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 Things On My Bookish Bucket List

Image
My picks for the Tuesday Top Ten, as invented by  The Broke and Bookish . Today's theme, the Top Ten Things On My Bookish Bucket List ( could be blogging related, book related etc. -- meeting authors, reading x many books per year, finishing a daunting book, etc .) made me have to think. I suppose finishing  my To-be-read-list, an improbable task, because the list keeps growing. I would love to meet JK Rowling...but I think I'd panic, forget what to ask/say her, and just stare at her and make her uncomfortable. I'd also like to meet John Ajvide Lindqvist because he made me love horror. I want to read Watership Down and Jurassic Park ...but for some odd reason I keep putting them off. I would like to have my copy of Miss Peregrine's School for Peculiars, signed. I'd like to have at least one of my own stories published... ...and see it on a Best-seller list ;-) I want to know how the Kingkiller Chronicles ends, which mean Patrick Rothfuss would have to

Top Ten Worlds I'd Never Want to Live In

Image
Today's topic was listed as Love Freebie   hosted by  That Artsy Reader Girl ,  but I couldn't think of anything romantic, so I picked the Top Ten Worlds I'd Never Want to Live In . In a book, you can go anywhere, do anything, meet anyone... But not every captivating story has a pleasant setting. It's one thing to imagine a world, it's entirely another to actually go there. 1. Arrakis, from Dune by Frank Herbert.  It's too effing hot! Too much sun, too much sand, too much sweat. If the heat doesn't kill you, the sand-worms might... 2. Purgatory-Golf Course, from I Am Behind You by John Ajvide Lindqvist . It's got never-ending blue skies and green grass, what's not to love? I'm just resistant to the idea of a place with no food, no water, no sun... A place where the sins of your past will haunt you until you bleed. 3. Hollywood & Church of Scientology, from Leah Remini's Troublemaker. These are two locations that actually exist in the
