The Sunday Post

 

Happy Sunday and welcome to my Sunday Post.

The Sunday Post is a blog news meme hosted byCaffeinated Reviewer. I will be posting on the first Sunday of every month and I hope you'll join me.

My weather report for the month of September is 'delightfully sunny.' But there's been a chill in the evening air that wasn't there before, leaving an undeniable truth: Summer is over.

My posts were few for the month. My cable provider wants us to update the boxes and our punishment for failure to comply is that our internet doesn't work as often as it should. The company is living life old-school with a, "You want it, come and get it." I'm just not desperate enough...yet.

The reviews I did manage to get posted were:

My reviews for the month of October will include and ARC of Elphie by Gregory Maguire expected out on 3/25/2025. And since it is October, I'm hoping to get in a good horror novel or two, but we'll see how it goes.

How was your September? Do you read any horror for October?

    Oh my gosh! I totally get the internet thing. At least your provider is letting you know. Mine said nothing and when it went out two weeks ago, I had to drive into work an extra day to wait on the new modem to arrive. I will say it now works much better. No horror for me. I'll leave that to the rest of you.

      I probably should just cave and make time to get the new one.

      I didn't realize how much I depend on it until it slowed down.

    I love a little chill in the air in the evenings. I am looking forward to cooler weather. It still feels like summer here. Next week is looking better though. I am sorry to hear you've been dealing with spotty internet service. My husband and I both depend on it for work. I'd probably be okay without it for personal use, even if I would be cranky and unhappy about it, but my daughter would probably think the world was ending. LOL But work-wise, it would be a real problem for both my husband and me.

    I really want to read S.A. Chakraborty's trilogy. I have the first book. I am really interested in Black Woods, Blue Sky. I hope you are having a great week!

    Our Internet provider replaced our box when he replaced the line that got knocked down by the electrical provider when he came out after the fellow who cut down a limb that fell in Hurricane Beryl knocked down the electrical wire!

      I know someone who had something similar happen...a car hit a pole so the power was out, but while they were replacing the damaged pole they backed the heavy machinery into another pole. they were a few days without power.

   Happy Sunday! Welcome to my Sunday Post, a weekly blog news meme hosted by  caffeinatedbookreviewer . My blog is on the small side, so I decided I'll only be posting the first Sunday of each month and I hope you'll join me. The month of February has been eventful. I've had some wild weather in my neck of the woods: real feel listed as 11 degrees one day, switching to 60s and endless rain, and then to dry windstorms that brought trees down. I successfully managed not to freeze, drown, or fly. I became an aunt to a beautiful niece, who just narrowly escaped being a leap year baby, and I'm pretty excited about her arrival. My Kindle Touch was finally lost to the ravages of time but was replaced swiftly with a Kindle Paperwhite. I also reviewed the following stories: Lethal White by Robet Galbraith Training Strategies for Dressage Riders by Charles de Kunffy What Feasts at Night by T.Kingfisher (just released!) Troubled Blood by Robert Galbraith I originally planned to ...

Top Ten Books I Was Assigned to Read in School

Image
Today's Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by ThatArtsyReaderGirl , is all about Books I Was Assigned to Read in School. I've been a lifelong avid reader, but I was always that student that once a story was assigned, I was unlikely to want to read it. Like accidental reverse psychology, I can count on one hand the number of books assigned that I actually liked... three of which made today's list. 1. Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck - I've read 2 Steinbeck novels, this one, and The Red Pony  and I hated them both. I don't get the fascination with him. 2. Animal Farm by George Orwell - This is about communist pigs, if you like that sort of thing which I didn't. 3. The Outsiders by SE Hinton - I know a lot of people absolutely love this book, I'm just not one of them. 4. The Yearling by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings - I was too young to be reading a story this upsetting. 5. Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls - This was also upsetting. 6. The Eye in the Door by Pat ...
