Some chit chat.

It’s been the same old, same old this week. All work and no play. But….. next week I get three days off in a row from both jobs! Know what I’m a gonna do? Nothing I don’t wanna. LOL Going to eat, have some cocktails, read, nap, watch the telly and take a nap or two!

I caved and hired someone to come this week and clean up my yard. It got away from me and would have taken forever. It’s going to be so neat and pretty. I think I’ll watch them work while floating in the pool. Or is that mean? LOL

Have a lovely Sunday everyone.

My new books this week.

I requested this from the publisher. And I got it!

Tracking Game: A Timber Creek K-9 Mystery by [Mizushima, Margaret]

Two brutal murders, a menacing band of poachers, and a fearsome creature on the loose in the mountains plunge Mattie Cobb and her K-9 partner Robo into a sinister vortex.

An explosion outside a community dance sends Mattie Cobb and Cole Walker reeling into the night, where they discover a burning van and beside it the body of outfitter Nate Fletcher. But the explosion didn’t kill Nate–it was two gunshots to the heart.

The investigation leads them to the home of rancher Doyle Redman, whose daughter is Nate’s widow, and the object of one of their suspect’s affection. But before they can make an arrest, they receive an emergency call from a man who’s been shot in the mountains. Mattie and Robo rush to the scene, only to be confronted by the ominous growl of a wild predator.

As new players emerge on the scene, Mattie begins to understand the true danger that’s enveloping Timber Creek. They journey into the cold, misty mountains to track the animal–but discover something even more deadly in Tracking Game, the fifth installment in Margaret Mizushima’s Timber Creek K-9 mysteries.

And this is one I pre-ordered and just received. It sounds right up my alley!

46638843. sy475

It starts with reports on the news of an inland lake turning semi-solid.
Surely, a media joke, some lame April Fool’s prank?
The before and after pictures are vaguely ludicrous and oddly disturbing, the contrast stark and strange.
First, darkly rippling water that hints at hidden depths. Slightly spooky and perfectly normal. Next, a putrid blotch of clotted sludge which bears little resemblance to anything aquatic.

It isn’t a joke.
And pretty soon, that greasy, sickening substance isn’t confined to an inland lake.
It’s spreading. Flowing over fields and filling streets.
Each morning brings a new revelation. Countryside denuded of life and towns empty and echoing.
The night is when it changes, becomes something that consumes. Something infinitely worse than a congealed impossibility.

CONGEAL is a short tale of apocalyptic horror. How the world ends may not be how you expect. Nuclear Armageddon or a zombie apocalypse could get beaten to the punch.
Our apocalypse may come from below.
An ancient, cosmic entity bubbling up to the surface in search of food.
It’s also the story of one individual and her fight to stay afloat in a sea of despair.

    Ooh enjoy the days off! I can’t believe the 4th is THIS week, but I’m pretty happy about it and ready to grill out lol.

    Congeal sounds pretty awesome! I’m always up for cosmic entities in search of food (humans) haha!

    • fuonlyknew says:

      Alien chum is always fun to read. LOL I plan to relax and enjoy the mini vacation. And the neighbors always put on incredible fireworks displays for the 4th!

  2. Yay for three days off! That sounds like a great way to spend them πŸ™‚ I think you should totally float in the pool while you watch them work, hahaha.

  3. Three days off sounds amazing! And great for you to hiring someone to do it. Sometimes we just need a break. Keep floating in that pool!

    • fuonlyknew says:

      The pool will be put to good use. LOL I love working in my yard but just couldn’t keep it maintained this summer.

  4. I need to find more time to just read, watch films and catch up on dvd box sets! Enjoy your rest!

  5. *Flora* says:

    Three days in a row is bliss; enjoy them! x

  6. Enjoy your time off. You shouldn’t do anything you don’t want to do!

    Your books sound quite interesting. Maybe you will get a bit of time to read them during your time off.

    Have a good week!

    • fuonlyknew says:

      I have several books picked out to read during my time off. And some others I hope I can get to also:)

  7. Woo-hoo, three days off in a row, enjoy! Congeal sounds good. I don’t know how Leonard can fit such a big premise into a short book, but I guess we’ll find out!

    • fuonlyknew says:

      I plan to be lazy all three days! LOL I’m really excited to read Congeal. I just need to finish the book I’m reading now first.

  8. Tammy says:

    Enjoy your time off, especially in the pool! I have a nice 4 day weekend coming up and I cannot wait😁

  9. Yvonne says:

    I hope you enjoy your time off! Sounds wonderful. I’m off too πŸ™‚ Have a great week!

  10. kozbisa says:

    My favorite thing to do, when I have time off is nothing. I love having no obligations, and I can only imagine that having two jobs would amplify this feeling. Enjoy!

    • fuonlyknew says:

      I did do some chores so that I wouldn’t have to stare at a dirty house on my time off. LOL

  11. Enjoy the time off!!!

  12. Beware Of The Reader says:

    Laura I know how hard you work for months now with two jobs! No wonder you could not manage with your garden! I hope you’ll enjoy your days off next week! happy Sunday

    • fuonlyknew says:

      I keep thinking I will give up my old job but I guess I’m not ready yet. I won’t be doing both of them by this winter though. I told myself no more freezing with my outside job and it is getting too physically hard for me anymore. I will be enjoying my mini vacay!

  13. Jackie says:

    Thanks for sharing the Freebies! Floating in the pool when others are working does sound a little mean. They may disturb you πŸ˜› My Sunday Post

    • fuonlyknew says:

      I love browsing to find freebies to share. The trick is not to grab all of them myself. And they better not disturb me! LOL

  14. Gayathri Lakshminarayanan says:

    YES! That sounds like a great plan. I love doing nothing too and I wish I did it more often. I hope you have a great week ahead.

  15. Fab book haul, I hope you enjoy all of your lovely new books πŸ™‚

  16. Stormi D Johnson says:

    You deserve a break and hey if you hired them then you should get to soak up some sun in the pool while they work. πŸ™‚

    Have a great week and happy reading!
    Stormi

  17. I say enjoy the pool which they are doing your yard. You’ve hired them and I’m sure paying a more than fair wage. You deserve a break. I really want to start that K-9 book series. I’ve got lots of dog books planned for Dog Days of Summer this August!

    • fuonlyknew says:

      I hope I don’t scare them away when they see me in a bathing suit. LOL I have a bunch of dog books and trying to get all in each series.

  18. alisbooks says:

    Enjoy your days off! Floating in the pool with a book sounds awesome!

  19. Enjoy your days off! I hope you get to be in the pool for hours, and maybe read a little too? Have a great week!

  20. Float away!

    Have a great reading week with a book and a cocktail in the pool

  21. I love your plans for your days off. I will try to get all of my clients work done early so I can have a 4 day weekend myself. Hope the work days go fast 4 you!!

  22. S. J. Pajonas (spajonas) says:

    We hire people to do our yard work. There’s just not enough time in the day to do it ourselves.

  23. I am so so excited to read Tracking Game but I am currently behind on current ARCs so I have to wait. Happy reading!
