Why is it that when I start a blog with ideas, the spark dies? It’s like all the sparks crash into each other and explode as I get ready to write.
I hope my USA neighbors are having a great holiday. We’ve been enjoying the ABC celebration until it became clear we needed to watch ID4. Tradition, ya know?
Milo is an old man. He barks at anything near his space, or sounds he’s not used to. His bark says, “Get off my lawn!” So the fireworks and sparkles are going to drive him crazy. My plans for tonight will be doggy hugs and gentle chatting.
I wish you all a safe one. Please, no fires!
Cursed by Casey Odell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A four-star rating is pushing it. Mainly because I decided to try to read Book Two, I’m hoping it will get better. I picked this first book up in 2013. I kept putting off reading it. I was getting tired of Young Adult books, even then. Most are so angsty. Sadly, thirteen years later, I feel the same way.
The story started interesting enough, but as soon as the main character gets with the elves, the angst starts. ‘Why doesn’t he pay more attention to me? I can’t help myself; I have to kiss him. I know he’s bad for me, etc., etc.’
I pushed myself to get through this with Kindle Text-to-Speech. But it still was hard to read/listen to.
Okay, I will admit I was probably not the preferred audience; 76 is not YA, except in my own mind.
By the way, you can get this as a Kindle Unlimited title. Maybe you’ll like it better than I did.
Sorry, we have no Internet so I’m doing this from the phone. I’ll come back to edit in a few days when it’s working again.
Check out this book on Goodreads: The Seven Rings https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/228436880-the-seven-rings
I finished a book but can’t write the review for now as our Internet is out. The guy comes tomorrow.
Luckily Milo posed for me this morning. This guy!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
As my anxiety for daily blog not done piqued, I turned off my audiobook, and decided to peek into my Spotify app. Mostly I found a mountain of podcasts I’m behind on. After getting past the peak of Mount Podcast, I walked Into the Woods.
That gave me a Stream–and a smile! How I miss my traveling music. And traveling! So it’s Into the Woods!
The Mirror by Nora Roberts
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Brittany Pressley narrates this second book of the Lost Bride Trilogy as she did the first and third. She brings all the characters, embodied and disembodied, with clarity and humor.
Nora Roberts is becoming a favorite author for me. I am sure these books come across on the page as well as they do in audiobook form.
These aren’t terribly scary but there are moments of terror. Not so much that you can’t read it before sleep.
As the title suggests, this book takes it up a notch: the main character, Sonya, is forced to attend ancestors’ weddings in the past. Through the looking glass (Mirror)!
I enjoyed this so much that I immediately went to Libby and got the next book in the series. So far I am not disappointed.
Please read these if you get the chance.
