Hanging Around the Blogs: News You May Have Missed (8)





I love Chuckles Book Cave's feature "Around the Blogs with Chuckles" so much that I'm going to do one too. There are never enough hours in the day to be a creeper on all the blogs and social media outlets so here's a recap of some great posts, articles and news tidbits you may have missed while you were out living your life.

 This week is going to be a little short as I didn't have nearly enough time to blog hop and catch up on news.

    I've been doing Adrienne's yoga lately for my arm and just general relaxation. I love that her dog is these latest ones.

    I enjoyed most of these too! Need to go pay the others you shared a visit. I've been so tired after work this week that I'm lax at visiting as much as I'd like.

      Adrienne is my favorite followed by Fightmaster Yoga. I like best of all that they're free, lol. I also use the Beachbody Yoga Retreat Program. I'm working my way back to it and then hope to be in good enough back shape to do the new Shaun T thing in April.

Hello, everyone! I hope you found some time to read last week or were at least able to take some time for yourself. Staying mostly offline has helped me get so much done. I planted a wildflower garden, visited the old rock in Plymouth, MA and watched some birds who were much more exciting than the rock 😆 Recent Reads & Listens  I'm slowly catching up on my review postings but I'm starting to feel like I have it all under control for the first time in ages. Here's what I posted to the blog since my last check-in. Clicking on a cover will open a new window to my review. ⭐⭐ ⭐1/2 ⭐⭐1/2 ⭐⭐ ⭐1/2 ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ Additions to the TBR NONE! My no-buy ban is still in place. I even went to B&N, looked around and bought nothing. The suckage. Not buying books hasn't made a dent in my tbr pile yet though, I am sad to say. I'm still working on review books, book chat books and my IRL book group books. One day I will actually get through something I actually bought ages ago 😬 I

In Darkness, Delight: Masters of Midnight edited by Andrew Lennon | Horror Fiction Review

I love finding new writers via anthologies and I found a few here! In Darkness Delight Released May 2019 Source: Received for Review Consideration Goodreads  | Amazon Midnight strikes like an invocation, clock hands joining in prayer to the darkness. After the twelfth chime, there’s no escaping the nightmare. Fear reigns supreme. In Darkness, Delight is an original anthology series revealing the many facets of modern horror—shocking and quiet, pulp and literary, cold-hearted and heart-felt, weird tales of spiraling madness alongside full-throttle thrillers. Open these pages and unleash all-new terrors that consume from without and within. Midnight is here. It’s now time to find . . . In Darkness, Delight. My 2 Cents for Free! This is a collection filled with nightmarish images and stories. As with collections of these types, there are always some you’re going to love and others you might not be quite as crazy about. A few of them were so deeply depressing that I had to take breaks in-b
