We are having a pretty decent thunder storm as I write this on Tuesday evening. Unfortunately, I took Maggie to boarding for the night as Wizard’s having a minor procedure this morning. She’s terrified of thunder and I hope she’s okay. I’m such a dog mom, LOL, and really fretting about her. Hopefully she’s okay.
You know what I’m not doing? Reading many books right now. I’m mainly reading research stuff online, mostly. However I did finish Rebecca Yarrow’s THE LAST LETTER. Wowzer, she had a twist at the end that I did not see coming. Serious warning: If anyone is thinking about reading this book and is looking for a traditional romance only, don’t read this book. This book has a romance, but it’s also a heartbreaker and the sad stays with you. I loved it, and have been thinking about it this week. But it’s not for every romance reader.
I also have been listening to the nonfiction book, THE POWER OF REGRET by Daniel H Pink. I heard him on a podcast and he caught my interest, which is how I impulse buy of books these days :-). I mainly listen to that when I’m cleaning, otherwise I’m listening to podcasts.
What are you reading or listening to? Is anything new or different catching your interest?
Happy Wednesday!!

I’m currently listening to James Rollins THE STARLESS CROWN. He’s gone back to his fantasy roots for a trilogy. It’s a basic band of misfits quest fantasy but so far, I’m enjoying it.
I haven’t been able to get into Yarros’ books though I know you’ve enjoyed them. Not a fan of heartbreak these days but so glad you found a book that keeps you remembering it. That takes talent.
Hope Wiz’s procedure goes/went well and hopefully Maggie will be okay and simply happy to see you when you pick her up.
Happy Hump Day!

I hope Maggie was okay yesterday with the thunderstorm. I also hope all went well for Wizard this morning.
It’s a hot one here today. We’re into the upper 80’s and the humidity came in. There is also smoke from Canada’s fires. I will be adding to the mess by grilling a London broil tonight 😉.
I’m still waiting on Joey Jones book, Behind The Badge to come in. I try reading my normal reads at night but still not staying awake.
Here’s to a nice Wednesday afternoon.

Silver, I usually like band of misfits stories (assuming I can connect with the characters). Glad your enjoying it!
I think at our age, we know what we like in books. I do like Yarros, but I can see why her books are not for you. And I fully get why people don’t want to read about heartbreak.
Wiz is home now and resting. We’ll know more in a couple weeks, but this is all part of an ongoing medical thing. Thanks!
I’m picking Maggie up in a little while. They haven’t called, so I assume she’s okay. They’re good about taking care of her.
Hope your day is going well!

Viki, I think Maggie must be fine, but I’m going to pick her up soon. I really felt bad for her last night.
I hope the fires in Canada are out soon. Sorry about the misery spilling over toward you. London broil sounds good!
Hopefully you’ll get BEHIND THE BADGE soon.
Have a great dinner!
