#Bookreview Featuring Strong Women, Return to Silverhills @Sandra_Cox #westernromance


After a stressful week it's soul-lifting to see signs of spring and gorgeous blue skies. My cat, Harley, (a Christmas gift from hubby eleven years ago) came down deathly sick. She wouldn't eat or drink and barely moved for three days. This was on Thursday night, so we couldn't even take her to the vet. …

Photo by 7inchs on Pexels.com Isn't this photo magical?

#BookReviews- Just a Regular Boy by Catherine Ryan Hyde, The Angel Maker @writer_north, Identity by Nora Roberts, The Maid’s Diary @loreth, Home Front by Kristin Hannah #readingCommunity


Spring was soooo close, then we got a rude Arctic outflow that brought below seasonal temps and some of the white stuff. I'm hoping it doesn't do too much damage to the tender buds, but we shall see. This week I'm catching up on a few NetGalley reviews and one from a local bestselling author …

#BookReviews- Variety is the Spice of Life @sgc58, The Lemon Sisters @JillShalvis, True Colors by Kristin Hannah #Reading


Photo by Jenna Hamra on Pexels.com We've been enjoying a nice dry spell on the Pacific West Coast, but the temperatures are chilly overnight making a warm fire, cozy blanket, and a four-legged heating pad extra comforting.

Happy New Year! I don't know about you, but the last two-three years have been a trial to the health and welfare of many and there doesn't seem to be any end in sight. With that in mind, I want to apologize if I'm spotty on the blogs. I love this community, but life is …

End of November #BookReviews S. E. Hinton, @MelissaMcClone, @bakeandwrite, @DAntion


Photo by Jill Wellington on Pexels.com We're getting a rare snowstorm on Vancouver Island today, a perfect time to sit with an enjoyable book and a cup of hot chocolate with a dash of Kahlua!

Autumn #BookReviews include #Timetravel and #historical @Sandra_Cox @TeaganGeneviene, @KrisMcMorris


It's only two days until my book release day and I'm nervous about how it will be received. It's deeper and more emotional than anything I've previously written. While there is a romantic storyline the main focus is between two sisters who have gone through a traumatic event, damaging their relationship. Whether it's because of …

Some need either more or less lighting, others become too large for their environment, and then some show off their best colors in the fall and deserve …

End of August #BookReviews @dlfinnAuthor @SophieSWrites @belovung_birds


Photo by Min An on Pexels.com I apologize for disappearing from visiting blogs and answering your comments. After a bad fall a couple of weeks ago, I suffered days of headaches, body pains, and raccoon eyes. It was the last that worried a medic at my husband's job site. He said because it took a …
