books, as I learnt that fateful day, sells a variety of fiction and non-fiction books, by well-known and not so well-known authors at VERY affordable costs. To me that is the equivalent of eating Swiss chocolate and a medley of cheese and red wine…EVERDAY! (Like seriously, it cannot get any better than that!) Anyway, I walked into Bargain Books, spent thre

Katy was always drawn to the unknown, especially her love for space and the stars. Maybe it was because for her, mystery was magnetic...in a sexy way. Like her neighbour Josh, who had moved in a month ago. He didn't make an attempt to introduce himself to anyone in the area but not in an impolite way. He kept to himself and the only time Katy saw him out the house was when he went to gym and work. Other than that all she, and the other neighbours knew about him, was his name. But Katy brushed that aside for now. She clicked on her phone and opened up her favourite blog to read about one of the most interesting questions asked by curious minds. Katy began to read...
