Hello fellow bloggers. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

I was looking for a music video to post and came across this fabulous one from a new to me artist. It put a smile on my face and anything that does that I love to share.

Sunday Post #201 Countdown to Spring..

Stacking The Shelves {200}

Hello everyone. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

My post this week will be a short one. We made a road trip to Birmingham, Alabama. It is my mother in law’s 80th birthday. A milestone that we wanted to share with her. Mr Wonderful’s brother, wife and one of the daughters came in for the occasion. We met up with other family members and had a wonderful meal, drinks and birthday cake. MMMMMM

It seems like spring is in the air. I know I mentioned the azaleas blooming last week, but now they are out in all their glory. Gorgeous, but I wonder what that means when (?) the cold hits.

As we say goodbye to January, we are getting ready for Mardi Gras!

Laissez les bons temps rouler

(Let the good times roll)

Have a great week!

Friday 56 #117 – Mind Prey by John Sanford @J_Sandford

.
The Friday 56 is hosted by Freda’s Voice.The only rules are to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your ereader and find any sentence or a few ( no spoilers) that grabs you and post it.

Please join Rose City Reader every Friday to share the first sentence or so of the book you are reading along with you initial thoughts about the sentence, impressions of the book, or anything else the opener inspires.

Please include the title of the book and the author’s name.

~~~

A messy bookshelf is the norm around the Fundin household. I just cannot help but pick up another book and another and another…

I have a few of John Sanford’s novels, of which Mind Prey is one. I bought this quite some time ago from the Mobile Public Library. I have also checked out many other books by him and have enjoyed each and every one.

I need to get back to the library and catch up on his latest.

Have you read any of his work?
Mind Prey (Lucas Davenport, #7)

Amazon  Goodreads

My 56

Then he was on her, slamming her back against the stone wall, ripping at her jacket, at her blouse. She screamed at him, “No, don’t, John…”

(Page 56 in hardcover,1st edition, published in 1995)

Book Beginnings

The storm blew up late in the afternoon, tight, gray clouds hustling over the lake like dirty, balled-up sweat socks spilling from a basket. A chilly wind knocked leaves from the elms, oaks, and maples at the water’s edge. The white phlox and black-eyed susans bowed their heads before it.

GOODREADS BLURB: From the bestselling author of Night Prey and Winter Prey…an all-new Lucas Davenport thriller.

Run for it…It was raining when psychiatrist Andi Manette left the parent-teacher conference with her two young daughters, and she was distracted. She barely noticed the red van parked beside her, barely noticed the van door slide open as they dashed up to the car. The last thing she did notice was the hand reaching out for her and the voice from out of the past — and then the three of them were gone.

Hours later, deputy chief Lucas Davenport stood in the parking lot, a blood-stained shoe in his hand, the ground stained pink around him, and knew that this would be one of the worst cases he’d ever been on. With an urgency born of dread, he presses the attack, while in an isolated farmhouse, Andi Manette does the same, summoning all her skills to battle an obsessed captor. She knows the man who has taken her and her daughters, knows there is a chink in his armor, if only she can find it. But for both her and Davenport, time is already running out.

John Sandford’s novels have always been extraordinary for their harrowing twists, unforgettable characters, and crackling prose. But Mind Prey tops them all. It is the work of a true master.

Sunday Post #201 Countdown to Spring..

Hello fellow bloggers. Hope you had a great week and a great holiday. This is my first Sunday since mid December and I am not even going to try and update you on what I have been up to. We will just pick it up from here.

It’s hard to get back into the swing of things. I had blogged ahead, so didn’t have to do much for the past three weeks, but drop in and try to comment, tweet…

I will be updating and sharing my reading challenges soon. I completed them all for 2016 and look forward to doing them again this year. What challenges do you do? I’ll stop by and check them out.

One of my main goals for the new year is to get my blogging more organized. I read a lot, but it is hard to get the reviews written. I plan on doing back reviews, but from here on out I am determined to write them as soon as I have finished the book…or as close to that if I can. I do a lot of road trips and read a lot on the road, so those usually get lost somewhere. I write notes on whatever is at head, whether it’s a gas receipt, a napkin…At least I went through and rated most of them for last year, because they deserve some attention!!! I have always tried to post everything on my blog, but this year I think I will be doing some on Amazon, Goodreads, LibraryThing…

Do you have the same problem…can’t fit them all in? What do you do?

Any hoo…I do have a few things to share…

I hope everyone is enjoying the dog days of summer. I know I am. It has been very hot (high 90′s, but I swear it feels like the 100s to me) and sunny here. ‘They’ have issued heat index warnings, recommending limiting outdoor exposure.

I am loving every minute of it, but am careful about how long I am in direct sunlight. My pool is very inviting, but floating is not an option at this time. Doesn’t really matter to me, because I spend a lot of my time underwater.

You see, I was a mermaid in another life, so water is second nature to me..
