HAPPY MONDAY!!! I have a list of books that just went live early and it’s a good one!!! But first…
Three things:
1.) I had the first eggplant off of my eggplant plant (it’s a BIG plant) and has 4 more growing as we speak. And I was so excited to cut it up and air fry it that I forgot to take a picture (as I have been doing for each 1st crop of every veggie plant I have). ROAR!! LOL!! By the way, it was delicious!!!! I will forever container garden, I think. It is just so fun, and the rabbits (and doggies) can’t get in it. At least so far. 😉
2.) I’m reading Woman Down: A Novel by Colleen Hoover (though I didn’t end up reading much this weekend, ’cause I had a bunch of house stuff to do). But so far, so good and I can’t wait to get back to it. Did you know it’s the #1 book on all of Amazon Kindle right now and pretty much since the day it was released?
3.) I bought a pair of dining room chairs for my set. I only have 6 chairs that go with my “seats 8” dining room table and with all of the kids, girlfriends, parents etc, we are always missing spots and a couple always ends up at the island bar to eat. And since my set is a few years old I can’t buy replacement chairs that match the set exactly, so… I had to shop around. And I think I found something that will work. Same color, same height, same pin-nail trimming thingies, but just a little more “shape-oomph” to them, so I think they’ll be perfect at each end of the table, now turning my table into a full-on eight seater, and look like they are part of the set. *fingers crossed* They may not be the ultimate quality, but considering they’ll only really be used on some weekends and most holidays, they’ll work just fine. I hope. 😉 I’ll take a picture and let you know when they get here. 🙂
Okay now… time for BOOKS THAT JUST WENT LIVE!!!

The Wild Valley: A Second Chance Cowboy Romance (Wildflower Canyon Book 3) by Maya Alden <— HE WANTS HER GONE!! “…Ten years ago, I left Wildflower Canyon with my reputation in shreds and Cade Mercer’s hatred in my rearview mirror. He believed I betrayed him. I couldn’t defend myself—not when the man I loved turned against me. Now I’m back to run my late father’s veterinary practice and clear my name. Cold stares follow me everywhere, but in ranch country with only two vets, they sometimes have no choice but to call me. Cade makes it clear he wants me gone, especially when his little girl takes a liking to me and I fall hard for her. But when his precious Angus falls sick, to Cade’s chagrin, I’m the only one who can help him...”

Taste of the Light: A Billionaire Office Romance by Nicole Fox <— BILLIONAIRE BOSS ROMANCE!! “...A list of red flags that I, Elaina Hunter, have ignored:
– Billionaire chef. (Suspicious.)
– My actual boss. (Problematic.)
– Emotionally unavailable. (Classic.)
– Secret mafia ties. (Less classic. Still an issue.)
– Faked his own death. (Honestly, at this point, I should’ve seen it coming.)
I should’ve run after the first one. I definitely should have booked it after what I saw him do in that alley. And yet here I am, pregnant with his baby, opening my door to him at midnight because he said pretty please…”
