Navy buddies didn’t make it in July–now we are looking forward to their visit in August–ah, the dog days of summer. I must admit, so far NWI has been gorgeous and for July–couldn’t complain. I did spend some time out in the garden where my tomato plants went nuts. Must have been all that good fertilizer the C.E. insisted they needed! I’ve got enough zuccini to feed an army, but it appears the bunnies beat me to the carrots and beets.
These are all fun and several will be going on my favorites list! Clockwise beginning at one o’clock: The Colonel and the Bee by Patrick Canning Murder Made to Order by Lena Gregory Dirty Who? by Jerry Kennealy S’More Murders by Maya Corrigan A Soufflé of Suspicion by Daryl Wood Gerber Shelved Under Murder by Victoria Gilbert See You Soon, Afton by Brent Jones The Perfect Friend by Barbara Copperthwaite
In July, I reviewed the above eight novels, most of which were for book tours and the C.E. reviewed another four, which if you consider his review of The Invisible Mind entailed his reading #1 and 2 of the series prior to #3-The Invisible Mind, he actually contributed a great deal more (for which I’m extremely grateful!).
The Other Vietnam War by Marc Cullison #BlogTour #BookReview
The Invisible Mind by M. T. Bass #BlogTour #BookReview
#ThrowbackThursday – The Dying Hour by Rick Mofina – a #BookReview
These books covered a wide variety of genres from cozy mysteries to sci-fi and police procedurals and wartime biographies. The books were gleaned from NetGalley and author requests, though having been overwhelmed with author requests have had to become increasingly selective.
So what’s up next? SOOO many, but in August have already reviewed Knot My Sister’s Keeper (a #MustRead)!! First half of August:
Due to publish in September, am looking forward to the new Margaret Mizushima book, Burning Ridge, A Timber Creek K-9 Mystery. (Can’t wait!) I read Hunting Hour last year and loved it. You might wish to check out that book about her K-9 service dog (Robo)–sooo good.
Hope this summer is going well for all of you: Blue Skies, Easy Breezes, Green Gardens, and nothing but GOOD books coming your way!
A big thank to all my new followers and as always so appreciate you who continue to read and comment! Thank you!

Looks like you had a good July with your reading. I have several of them on my TBR, I just need the time to get to them. I really like the look of the K-9 series and will check the last one out before reading the new one. Have a great August reading.

Yeah, I’m a sucker for a book that features a dog and I really did love her book, looking forward to the next one. Enjoy and luck with your August as well. Looks like our Navy buddies will be arriving next week–we’ll be busy.

i will have to sit down occasionally to try and keep up a little, as historically our visitors stay awhile.

It’s been a busy month over at Rosepoint! I’m glad your garden is doing so well… even attracting the bunnies. Lol. How did your flowers fare after winter?

Actually pretty good. I still have two ferns and several of the other plants but lost the rest. I’ve tried planting several new ones hoping they’ll make it this winter. Mostly going with hostas now. They are hardy!
