Oh my gosh! Got into some super reads in September, (eleven!) stretched my reading chops with a horror, a couple thrillers, political conspiracy, and K-9 (service dog) mysteries. I really love the stories about those valiant, stout-hearted canines who do so much for us without so much as a clue what it all means. (Or maybe they do! Long as we’re happy–they’re happy.)
Greatly enjoy working on graphics and sometimes when I see a particular cover love to stretch the imagination into a bookstagram. And it’s fun heading into fall to switch themes now with harvest colors and later, Halloween. I stay on the lookout for new tutorials, but so often when I’ve tried the technique discover it’s for business or paid accounts only. (Either that or my programs are just way too old.) And “stories”? Gees, I could write a book on what I DON’T know about stories. So, no I don’t know what I’m doing, but at least I can still deliver a review on a timely basis.

The books above came from author requests, NetGalley, and/or part of book tours. The ole October TBR is stacking up to include a number of cozy mysteries from NetGalley for reviews and book tours as well as an author request. The Throwback Thursdays have included books published more than a year ago but reviewed this year by the CE. My conundrum has become the skewed stats on Goodreads and Amazon accounts as I receive his books through BookBub but they appear on both Amazon and Goodreads. (EEK!) Taking his reviews out of my numbers, I’m still five short of achieving my Goodreads Challenge. Yes, I’m working on fixing that…in the meantime
A big thank to all my new followers and as always so appreciate you who continue to read and comment! Thank you!

I have not read any of the above, but have 4 on my TBR. I recently requested Malice based on your review and am looking forward to reading it. I also have a bunch of cozies on my TBR for October. I hope you post a picture of your quilt when you are finished it.

Oh, I did–post a pic of the quilt, altho it’s not real sharp, in my August re-cap. My sis-in-law did such a beautiful job of creating the top, pretty colors and well coordinated, but it’s a BIG job! Four of those on your TBR–that’s pretty good! I think you’ll enjoy Malice and am interested to see if you agree with my review. It’s another scary indictment of our prescription meds in this country.

I remember seeing that. So you are putting it together with the bottom and batting then? That is a big job.

I had the batting and the backing, but the quilt top she made for us was an atypical size and didn’t fit a standard queen. So my August guest, Kitra, got in and found that my daughter-in-law had borrowed her mother’s sewing machine. We got it together. Now I’m doing all the “inside” stitching. Gave up trying to be artistic. Now just trying to get it done according to batting specs. 😜
