Beautiful winters day to sit by the window in sunshine and read.

It‘s been slow going in this house of late. Finally taking a moment to read and rest while the kids are out.

When you have a cat and the little demon keeps killing your book marks you end up cutting the pretty dangly bits off 😒 there is a reason her nickname is princess demon muffin!

Not too far in and I‘m a little concerned that there seems to be a portion of cultural appropriation in here....something I‘m not at all comfortable with. I shall plot on and see how it goes.

Good morning littens:) I picked this up in the city last week...time to start reading.

Ok, this is where I gave up on this series. I had loved it till this book but I didn‘t even make it half way through this one. I can‘t even put my finger on what didn‘t click for me!

I am finally done! The book has been great, life however made it a stretched out read! So many twists and turns in this one! So many small details! I‘m looking forward to the next soon!

It‘s freezing, I‘m wrapped in a floofy blanket and just trying desperately to finish this book which is over due to the library!

Perfect timing with this little chant this morning.

I read the second book in this series a few years back (still trying to list all the books I have read hear...and it‘s taking forever!) and I did enjoy this book. It‘s, to me, much better then the first.

It‘s a dark, wet and cold day in little old Adelaide. And I‘m finally finding a moment to go through some of the ideas I marked off in this book a while back.....

Hmmm....choices, choices!

It‘s a beautiful day today. The sun is out in force, even if it is a bi chilly. I‘m seriously contemplating going out somewhere where nature is in full beauty. It‘s not a day to be indoor, especially with more wild winter weather in store soon.

A good start to a cold morning. Solace with breakfast and a good book.

No time to rest today. So much planning to do. So many places to run. Tomorrow I'm going to need a day of rest

Back to listing down the books I have read in the past. Strange angels is book one in this series by Lili St Crow. I love the characters the St Crow has created for this book! Graves is definitely my favourite though! Mind you Dru is pretty cool too!

Thankyou all so much for your condolences and kindness. I‘m so touched by everyone ❤️

Today I‘m finally able to sit and rest and start what is going to be a long run of self care. I think I need it. I have been pushing my fibro aside for weeks now. So today it‘s me, my book, hot camomile tea, junk food and the rain pouring on the tin roof mirroring my inner landscape. Unfortunate my baby girl cat has deserted me! I think she is cuddled out!

I‘m so sorry I have been MIA recently. We have been going through a hard time in our family. My grandpa, my rock, was diagnosed with terminal bowel cancer this year and the last two weeks saw him decline steeply. I have been spending countless hours with him in hospital, holding his hand, stroking his face. This morning between 1 and 3 he crossed the bridge between this world and the next. He is at peace now and isn‘t in pain.

Me and my girl enjoying a moment at the butt crack of day before chaos again descends

Sometimes the weather mirrors the turmoil inside perfectly. Life here right now is not good. There are things happening in our family that are devastating and we are all hurting. There is little time to stop and breathe, but I‘m taking it when it comes.

Me and my boy. He is my sweet companion. And he has a thing for books.

Breakfast and book equals a happy me.

Have I mentioned how much I love these books. And I think what others have said it right. This book is brilliant and things really start to get going! I can‘t wait to read the 4th.

Starting this one today

Been sitting waiting at the doctor for 3 hours. Why didn't I bring my ipad with book on it. So so so bored.

Today is the freezing promise of winter. It‘s a max of 15C and the promise of hail and possible thunder. I‘m sitting here with earphones in and crocheting my daughters blanket! Perfect!

This was the book that has lead me to believe that fairy tale retelling might not be fire me. My dislike of this is personal and in no way reflective of the write. It just was not for me.

Book two and we see werewolves come into the frame. Not just any werewolves, Jim But here version of werewolves! I‘m actually a fan of Butchers writing. I know he is either a love him or leave him author, but I‘m in the first collective.

I read the first Dresden book a good few years ago (just revisiting the series now). Jim Butcher crafts an amazing fantasy story with so many twists and turns. So far I have to say I really love Bob! Bob isn‘t something you see every day!

New audio book while crocheting!

Finally finished this on audiobook tonight. It‘s taken a while due to so many things happening here in real life! I think I actually enjoy audio hooks, I just can‘t listen to them as much as I would read normal books because it‘s easier to listen out when reading a book then when you have headphones on! But like them I do and I‘ll continue to listen to them!

I actually enjoyed this story. It‘s sappy, yes, but a good romance.

Woman most wild finally got here yesterday. I had brooded it from the library. It realised it was going to need a lot more time then the library would allow so purchased it. Today I dig into these three.

Finished the second book in the prophecy of the sisters trilogy today. I can‘t say enough how much I love these books! I‘m dearly delighted with Dimitri and hope to see much more of him in the third book. Yep I‘m Dimitri over James here!

I read this book a couple of years ago so thought I better add it before I add the second one I completed today. I really love Sinks writing. This story is gripping and really draws you in.

When I heard Meyer was releasing a new version of twilight a few years ago I made a bee line to the book shop to grab a copy. I wasn‘t sure how this would go, it was to be different obviously and I honestly loved the original twilight. But I truely enjoyed reading this. Loved Edythe. It‘s not for everyone but I enjoyed the new rendition.

Woke to pouring rain this morning. I hope this is finally the end of the yucky heat. My girl and I are watching the rain and reading on our favourite lounge by the window! I think she is sick of the heat also! It‘s just not nice for a furry little cat.

First time trying an audio book. Still really unwell and not focusing, and today hubby has succumbed. H had been trying to fool himself he wasn‘t getting this the last few days so that‘s two kids and three adults in this house down and out! Hope audio books work well for me! Would be so good for times I can‘t focus well.

Love a happy ending. Not so keen on the connections with the wolves and their soul mates 😩 seriously they are kids! Not good! But enjoyed the story, and loved the ending being sorted without full on war.

Happy Easter all from us to you.

We are spending our day our traditional way. Roast lamb lunch and watching Sharknado! Have a wonderful weekend.

Bringing in a much bigger enemy into this story switched dynamics and gave E and B something to really fight for.

Not my favourite book in the series. Maybe cause it was missing Edward so much and I am team Edward!

I know people either love or hate Twilight but I am firmly in the Love It camp. It‘s the book I wish had been around when I was a teenager but I had to wait till I was near 30 for! I recon I read this just after the movie came out after being encouraged by my eldest daughters friend who has loved the series. Never looked back!

I‘m still sick as anything. Want to stay in bed and not move from pain and headache kind of sick. Cancelled so many plans this week already, only to have them taken over by sitting at the local drs with a sick kid (same virus that‘s turned to ear infection for the littlest) and having the other two kids getting this as well. It‘s going to be a super long week.

This was not the end I had really hoped for. Don‘t get me wrong it‘s a good ending for Sookie, but I had really hoped it would have been a different ending!

Eric is drinking from someone decidedly not Sookie....who then turns up very very dead! Things between sookie and Eric seem to be becoming more and more rocky with outside influence seemingly to blame. God I love a good Sookie Stackhouse book.

More secrets from Sookies grandmothers past, her relationship with Eric a little rocky, and faeries issues. Another good book from Charlaine Harris

I‘m officially down with whatever my mum had this week and I feel like hell to be honest. I have spent half today just sleeping and now at midnight I can‘t sleep cause I can‘t breathe well! Typical. I‘m just going to hide in bed with this till hubby is ready for sleep. Wish me luck.

Really beginning to like the idea of Sookie and Eric being a couple. And we have more of Hunter 😊

There we‘re are out the supe closet, the far are about o go to war and a dead body has appeared outside Merlottes. I really loved this book. Harris is an amazing writer.

Sookie is about to get some interesting news.....from skeletons in her grandmas closest to her own heritage. I really enjoyed this book and loved meeting Hunter.

Barry this bellboy is back in time for a vampire summit and a murder trail vampire style.
