Her wings sparkling, the sylph flitted through the trees, there one minute, gone the next. 

AND

Did you know, spider plants are natural air purifiers?

Ketch-Up Day

How are you? Wonderful, I hope.

I wish I had exciting news to report, like Reuben Hayes--who is coming out Friday--has already sold mega copies and is destined to be a best seller. Or we won the lottery. Or the world is now a calmer, safer, friendlier, and environmentally healthier place. 

Since that hasn't happened, here's the usual garden pics:)

 

 

 

 

Be well, my friends.

IWSG Wednesday

 

The first Wednesday of every month is officially IWSG day. IWSG was formed by Ninja Captain Alex Cavanaugh. Members post about their doubts and fears, discuss struggles and triumphs, and offer words of encouragement to others who are struggling.

 

Twitter handle: @TheIWSG  

Hashtag: #IWSG 

 The awesome co-hosts for the March 5 posting of the IWSG are Ronel Janse Van Vuuren, Pat Garcia, and Liza @ Middle Passages!

Every month, we announce a question that members can answer in their IWSG post. These questions may prompt you to share advice, insight, a personal experience or story. Include your answer to the question in your IWSG post or let it inspire your post if you are struggling with something to say. 

Remember, the question is optional

 

March 5 question - If for one day you could be anyone or *thing* in the world, what would it be? Describe, tell why, and any themes, goals, or values they/it inspire in you.

For one day, I would love to be a bird. To soar in the clouds and enjoy soft breezes and warm sunlight while I glided in the sky.

 

 

February/March Reviews in no particular order. * Disclaimer. If I run into an occasional typo, I ignore them and don't factor them into my review.

 

CHAIN REACTION by James Byrne

James Byrne has created a fascinating character in Dez Limerick. Very unique. Both tough guy and softie, and he always apologizes for bad language around ladies;) He’s not tall, like most protagonists, but barrel-chested. And it’s a big barrel.

CHAIN REACTION, is third in the series and has mega twists and turns. Several neither Dez nor I saw coming:)

For those who have read the first two in the series, you will want to read this one.

 

 

 

RENDER and REBELLION by K. A. Riley

In book two and three, Cress and her friends become more embroiled in the fight against the government.

At the end of book two, one of the characters took a turn that wasn’t really credible to me and took me out of the story. I finally came to grips with the role the author had assigned this character and still found both book two and three enjoyable but book one is my favorite.

Available at Amazon

 

 

 

SHADOW AND BONE, SEIGE AND STORM,  RUIN AND RISING by Leigh Bardugo
This trilogy is a reread for me. I love this series and think it's one of the best YA fantasies written.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE STARLESS CROWN by James Rollins

This one was too dark for me. Though I have to admit I read it till the end, hoping for some positive closure. It's well written and if you like fantasy and don't mind dark, you would probably enjoy it.

One bit of personal information that fascinated me is that the author is a practicing veterinarian.

 

 

 

AND

Did you know, that author Dan Brown of DA VINCI CODE fame was once a pop singer?

Ketch-Up Day

 How are you? 

Other than waiting for my cover of Reuben Hayes and getting it ready for preorder, there's not a lot going on here. Oh I did make green beans in the crock pot. I just add a little olive oil, vegetable stock and seasoning, and let it simmer for a few hours. Voila.  I'm loving that crock pot. It makes life so much easier.  And I'm all about easy:) What about with you? Do you use a crockpot much?

Nori. And yes, we still have her in diapers.

A Florida hitchhiker.

Thanks, Shane.

That's it for today, Bloggers. Have a great one.
