Reading and other solitary pursuits.

I am curious: How have you imagined yourself at, say, age 65? Fighting the gray hair, your butt has migrated to the belly (serious, it's a thing) your boobs don't even remember perky. A couple of grandkids the same age as you when you started the aesthetic. Your parents are finally over hoping it's just a "phase" you're going through. The upside, you have a full wardrobe prepared for funerals, or do you? Let me know where you realistically see yourself.

For my ravencore, witchcore, cottagecore, etc. friends, I was gifted this tiny nest today on our walk. There are small iridescent feathers woven into the underside. It was quite far (20+ yards) from any trees, and no other obvious signs of habitation.

One of my most favorite books. Contemporary Romance - Stand Alone She is a woman on the run. Pain, loneliness and terror are what she is leaving. Where she is headed doesn’t matter as long as it’s away from the hell her life has become. Joshua Bennett is trapped in a prison of his own making by the memories of his past. Traumatized and isolated, he is a reclusive writer, living a quiet, lonely life, his only companion his dog, Bear. It is what he knows, what he has accepted to be his life. One dark night, one huge storm, and one ice patch brings them together. He finds himself with an unexpected houseguest with no memory. She wakes up a stranger to herself and the man watching her. Even more mysterious is the lack of any sort of identification with her or in her car. She is an enigma to both of them. Trapped by the storm and isolated from the outside world, they slowly open up, learning to trust and love, until the world once again shows up, threatening the fragile peace of their newly discovered world, and tearing them apart. There are many twists and turns as they struggle to find each other, overcoming both the mental and physical elements that keep them apart. A story about overcoming our fears, finding love and learning to live again.

Amazing author

Bikers with an Australian accent!

With no smut in sight for these three books, the story line more than made up for it. Author, Kelley Armstrong, gives romance and mystery while keeping a comfortable flow that doesn't have to rely on props. I hope there's another addition to the series sometime soon. It's been 4 years since Made to be Broken, the second in the series, was released. In this case, the waiting made the third book, Wild Justice, even better. Also the book outlines something else that was made all the sweeter for the waiting.

10 days until release!

It finally came out! Even better than volume one, but the author is still an awful tease! So now we begin counting the days until volume three.

What a surprising and fortunate find at only 0.99!

A hidden gem that should not be missed!

Jet McAlister has a secret. Eddie Chavez has the hots for Jet (not to mention Eddie’s just plain hot). Jet has too many problems to realize that Eddie’s interested. Eddie loses patience when Jet ends her waitressing shift at a strip club with a knife at her throat. Since Eddie’s a cop, he figures he can help. Since Jet’s used to solving everyone’s problems she doesn’t want Eddie’s help. Throw in a Dolly Parton look-alike, a gruff but lovable strip club owner, Jet’s ne’er do well father, his ne’er do well friend, Bear, Bear’s long-suffering, chain-smoking wife Lavonne and the crew from Rock Chick and you’ve got Rock Chick Rescue. Rock Chick Rescue takes you on a wild ride with Jet, Eddie and the gang as they wrestle bad guys in a bagel shop, hit Denver’s backstreet poker tables (with big hair), and help the strippers at Smithie’s take down a would-be murderer. Through this, Jet’s got to learn that even when life made you give up your dreams, you can still end up with the (hot) guy. Eddie’s got to rescue Jet from a bad man (so he can do better things with her) and teach her that some dreams can come true.

Ashlee Morrison has a secret obsession—with a dark and mysterious male. The only problem is that he’s a wolf and she’s becoming convinced that she’s insane. But Ashlee’s wolf is no ordinary canine; he is Tristan Kane, third son in the royal family of the Westervelt Wolf pack. Trapped in his wolf form by his evil father’s men, Tristan has desperately sought a way out of predicament and is shocked to find that the sad but beautiful redhead who has come to the wolf cage can not only hear him, but awakens in him the knowledge that she is his mate, the other half of his soul. Ashlee, unaware that she is half wolf-shifter, agrees to accompany Tristan back to his pack in Maine to seek answers to her past and understand her future. But as Tristan and Ashlee grow closer, familial betrayals will threaten to destroy the fragile love they have started to build. With the odds stacked against them, Ashlee and Tristan will either embrace their love to save the Westervelt Wolves or be lost forever to despair.
