Hard to believe another week has flown by. I happened to notice the days are getting longer! That means spring will be here soon. Not soon enough for me! LOL

I’ve been reading a lot and working a lot and nothing much new has happened since last week. Except I got a lot of new books!

As I type this, I’m watching my dog and cat play on the area rug. What a pair.

I inherited my cat, Sheba, from my sister when she passed away earlier this year.

Quigley, my dog, I inherited many years ago when someone dumped him in my yard.

They are both black as night and getting up there in age.

Sometimes I think Quigley is the boss and sometimes I think Sheba is. I guess they work that out between themselves.

animals 125

You can’t see it in the photo, but Sheba isn’t de-clawed so Quigley is looking a little wary right now. They are so funny.

Sheba isn’t allowed outside but every now and then she slips out and Quigley will rush over and herd her back inside. And whenever Quigley goes to the back door. which is glass, and sits down to look outside, Sheba sits right next them. The only thing that moves is her tail. LOL

When I first got Quigley, I also had another dog I’d taken in, a golden retriever/greyhound mix we called Lassie. We called them the ghost and the darkness as she was almost white and he was pitch black. At night you couldn’t even see Quigley in the backyard, but Lassie glowed. I had to put her to sleep when she got an incurable fungus that water dogs get. Quigley was lost without her, but eventually he started eating and playing again. When my sister moved in from California, she brought two black cats, Sheba and Shasta. We had to put Shasta down because of old age. Now that Sheba has lost my sister, I think they are good for each other.

How about you? Got any best friends like these? Are you a cat person or a dog person or both?

It’s been a strange week for me. Nothing stands out but I just felt off.

Maybe it’s the post holiday blues.

One thing that’s helped is reading. A lot of it. I’m into so many different genres right now and found some new authors to follow. I’ve also picked up some new Netgalleys.

There’s something that I’ve been curious about. How do you choose the books you purchase? I mean besides already having read the author.

Do you go by the reviews? If so, do you focus mainly on the 4 and 5 star ones? Or do you like a mixed bag of good and bad ones?

What catches your attention first? Is it the title? The cover art?

Just wondering:)

The holidays are over. It seems like we wait forever for them to get here, and then they are gone in a flash.

I’m spending this weekend taking down the decorations, organizing and putting them away and doing a cleaning before I put my regular stuff back out.

I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas and safe and happy New Years.

Are any of you doing any reading challenges this year?

I’ve started my Goodreads Challenge again.

Here is last years.

2014 Goodreads Challenge

I’d read 125 books and read 188. That’s150% percent towards my goal!

And I’ve set a slightly higher goal for 2015 with 130 books.

2015 Reading Challenge

You have read 4 of 130 books

3 books ahead of schedule

As much as I devour books, I’m sure I’ll blow this years challenge out of the water too. But I’m really going to be

concentrating on reviewing so it might slow me down.

And I’m eying these two challenges also. They could work with my Goodreads Challenge and look fun.

alphabet 2015

This one is hosted by Lori at Escape With Dollycas and looks like a fun challenge.

And this one should be fun as I do love my horror!

Cornerfolds

Hosted by Tracy at Cornerfolds.

I’m also looking at some others and not sure yet which ones I might do.

How about you? Are you doing any reading challenges?

This is Zombie Month on my blog and I’ll be sneaking zombie pics into all of my posts. Keep your eye out!

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

This one is so new it isn’t even on Goodreads yet. But you can find it HERE on Amazon.

Just because it’s crazy busy at work doesn’t mean I’ll be too tired to read. I’ll get up earlier, stay up later, but dang it, I’ll get in some reading! LOL

I did read and finish a bunch of books this week. I also wrote a kazillion reviews. Well, not that many but it sure felt like it. I have eleven reviews written for next week! Some of them are a series.

I was wondering about how ya’ll write your reviews. How long does it take you? Do you take notes? Do you wing it? Do you write the review right after you finish the book or do you wait and let the story simmer? Or, do you wait to the last minute?

I’ll admit to all of the above! It depends on my mood, I guess. But, I’ve been on a roll and read some great books, so the reviews have been easy to write.

It’s getting late and I’ll soon to be heading to bed to get some more reading done. I hope you enjoy the books I’m sharing and make sure you check out the freebies. I chose from all genres so there’s something for everybody.

I had this great idea for a topic to discuss and Forgot it! LOL

I can’t believe it. I was lying in bed, and this great idea came to me. I practically wrote it in my head. Thinking, surely I won’t forget this, I didn’t bother to jot down any notes. Now, it’s been several days, and I still can’t remember what the idea was!

Have you ever had that happen? I’ve had it happen while reading a book. I have this great thought to put in a review and then don’t write it down. Wake up in the morning and no clue what I was thinking the night before. So now I keep a notepad and pen by my bed. I even keep pen and paper handy in my car, just in case I think of something awesome.

But did I use it the other night when I had my epiphany? Nope! And it’s driving me nuts. LOL

Not much new has happened this week. I do have a lot of new books to share with you.

I hope ya’ll had a marvelous Thanksgiving.

So now it’s the countdown to Christmas. Are you ready? Are you the type to get your shopping done early or are you the type who likes to wait til the last minute? Do you make a list and know what you are looking for or do you just get out there and browse the aisles?

I have a fun question for you and would love for you to participate. What is the most memorable present you received when you were a young child? The one you still feel that amazing awe about?

I’ll share mine. There were six of us kids and to keep us from knowing who the presents were for, my parents would choose a theme, putting characters names on the presents and keeping it secret until Christmas morning. Each year was different. Sometimes it would be cartoon characters names for each of us. Sometimes it would be Santa’s reindeer. You never knew which name on the gift was yours until they revealed the list. It made it so fun and really ramped up the excitement.

One year I accidentally walked in my mom while she was wrapping presents. There was this awesome set of children’s luggage and this sweet little stuffed turtle. Being the youngest girl in the family, I knew it was for me. Imagine my disappointment Christmas morning when I unwrapped all of my presents and there was no sweet, cuddly, soft turtle. I don’t recall saying anything. I do recall the crushing sadness. I really loved that turtle.

Imagine the joy, the bliss, when I opened one small piece of the new luggage and there was my turtle! I still feel that magical moment. My parents must have been smiling inside, waiting for me to find that turtle.

On a happy note, I just had a birthday yesterday. Yep, my son’s birthday was the 20th and mine was the 29th. His due date was on my birthday but he came early! I look at him, over 6ft. tall, and still see that little baby. I spent the day decorating for Christmas, then we had pizza and a bunch of movies. We stayed up way late and ate a lot of popcorn. Fun times!

Now for the book news. Got lots to show you and a bunch of freebies for ya!

I’m back. Those of you who follow my blog probably noticed that WordPress shut me down. I was guilty of violating their Terms Of Service. I admit, I was. But still not too sure what all I did wrong. They don’t go into detail, so I suspect it’s like a form letter they send out when they shut you down.

So, now I’m self-hosted and free to do as I please, at some cost.It was worth it to be able to transfer all of my content. I was horrified when I was shut down. All those lovely posts and reviews, gone! But, I have them back and now I’m looking forward to sharing more with ya’ll. Still trying to figure out how to change to Leave a reply thingie at the bottom. Is it odd for you to comment and does anyone know how I can personalize it? I’ve searched everywhere in my dashboard and can’t find a way to change it.

Last Sunday Post I mentioned rearranging my living room and now having no place for my Christmas tree. I took Katherine’s and Trisha’s advice and moved some things into the guest room and now have the perfect spot! But first, I had to get the new bed for my sons room out of there, so I finally finished his room and everything looks good.

I had a huge dilemma at the grocery store. They were out of my favorite tea, Twinings Irish Breakfast and also the English Breakfast Tea I fall back on. So, I bought some Earl Gray and it tastes odd. There’s a lingering aftertaste, spicy and heavy that I can’t figure out. Not liking it much but since I spent the money on it, I’ll probably drink it.

My oldest brother and my mother came down from Michigan last week and they brought that winter vortex with them. We had some frigid days here on the Gulf Coast and it brought back memories of the ice age we experienced last year. LOL Now it’s blustery and cloudy and humid as hell. Around the 70’s and sticky! Funny how quickly the weather shifts near the water.

I hope you all had a great week and lets get to some of what I’ve been doing book wise. Not as much as I couldn’t post, but I did a lot of reading.

Halloween is over and it’s a race to Christmas now. I was in the store and bought a bunch of Halloween stuff marked way down. Boy, they want it out of the stores fast. Got some really nice stuff too.

And, of course, I had to buy a Christmas ornament. I couldn’t help myself. LOL

Let’s see. What did I do this week? Oh, I rearranged my living room. I’m loving how much more open it looks now. But something was nagging at me the whole time I was doing it. Then the light bulb went off. I didn’t leave a place for the Christmas tree! Now I’m sitting here, wondering where it can go. Well, at least a have a while to figure that out.

The only other things new are a job and the weather.

We had a cold front come through and it was actually cold. The wind blew all night Friday and I thought I was headed to Oz. Woke up and it was downright cold out. I doubt it will last long.

And I’m looking for a part time job to make some extra money. Don’t know how that will go as my current job is physically tiring, but maybe I can do a couple nights or the weekends. We’ll see.

Other than that, I’ve been reading a lot and getting reviews together. That’s it.

Oh yeah! Don’t forget the daylight savings time starts this weekend. An extra hour. Yeah!

Not much happened this week. Work was crazy and I was so tired when I got home that all I wanted to do was watch my favorite shows, catch a few horror movies, and read. All hard to do when I had to fight to keep from falling asleep.

I have a very physical job. I detail the interiors of vehicles and it’s not easy. A lot of the equipment is bulky, there’s lots of scrubbing and lifting and carrying, but it does keep me in shape. Though, it wears me out when I have a long day.

The good part about it is, when I’m done I can leave so going in early and getting it done lets me get home with daylight to enjoy. But that won’t be for long as daylight savings time approaches.

How do you feel about the time change? Should they continue doing it? It doesn’t seem like we really need it anymore.

Enjoy my goings on this week and I look forward to visiting your posts!
