Status of the Blog

Wow, hello!  It has been a while. Ugh. I had grand plans to blog regularly and catch up going forward but life went sideways on me in January and all of my plans went out the damn window. We lost a family member which has been rough, we moved my son cross-country and back again and I'm now caring for his puppy during the day while I try to work at home. It's been a whole lot of madness and a whole lot of adjusting. Some of it fun, some of it heart-crushing but all of it exhausting. 

I haven't felt much like reviewing and have been super distracted, but I have been reading so I'll try to put together some mini book posts while maybe catching up on review posts that have been sitting in the queue for eternity. I refuse to make any grand pronouncements because every time I do that life kicks me in the butt so I'll only say that I'll do my best to be a better blogger now that things are starting to quiet down. 

Anyhow, that's more than anyone cared to know so here's my new buddy Max. He's an Australian Shepherd from Tennessee and he is a happy little wild man. Having him here is like having a toddler in the house most of the time but he's always smiling and it's hard to get down with him hanging around.

I hope everyone is well in book bloglandia and reading some good stuff. I'll be checking in on you all soon.

      Thank you, Erica. Max goes home tonight (he's been living here while he recovers) so hopefully, we can all get a little rest. My cats and my dog aren't very fond of a wild puppy :(

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.

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             ...
