BLURB JOLTS: Reverse (because it’s Kate Stewart!!!! And I LOVED Drive!!), The Big Dark Sky (DEAN KOONTZ!! They are all drawn to a remote cabin in Montana), Royally Indecent (interesting!! Seems like a menage? He’s her best friend buy gay, and she falls for someone, but her best friend is falling for her… and that someone??)

P.S. Three things since I missed yesterday 😉
1.) I FINALLY got my entertainment center for my TV, so my living room is done!! Solid wood, hand built here in the USA and was very expensive but worth it. It came to us completely prebuilt. Here’s a much cheaper one that looks a lot like mine (not solid wood and you have to build it) but it’s cute too! YAY LIVING ROOM! Next up, I will be installing and programming all of my Phillips Hue Lights.
3.) My tiny Pimmie isn’t feeling well today. 13 years old, so things affect her differently now. I have a vet appointment tomorrow.
