Some chit chat.

It was a hot and busy week at work so I came home every day and dove into my house. AAH! The delicious AC! LOL I don’t know how they did it before it was invented.

One thing that still feels like spring here on the Gulf Coast is the cooler mornings and low humidity before that scorching sun builds it up and you are trying to breath that moist air.

I spend most mornings enjoying a hot cup of tea on my back porch and start my weekend mornings there too. This is my outdoor office. I’m working now.

   

Nice, eh?!  When I’m not reading or on my computer, I pick up my gardening tools and tweak things and plunge in the pool to cool off. I’m in Heaven:)

And I want to thank everyone for your helpful comments about what eReader I should buy last week. You ALL Rock!

I made up my mind and this recently arrived in my mailbox. Yeah!

Yep, I chose the Paperwhite and am learning about all of the bells and whistles now. I love it!

And for all the moms and soon to be moms out there, HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

My mother is flying down and arrives next Wednesday. I can’t wait to see her!. She’ll be here for five months. I have a brother and a sister that live close by and we all fight over her. LOL She’s my best friend and an angel on this planet. I can only hope I’m as a great a mother to my son as she is to me. Happy Mother’s Day, Mom. I love you so much!

I’ll be hopping over to check out your Sunday posts so be sure to leave me your link!

Here are my new books for review.

 

 

I was thrilled to be offered Special Passage. I’ve read the other three and love this series.

And I was also thrilled to get Terminal. I’ve read the first three books and loved them. Just got to tidy up a review and on to this one.

And I couldn’t pass up In The Eyes Of Madness when the author offered it for review. Just my kind of reading!

I was thrilled to get The Gatherers. Been waiting a long time for this one. I had wicked fun with the first book, The Harvesting.

~~~

New ones just because.

On my Kindle

I got so lucky and spotted this free on Amazon! I just reviewed Killing Weeds, the 8th book in this series and plan to go back and read the others. How cool that I got this one free. I prefer getting cozies in print but I still need to get 6 more books in this series and that gets a bit pricey.

~~~

I’m into a lot of books for young readers and this sounded fun for all ages. Just check out the description!

And it’s FREE until the 16th. Click on the cover to get your copy.
