I am Participating in #BlogAhead2016

Posted on October 1, 2016 by fundinmental

It’s time, once again, for Blog Ahead! Woohoo!

This challenge it’s all about getting ahead and giving yourself a blogging buffer.

It’s amazing how much having extra scheduled posts can make during emergencies, vacations or just when dealing plain ol’ blogging slumps. It can really cut the stress during every day blogging as well 🙂 And what better way to get ahead than with the support of other bloggers?

Dates:

Begins– Oct 1

Ends– Oct 31

Who Can Join?

Anyone who has a blog.

Blog genre/topic doesn’t matter.

You can be a reviewer or an author, brand new, been at it for years, etc.

Everyone is welcome!

Goal:

The goal is to hunker down for the month of October and increase the number of scheduled posts you have by 30.

Ex. On Oct 1st if you have 5 posts scheduled you would then need to end the month with 35 posts scheduled.

Whatever number you’re starting with just add 30 to get your final goal.

To sign up, visit burning cats & serving soup.

MY CURRENT STATUS.

I spent a lot of time blogging ahead. My hubby, Mr Wonderful, has a lot of time off the last six weeks of the year, so I used this challenge as motivation to get ahead, instead of scrambling trying to put something together in between the FUN we have traveling, golfing, and hanging out with family. I feel good about where I ended up. How about you?

Nov: 26
Dec: 17
Total: 43

Now the real challenge is to stay ahead! 🙂

Sherry’s Shelves #80 – I’m on a Reading Binge!

Posted on May 15, 2016 by fundinmental

Sherry’s Shelves #80 is my weekly update from May 8 – May 14, 2016.

Sunday Post #201 Countdown to Spring..

Sometimes I get the reading bug and I cannot stop picking up the next book, then the next book, then the next book…

I have also been doing a lot of work outside in preparation for my mother’s arrival this week. I am super excited and know the family from Alabama will be dropping in too. We will be playing endless games of cards along with many dips in the pool and a barbecue or two. I love summertime and it has arrived here in the Florida Panhandle in full force!

I must spend more time visiting you guys and sharing some comment love along with writing some reviews that I owe to some fabulous authors and I want to thank them for their patience.

I also want to thank Fiktshun for a box of books I won from her some time ago. Once I started, there were so many wonderful reads I couldn’t stop. The past three days I have gotten caught up in The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken and am lost in this dystopian world. I am sharing the books so you can see why I cannot stop reading this story. I got all three of them. I must find out what happens to Ruby and Liam! There are also two novellas, but I do not have them…yet.

I’m a 1%er…on Goodreads

Posted on April 8, 2016 by fundinmental

I’m a 1%er of reviewers on Goodreads!

I have written 477 reviews since joining Goodreads on May 1st, 2012.

One of my first reviews was 9 Lives by George Moser. See it HERE. Buy it HERE.

Out of all the reviews I’ve written, this is the review that got the most attention:

The Beach by Jaye Frances. See it HERE. Buy it HERE.

I eat and breathe books and love to get lost in the words authors write. I love sharing all the wonderful books and authors I have found since being a member and I hope you do too.

Goodreads shares so many fantastic books and authors you may never hear of if you are not a member, so you are missing out. You may want to consider joining. I look forward to seeing you there!

Friday 56 #11 – New cover for Sierra by Taylor Dean

Posted on May 23, 2014 by fundinmental

The Friday 56 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.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Taylor Dean has been revamping her covers for the novels.

New Lancaster House and The Middle Aisle covers with a Giveaway

I am going to share my Friday 56 for the Sierra novel. Taylor Dean has a way of ending books that will blow your mind. It’s not what you think it will be and your emotions may overwhelm you. Be prepared.

My favorite book of hers – so far – Sierra, also has a new cover and it is fantastic.

I am curious – which one do you like the best and why?

New Cover for Sierra

(Page 56 of paperback)

Alyssa slowly stretched out her index finger and rested it on the trigger.

“Do it,” he said roughly.

If she pulled the trigger, then Pa won. She wanted revenge.
