The Sunday Post

Happy Sunday!

The Sunday Post is a weekly news meme, hosted by The Caffeinated Reviewer. I'll be posting the first Sunday of each month and I hope you'll join me.

The weather in July was beautiful, perfect for outdoor activities. The occasional thunderstorm rolled through mostly at night, a couple times while I was at work, and never on the weekends, so that was a highlight of the month.

I've been reading Book of Night by Holly Black but I'm a bit distracted. I found out that the barn where I board my horse will be sold, and I'm a bit too panicked over that to concentrate on my book. Who will it sell to? I've been downgraded to a pleasure rider due to my horse's age and health problems so we'd probably be evicted from a show barn were one to move in. And if the property ever sold to a developer we'd absolutely be told to get out. So I've been looking at alternative housing options, but the reality is I don't want to leave... I just might have to.

I didn't blog much in the month of July, same reason as above, but I did make time for two reviews.

Books I reviewed in July were:

Both are book one in duologies, and I hope to pick up the sequels soon even though my summer reading list is already over ambitious.

I hope you all had a great July and don't be afraid to let me know what you're reading in the comments!

    I recently started The Knight and The Moth by Rachel Gillig and I am liking it a lot. I am going to have to check out more of her work.

Top Ten Romantic Books & Why I Read Them

Image
Valentine's Day approaches! And I have a confession: I don't really care. I don't mean that to be facetious but the reality is I haven't got much of a romantic bone in my body. I actually like the day after Valentine's a little better, because I can buy chocolate at next to nothing because it was all poured into a heartshaped mold that stopped being relevant the moment the clock hit midnight. Given all that, it probably won't come as a shock to you that I don't read a lot of romance novels, and when I do, it's not usually the romantic elements that made me pick it up in the first place. My GoodReads 'Romance' shelf list 27 books in all, and some of them are sequels so I'm not sure they count. Because picking up romance is such a rarity for me, and it is Valentine's Day (almost), I decided my list today should be Top Ten Romantic Books & Why I Read Them .

The Sunday Post

  Happy Sunday! The Sunday Post is a weekly news meme created by Caffeinated Reviewer. I will be posting on the first Sunday of each month and I hope you'll join me. We're in drought. We live in an area that's never seen forest fires and yet we've seen forest fires. We got a couple of days of rain and it wasn't enough to consider the drought broken. Everybody has been advised not to run their wood stoves or fire pits... and naturally you can't actually advise anyone on anything anymore so people are doing whatever it is they want instead of worrying about burning the woods down (or their neighbor's house.) I feel like we're either going to get no snow at all this year or we're going to get hammered with it. The books I've read in November were both rereads. I reread The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern and A Darker Shade of Magic by VE Schwab. I don't plan to post the review of The Night Circus because it's already been posted.  But A...
