Some chit chat.

I got my vehicle back. It looks great but there’s still something wrong with the door. It doesn’t shut all the way. It closes but doesn’t line up right. We may have to replace the door if we can’t get to align. Living in a tropical climate, I can’t have the moist humidity creeping in. It will mildew the interior. My boss is still embarrassed that he wrecked it. Perhaps this is a good time to hit him up for a raise. LOL

My son and I watched The Greatest Showman. I had heard such good things about the movie. It was different from what I expected and a fabulous film. We talked about it afterwards. Then we talked about some other musicals we liked. His favorite was The Demon Barber with Johnny Depp and mine was Mama Mia with Meryl Streep. Do you watch musicals? Do you have a favorite?

That’s it for me. Nothing much else happened. Except………a bunch of new books!

Have a fabulous Sunday and brand new week!

Some chit chat.

Here we are again. Another week flies by and nothing much to report. Rain here every afternoon and steamy hot.

I almost forgot! I do have something crazy to tell you. I went to work Monday. A normal day. Went to leave and my car wouldn’t start. The starter just died. Had to leave it for repairs. That’s one great thing about where I work. There is the detail side, where I work. Then we also have a large mechanics shop and tire center. Very convenient for me! I was given a loaner truck to drive home. I went to work Tuesday. Got done. Was getting ready to leave and my boss told me he had damaged my car while moving it the day before. They had to tow it from around the corner and forgot and left the driver’s door open. You guessed it! The door caught on a steel frame pole and was bent back to the front quarter panel. I still have the truck to drive as mine is now at the body shop. My boss felt so bad. I wasn’t mad though. Accidents happen and my car will be fixed and back to me next week. All pretty again.

Got some more pics to share.

Remember the sega seed ball that was forming?

20180518_161320

Here’s an update. It’s way bigger than my head now! I’m going to get lots of new plants from it this year. It’s soft, like velvet.

20180609_170607

And some of you asked about the banana trees. Here they were when they first started growing.

20180512_105619

And remember the pink flowers with the small green corn stalk leaves?

20180512_105658

Here’s the banana trees. Reaching above the house!

20180704_111937

And both of them now. The smaller ones on the left are what’s left after the pink flowers die. Still don’t know what that plant is. LOL

20180704_111954

I love green!

Have a fabulous Sunday and brand new week!

Grab your free copy of Dying For Space and catch up on the series

Posted: July 7, 2018 in Freebies!, Science Fiction, YA
Tags: freebie, Science Fiction, YA

S.J. Higbee is celebrating the launch of Breathing Space, the third and final book in her Sunblinded trilogy, by offering up free downloads of Dying For Space, Sunblinded #2 today through Tuesday, July 10th.

Click on the cover or Amazon link to get your copy.

And if you haven’t read the first book, it’s priced to steal at $2.99 and you can catch up on this thrilling science fiction series.

~~~~~

Dying for Space (The Sunblinded Trilogy#2)
By S.J. Higbee
Genre: Science Fiction
Age category: New Adult
Release Date: 14 December 2017

My Review

So much happened in the first book, and I can’t talk about it now without spoiling this one for you. So I’m going to keep it simple.

A lot has changed for Elizabeth. Now a cadet officer serving at her father’s mercenary space headquarters, she’s torn about what to think. The other cadet’s either support her or despise her, and training is sometimes unnecessarily brutal. Everyone seems to have an agenda, including her father, and she can’t help but feel like a pawn to be used. Dangerous games are afoot.

This story moves at a fast clip. At times, bitter sweet, it’s also packed with action, conspiracy and danger that keeps the suspense building.

I really enjoyed the first book in this series, Running Out Of Space, and Dying For Space was just as fun. Lots of surprises and I can’t wait for more when the third book, Breathing Space, comes out. I’m a fan of the Sunblinded series and happy to recommend it.

~~~~~

Synopsis

Cadet Officer Elizabeth Wright just wants to make her father proud, while the mercenary warlord is looking for her to replace his dead family…

I finally get the opportunity to become a serving officer and fulfil my childhood dream, as well as get to know my biological father, General Norman. And when I first clap eyes on Restormel, the HQ of my father’s space mercenary outfit, it’s the most beautiful building I’ve ever seen.
But appearances can be deceptive. There are dark secrets hidden in the twisting corridors and blood-soaked cells beneath the training grounds and banqueting rooms. Secrets that seep out. Secrets that demand fresh victims, because whatever else happens, they can’t be allowed to see the light of day…

Amazon

Running Out of Space (The Sunblinded Trilogy#1)
By S.J. Higbee
Genre: Science Fiction
Age category: New adult
Release Date: 11 October, 2017

My Review

I used to avoid science fiction books. Figured they’d be full of techie jargon I couldn’t get my mind around. Then I gave it a go and found some fun books, including this one by S.J. Higbee. She does a great job of making me feel comfortable and before I know it, I’m not thinking about genre. I’m thinking about the characters. The trouble they get themselves into. What’s waiting for me on the next page. And almost forgetting that this takes place in space.

So, yeah, four young ladies, Lizzy, Sonja, Jessica and Alisha, decide to prove their more than baby ovens and head into the forbidden and dangerous Basement Level on Space Station Hawking to prove they’re every bit as tough as the guys. This is where the action starts and keeps going all the way til the end.

With four main character’s, all of them girls, you’d think their voices would run together, but they don’t. They each have their own signature and you easily know who’s talking when. All are quite different in personality, have different strengths and weaknesses, and this actually makes them a strong team.

When they get into some serious trouble, a stranger steps in and helps them out. Yep, a male character, Wynn of the muscles and sky blue eyes, joins the team. Not so much by choice as by circumstance. This doesn’t mean the girls go all wimpy. They actually step up and become double tough when the danger gets really intense. His character made for some fun to lighten things up here and there. And while there’s a quick attraction between one of the girls and Wynn, it’s not the main focus of the story. And from the author’s description of Wynn, I wouldn’t blame any of the young ladies for swooning over him.

Reading this story was like getting a tour of the station. From bottom to top, each level is different. Some are nice and some are nasty, and I could easily picture much of it. Probably because of all the sci fi movies I watch. Good visual writing added to my enjoyment.

The author gave me plenty of action and intrigue and some genuine characters that are easy to tell apart. Solid science fiction fun. I see this is the first in a series and I’ll be waiting for more.

~~~~~

Synopsis

Elizabeth Wright has yearned to serve on the space merchant ship Shooting Star for as long as she can remember – until one rash act changes everything…

I can’t recall whose idea it was. Just that me and my shipmates were sick of wading through yet another unjust punishment detail. So we decide to take ourselves off on a short jaunt to the lower reaches of Space Station Hawking to prove that fertile English girls can also deal with danger.

The consequences of that single expedition change the lives of all four of us, as well as that of the stranger who steps in to save us down in lawless Basement Level. Now I have more excitement and danger than I can handle, while confronting lethal shipboard politics, kidnapping, betrayal. And murder.

Amazon

~~~~~

And releasing July 8th, the third book in the series!

Breathing Space (The Sunblinded Trilogy#3)
By S.J. Higbee
Genre: Science Fiction
Age category: New Adult
Release Date: 08 July 2018

Synopsis

Lizzy Wright is now Chief of the largest mercenary force in Sector Two – a job she can’t walk away from without risking a bullet in her back…

It’s not even as if she’s qualified for the job of Leader of the Peace and Prosperity Corps – more a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong surname, and now she feels the job is twisting her into someone she no longer likes.

The situation comes to a head when her psychotic brother – busy expanding his piracy operations – causes chaos throughout Sector Two. Forced to go undercover in a disguise which bites back, and in the company of a speed-enhanced oddball with a price on his head, Lizzie must contend with corruption, betrayal, and murder. Not to mention highly territorial aliens with their own agenda…

Nothing exciting to report. Just that I’m melting. It’s been triple digits here all week and the humidity makes it feel like you’re under water. Been in the pool so much I’m become water logged.

The heat of summer on the Gulf Coast brings out so many awesome blooms. My Crepe Myrtles are getting started. Here’s a look at the row along my fence.

20180628_115801

I wish you could be standing here so you could really see what I see. So lovely!

20180628_115821

Here’s a close up of one of the beautiful blooms.

20180628_115909

This one is the tallest. I transplanted it from my old house to my new one where I’ve now lived for 14 years.

20180630_110248

If you look at the bottom right of the picture you can see the roof of my house. That’s how tall it is. My son received this from school when he was in 1st grade. He’s long since graduated and the tree is now over 18 years old.

And here’s a Quigley shot.

20180628_175956

I brought the pillows out so I could take a nap on the couch. Instead I ended up with this in my lap. He still thinks he is puppy sized. LOL

Have a fabulous Sunday and brand new week!

Well, my staycation is over and I sure enjoyed it. Spent lots of time outdoors, reading and swimming. The weather cooperated and there was plenty of sunshine. I used to wonder what I would do with my time when I retired. Now I know! I could definitely get used to it.

Since I hid out at home most of the week, I don’t have much new to share so I’ll get right to my book news.

Have a fabulous Sunday!

I’m on staycation! I plan to hang around home. Got all my errands run and stocked up on snacks and such so I don’t have to leave home until I return to work on Thursday. Also got my QUE packed on Netflix and a stack of DVDs to watch. My Kindle is waiting and so are some print books. Did a double take when I noticed most of the books were horror or thrillers, Happy days! LOL I finally kicked my slump in the patootie and writing lots of reviews and getting back to blogging ahead. All that’s keft to do is step out the back door and enter my little slice of heaven. I’ll be enjoying that pool!

20180616_180331

After some delicious, spicy Bloody Mary’s in the mornings and tart and tangy Matgarita’s in the afternoons, I’ll wrestle this gator that crawled in my pool. And if all I did was drink the whole time, he’d probably win!

That’s all for this week.

Have a fabulous Sunday!

Some chit chat.

I’m experiencing something strange for me. Aside from the excuse of when my internet was down for over a week, I seem to be in a bit of a slump. I hardly seem to post any of my usually memes and features. And I’m seriously behind on sharing reviews. Just can’t seem to be able to get back into the groove here. I’m thinking maybe it’s the pool’s fault. Can’t seem to stay out of it. LOL

It’s been a while since I shared some photos of my plants. They are thriving.

Check out Flora.

20180609_170453

And this gorgeous bloom. It’s almost as big as my head.

20180609_170544

And the banana trees and other tropical plants are growing in leaps and bounds.

20180609_170517

The Sega seed ball is really starting to form. It’s about three feet tall.

20180609_170609

If you look closely you can see it starting to close on top. This is the biggest one I ever had and should give me tons of new sega seeds. I’ll share how to harvest them this coming winter.

I love my backyard!

After a week and a half without internet it sure is good to be back. Sure makes me appreciate it more. Though, once I got used to not having it at home, I did kind of enjoy the down time. Read a bunch of books, watched some movies, and did a buddy read with my son.

Tropical Storm Alberta threatened my area but then moved east of us. Just got a lot of rain for a couple of days. Another opportunity to do some reading. LOL

The weather is gorgeous but steamy hot! We hit triple digits in the heat index and looks like more of the same nest week. Sure makes me appreciate the pool!

That’s all for this week.

Sunday Post

Some chit chat.

It’s been a week of storms here on the Gulf Coast! At least one mother of a storm each day during the work week. Some were very scary. The thunder shook the house and the straight line winds shrieked around the windows. Guess mother nature is preparing me for the beginning of hurricane season in June. LOL

Since I didn’t have as many opportunities to swim in the afternoons, I got busy on blogging ahead and writing a bunch of reviews. Also caught up on some shows and watched a few movies I’d been meaning to get to. And I came up with a blog post that’s going to be fun to put together. I love pie. All kinds of pie. I once dreamed of opening my own pie cafe. So, I’m gathering info from a bunch of movies that have pie as part of their theme. I’ll also be adding a few with other kinds of baked goodies. And I’m having a blast rewatching the movies! If you have any movie suggestions, please share them!

And now for my weekly plant update. Not as many pics this week as it was raining every day when I got home from work.

Here’s a pic of one corner of my back patio. Been working on shaping these up. And Quigley snuck in this one. I didn’t even notice him until I uploaded this pic. LOL

20180518_161344

See how the tall sega’s leaves are laying horizontal. It won’t be producing new leaves this year so I’m just cutting back the brown ones.

20180518_161320

The seed ball is really growing in the center. It gets huge and has tons of these dark red leathery seed pods. I should get a bunch this winter..

And here’s another corner where the banana trees and such are growing. Sorry it’s got a bit of glare. Had to take a quick pic in between rains.

20180518_161232

Some of the banana trees are already above the roof line. There a bunch of smaller ones popping up all over too. Should be a nice crop.

That’s all folks.

Some chit chat.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of you moms!

This week was crazy busy a work. And HOT!!!! Around 90 each day. Guess what I did? Every day I’d come home from work, throw on my swim suit and head right to the pool. The water temp is the low 80s so it feels so cool when I get in.

I’ve got in a lot of reading. And I’m now writing a bunch of reviews so I can get ahead on bogging for the summer. And I’ve continued to watch The Terror. It’s really ramping up. Also watching new episodes of The Doctor Blake Mysteries. Finally back on! And bot did they get me with that one episode. If you watch this, I;m sure you know which one I’m talking about. And I watched the first season of The Rain. Anybody else watching it? What do you think?

And now for my weekly plant update!

They are still growing! The leaves are now all the way up to my chest.

20180512_105654

This is my largest Sega. I was worried that it wouldn’t be growing new leaves. It sometimes skips a year.

But then…. this!

20180512_105533

The tendrils are super soft and fluffy. I’m thinking this is the beginning of a huge seed bowl. yippee! Free segas. It will be fun to show you how they develop and grow. It’s really weird looking.

And some of you were wondering about my banana trees.

Some are now already up to the roof line!

And here are some other shrubs stating to bloom. Pretty blue blossoms that form into huge balls.

And I have no idea what this is but the colors are so lovely.

And my Yucca is going crazy. It’s gotten huge and there are a bunch of them. You have to be careful around these. If you get stuck by one it hurts like the dickens.

They also grow every which way. I had a couple I had to cut back because they grew horizontal along the ground. I have these tucked up close to the house so I don’t get poked when I walk by. They are about 9 feet tall. They get a glorious bloom but it seems to only happen every few years. I’m hoping it will this year so I can show you.

That’s all folks.

Have a fabulous Sunday!

My new books this week.

I went a bit crazy this week. Most of these are eBooks. Some I bought and some were freebies. I just couldn’t help myself. LOL

And just look at these beauties! I won this box of books giveaway from Sara on her blog Forever 17.

Thanks, Sara!! I’ll be gobbling this up out by the pool.

And this week I won’t be sharing the usual batch of free books. I’ve been getting up early and heading right outside to read and enjoy nature. Plus, I’ve been sending every day in the pool. I’ll be back to sharing them next week!

The water temp is a cool low 80s. Just the way I like it!

And Quigley got a bath.

As soon as I was done he had to go roll around and get dirty again. LOL He’s that strange blob in the sun. I would have got a better picture but he would stand up when I got closer. Had to drop my float and snap this quickie when he wasn’t looking.
