The latest Got My Eye On: Where I share my three must-buy books found during my blog perusals

 February's Wrap-Up


What We've Been Up To 

We Have Been Working So Hard Around Here:



State of the Blog:  I have no idea what's up with my font up there and I am way too lazy to fiddle with blogger's finicky html. If it wants to be X-large in the weirdest of places, who am I to mess with it?  My posting is still willy-nilly and all over the place. Kind of like my font size. I will never again admit out loud that I have any sort of plan. It's a sure recipe for failure! I'm going to post whenever and whatever because that's apparently the only thing I can stick to!

The Cabinet Project:  Is almost freaking done. Almost. I have one more coat of wax to wax on/wax off and my Sunday's will be mine again. At least until the next project crops-up anyway.

Link Ups


Ebook Buys

I grabbed a few freebies/cheapies again . . . Some might still be free but please check before hitting that buy it now button. It's tricked me more times than I care to admit.

    Lots of good audio titles. Bet you will be glad when you get the cabinets done. You know, my font can be possessed at times too. I usually just go with it too.

    You have a lot of new audios to keep you busy. I know you will be so happy to be done with your kitchen. I know it will be worth it. I need to get off my rear end and do some things around my house. Blogger does some weird things to font. I will spend forever fixing it - drives me crazy!

    Ooh you reviewed The Time Machine! I had to go read it. I was the same way, loved the 1960 movie, never read the book. I liked your review and agree, in fact it makes me want to watch the movie! Oh, and read the book too. :)

    Love the cat pics.

Got My Eye On (8)

I saw a post over at  Mailbox Monday  that was encouraging readers to share their best finds of the week via their  Books That Caught Our Eye  posts. I love, love, love that idea so this is my warped version of it. Here are the books I've added to my wishlist over the last week or two with credit to my enablers :) Bookfanatic @  Booklikes   Buy  /  GR What Remains by Garrett Leigh (m/m romance) Web designer Jodi Peters is a solitary creature.

Add in the heady current between them, and Jodi can’t help falling hard in love. He offers Rupert a home within the walls of his cosy Tottenham flat—a sanctuary to nurture their own brand of...

Tackling the TBR List in 2018: Time to Vote!

Image
I tried this meme last year and though it was incredibly fun I never revisited it because I spent the rest of the year breaking my promises to myself and reading ARC's and review copies instead of my TBR pile.I hope to change it this year and read at least one book a month from the TBR stacks. Michelle @  Because Reading  created and hosts the meme. Here they are, three actual books randomly plucked from one of my piles. Perfect for the Valentines season, right?!  Please feel free to let me know if any of these are not worth reading! I am determined to learn how to DNF properly. The Books              I actually picked these out for a Twitter post in January and meant to do the meme then because the Twitter-verse wasn't interested in my tbr pile. I did have one vote for Blood Rubies & In Cold Blood.  Click Cover for More About the Books             ...
