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. I’m still not writing, but I have been reading some excellent books which I hope to share with you over the next few weeks…

Top Five #Reads of 2022- #GoodreadsChallenge @sgc58 @katherinecenter @Dwallacepeach
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…
Two #Fantasy #Bookreviews from master worldbuilding #Authors @DWallacePeach @WordDreams
Well, we just came through a gigantic windstorm where our airport registered 106 km gusts- the highest ever recorded at this time of the year- and now we’re under a winter storm warning! WTH? We spent Saturday building a 3×5 greenhouse I ordered from Costco to protect our Washington orange, a Lime, and a Loquat…
Two Captivating #Reads Sam, A Shaggy Dog @sgc58 and Allie and Bea @cyanhyde
I’ve come down sick with a cold/flu and yes, I’m a big baby, lol. I’m sorry I haven’t been keeping up with commenting or your blogs. Hopefully, this will be a short-lived thing or hubby might throw me under the trailer 🙂 The two reads I want to share this week are heart-warming stories about…
Catching up on my #NetGalley #BookReviews @Darynda @RKapelkeDale, Betty Webb
The fun of growing all of your plants in containers is the ability to move them whenever you want to refresh the garden. 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 a key location. This all…
#Bookreview- The Necromancer’s Daughter by @DWallacePeach, The Haunting of Chatham Hollow by @StaciTroilo and @MaeClair1
It’s been a busy week with my mom’s birthday and a surprise visit from some family members, so I’m going to jump right into reviews for two page-turning reads you won’t want to miss. D. Wallace Peach is on my list of auto-buy authors, but I have to admit I wasn’t sure about the premise…
#BookReview- Bloodless by Preston and Child, The Winding Road by @mhurdle112, The Wrong Bones by @MelindaLeigh1 #amreading
Autumn is just around the corner and I, for one, can’t wait! Already the nights are cooler, the days luxurious, laden with the aroma of ripening fruit and vegetables. This is my favorite season. I love bright orange pumpkins, crimson and chartreuse leaves, along with eagles soaring over salmon-filled streams. The kids are settled in…
End of August #BookReviews @dlfinnAuthor @SophieSWrites @belovung_birds
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 few days for the bruising to…
Time Travel #Mystery and Suspense #BookReviews @Sandra_Cox @Becca_Zanetti @CarlaNeggers
This week got off to a rough start; I took a header in the garden and smashed into a decorative rock. Yes, it hurt right away 🙂 My daughter and grandson left for New Zealand Monday. As many of you know, she’s moving toward her doctorate in biology and was accepted to a university in…
Mid-Summer #BookReviews and #Writing Progress @MelindaLeigh1 @DWallacePeach
Woohoo, I’ve had a breakthrough on my WIP and FINALLY know where the story is going. For a pantser this is equivalent to finding that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow 🙂 I’ll share another teaser with you soon, but for now let’s delve into some of the fantastic summer reads I’ve…
End of July #BookReviews Part 1- #Reading @danniowenjones @jaxandwillsmum @supermegawoman @JanSikes3
This week it’s my daughter’s *** birthday! It seems like yesterday that I was teaching her to walk and now she’s a mother with an almost-grown son of her own. Where does the time go? This is one of my favorite pictures of her as a baby- isn’t she cute? 🙂 I’ve read a couple…
#TuesdayBookReviews- Catling’s Bane @DWallacePeach, Between Hello & Goodbye @EmmaS_Writes, The Make-Up Test @jennylhowe
It’s been so nice outside that I haven’t had much time to visit the blogs, much less come up with a brilliant post {difficult at any time!}, but hope to comment here and there throughout the summer- my apologies. It was hubby’s birthday on the weekend. We spent the day eating fresh berries and talking…
End of June #BookReviews from @dlfinnauthor @Becca_Zanetti @janet_gover @cryanhyde @WordDreams
The past week has kicked my butt. It’s hot and muggy in my area, which makes doing anything indoors a chore. We have AC on the fifth wheel but prefer not to use it unless we have to, which means opening windows in hopes of a breeze and setting up fans to stir the air….
#BookReview- Treachery in Death by J.D. Robb, Wherever the Wind Takes Us by Kelly Harms, and Means to Deceive by Alex Craigie #amreading
This week I have a murder mystery from the great Nora Roberts writing as J.D. Robb, a Netgalley women’s fiction pick, and a contemporary blogging recommendation. When I first learned of the In Death series, I wasn’t sure it would appeal to me. Set in the future, there are flying cars, ray guns, and many…
End of May #BookReviews #Amreading @teagangeneviene @belovung_birds @JRWard1 and Jamie Beck
One of my favorite places to go when I’m seeking inspiration is Esquimalt Lagoon. On one side, you have the Pacific Ocean with a view of Victoria harbor… and on the other side, Royal Roads University with Hatley Castle seen in many featured films such as Deadpool, X-Men, Smallville, and many more. Is it any…

If interested, click the covers to find out more. The Insurgent by Teri Polen Amazon Link If a megalomaniac threatened your family, would you give…
End of April #BookReviews with Lincoln Child, @AshleyCWeaver @Sandra_Cox plus #family Reconnecting
I can’t believe it’s the end of April already! It seems as though the older I get, the quicker time flies. My daughter arrived Tuesday night after taking a wrong turn and adding six hours to her trip. It’s been almost five years since we’ve seen her, so I’m a bit emotional, as you can…
