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! Once again, my interest varied to several different genres, so there should be something here for most tastes. Fifteen-year-old Tex is devastated when his older brother,…

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…
Release Day is here for Letting Go- The Defiant Sisters Duet Book 1 #WomensFic #reading
Character Study- Renée A blogging friend of mine, Diana Peach, likes to do an introduction to her characters before the release of her books, so I thought I’d do one today for my new release, Letting Go. Renée Thomas is the most serious and oldest at twenty-one. Her sister, Izzy- Elizabeth Mae Thomas- is two…
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- 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…
#BookReview Tuesday- @Melissa_Foster, Sharon Wray, @piketoni1 #readingcommunity
Reading has always been an escape for me. As a child, books allowed me to travel to faraway countries and have great adventures I’d never dreamed of in my small-town world. As an adult, my tastes may have changed but the concept is the same; books take me away from the real-life issues we face…
#BookReviews- #Poetry from @BalroopShado, #Romance by @megancrane and @kisscrafter
Spring is in full swing, and we’ve been busy in the garden planting bulbs, vegetable seeds, weeding, soaking in the sun’s rays, watching my cat watch the birds 🙂 and reading! Balroop Singh opened my eyes to the beauty and grace of poetry. Her latest collection is filled with the magic of her words and…

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…
