<— HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE!! Lookit what just went LIVE!!!! Kylie Scott’s latest, and OMG isn’t that cover HOT. Looks like Keanu Reeves, and the blurb sounds like fun (and danger!!) 😉 Plus, we have a few more that went live too!
THREE THINGS:
1.) I spent the day by the water (in a channel that goes out to the Gulf of Mexico) for a birthday celebration & BBQ and I’m a little bit sunburned. Yes yes… I know to cover with SPF but I hate that feeling. It gives me the heebs to have that all over my skin, so I did my best to stay under shade at all times. Sunburn is minor though, so I must have found myself in the sun at some point, just enough to get me! I have an aloe plant and used a piece (I DO like that feeling). It was a WONDERFUL day though, and made me happy to be out enjoy summer festivities!
2.) I saw a dolphin! He came right up to us, and swam back and forth along the channel wall interacting and not scared. The owners of the house were were at say that he comes every day… same thing. SO CUTE!
3.) I bought two auto feeders for my dogs on Prime Day, and have been trying to get the dogs used to the “noisy machines” (only noisy ’cause it drops food into the dish rather loudly. Pimmie has clued in, and now runs to the bowls when she hears it go off. Hobbit is rather reluctant, and waits for me to go to her bowl and show her the food is there. Problem is, if she doesn’t claim her food on her own, Pimmie decides to take hers, too. *sigh* Come on, Hobbit. Get with the program.
LOOK WHAT JUST WENT LIVE !!!

I stopped trying to conform to the neurotypicals of the world and found my own normal. Normal went out the window when I walked into my kitchen and found a strange (hot), dangerous looking (so fricking hot) man drugging my new dog. It probably wasn’t the smartest thing to leap at him like a banshee and attack, but that’s what I did. When my attempt to wreck the vehicle was averted, my kidnapper didn’t hurt or threaten me. In fact, he told me he wanted to protect me…”

Good morning!!
1. I think that Kylie Scott guy looks like Wouter Peelen, my current IG model crush. I usually hate people on covers, but I’m seriously thinking of reading that book because of it!
2. We got our maltipoo one of those automatic water bowls with the pretty waterfall and she wouldn’t go near it! I finally took it down because I was convinced she was dehydrating herself!
3. I’m told our pool should be done this week. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAAAA. I’ll believe it when I see it.
Oh yes, I know Hobbit wouldn’t go near a waterfall water bowl either. I have those that auto fill and she’s nervous of those too (’cause if they drop water down into her bowl as she’s drinking – that makes bubbling noises) and she’s all GAH!!!
So she has a normal water bowl. 😉
When will you be able to use the pool once it’s done?
I *think* as soon as it’s full, though the loose plaster may still be coming off for a few days.
Yay for the pool! Glad you’ll get to use it before summer is over. 😁
Me too! I need some color bad. I’ll still cake on SPF 1000 but at least I won’t look like parchment paper like I do now.
Lol…SPF 1000…I love the image. Yay for your pool! You will love it!
Good morning!
1. I’ve found a new-to-me thriller author that I LOVE–Gregg Olsen. I’m listening to The Weight of Silence (sequel to The Sound of Rain) right now, and it is intense! It does have some disturbing content, so it’s not for everyone. I’ve listened to 3 of his books in a row, and I’m hooked! Oh, and many of his books (and audio books) are free with KU!
2. Remember when we got our new floors a year ago? Well, this weekend we finally got back to putting all the junque that’s still been sitting on our covered porch either back in the house, to storage, or to the dump. I was on a mission to get all that stuff put up the day I broke my leg and it’s been sitting…
3. There are SO many books I want to read that I feel like I’m in a whirlwind of titles! What a horrible problem to have! 🤣
Maryse–you asked me to give you a heads-up when Severance by N.N. Britt releases (it’s the one about the surviving girlfriend and brother of the singer who’s killed in a mass shooting at a club). It releases on Thursday, 7/25 and is up for preorder on Amazon.
Nay, that’s great! It has to feel good to reclaim a portion of your house and start getting “back to normal.”
It’s awesome not to feel like I’m living in Fred Sanford’s house! We had our old COUCH and huge TV on our front porch! 🤣
Now if I could get the hubs to go along with a couch for my patio, my life will be complete. I’ll never come inside!
But Nay… that kind of sounds like fun!!!! Outside living room!!
Yeah that must be a good feeling, Nay, to finally clear away some stuff that’s been hanging around for ages. Yay.
There’s still more, but the problem is that I have to look through certain things before they get thrown out, so it’s definitely going to be a process. At least we can see our porch now!
Ah that’s the eternal problem, isn’t it. I *know* 98% of that pile can be thrown out or taken to the thrift shop, but I have to go through the pile first just to check in case there’s anything I want to keep…… and maybe I’ll just do that *tomorrow*. LOL. My tidying philosophy in a nutshell.
Thank you Nay!!! I’m going to look it up right now. 😀
Three things:
1. Yeah the cover of the Kylie Scott book is a good one. That guy is hot. I’d better check out this Wouter Peelen too. Interesting name. I like the cover dude on Million Dollar Marriage too. Intense.
2. I’m currently swinging madly between reading historical romance and contemporary romance. i can’t seem to settle on one genre or the other. Then I think, why settle? Why not just read both? So that’s what I do LOL. Some days I’m reading about hot, buff guys in hockey pads and then the next day I’m reading about some uber-masculine guy wearing a pink Georgian waistcoat and a wig. Yup. Crazy town.
3. There’s been a bit of a discussion over on GR about chocolate biscuits (cookies) and now I’m craving Tim Tams. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Tam Yeah, they have their own Wikipedia page. Ha ha ha.
You guys have been making me hungry all day! But I did find Tim Tams at World Market!! Now I just have to get to San Antonio to buy them!
Our walmart here sells Tim Tams.
Oh lord! So does my grocery store! Thanks for mentioning or I never would’ve thought to look!
You need cookies? I’m your gal. No low carb, keto, healthy eating here baby!!!
Ha! I figure I can have one and give the rest to the hubs. Gotta save the bulk of my calories for booze like other normal well balanced dieters do.
Ha ha ha. Reality check.
*snort* 😛
I’m with you Jan.
I read a psych-thriller and a Horseman of the Apocalypse, pretty much simultaneously. Whatever I’m in the mood for, is what I go for… 😀
1, My house actually IS Fred Sanford’s house. 😉
2, I finished Written With Regret and did not like it. 😥 I’m hoping to like my pick for me book: Becoming Calder by Mia Sheridan
3, Booked a last minute hotel at beach! Headed to Maine on Thursday through the weekend. 😎
Oh LUCKY LESLIE!! All the lobster and crab cakes you can eat (and the actual delicious fresh kind, that’s mostly meat, and not filler so I’m told). I would LOVE to go!!!
1. We had a tornado warning by us with really really strong winds on Saturday – there are so many trees down! Big trees too. Luckily I never lost power but people a few streets over still don’t have it.
2. Yesterday I pulled weeds, trimmed/hacked up bushes and did yard clean up from the storm – lots of sticks to pick up – so today I’m super sore. Bending over isn’t fun and now I’m waddling when I get up after I sit down for a while.
3. This weekend I read an ARC of The Penalty Box by Odette Stone (which came out today!!! Woot woot!) and it was amazing!!! I think it’s my favorite book of the series so far. It had a wonderful slow burn and was done perfectly for me.
Ooh thank you, Ashley. I didn’t know that one was out. I read and liked the first two books. And Penalty Box is on KU 😀 😀 *goes to kindle to borrow Penalty Box on KU*
Looks like today is gonna be a hot guy in hockey pads type of day 😉
Definitely a hot guy in hockey pads type of day!
GASP!!! YAY!! I’m so glad because it did sound good. I love when “he” doesn’t notice her at all and she’s been pining!!! 😀
And awww yes… I hate storm debris day. Although always thankful that everything is still standing.
