Recent audiobook listens that I recommend:

Threshing Day by Rebecca Yarros

The Empyrean Series Book #3.5

Narrated by large cast

Fourth Wing Book #1

Iron Flame Book #2

Onyx Storm Book #3

Goodreads blurb: "Enter the brutal and elite world of a war college for dragon riders."

My two cents: Action-packed, magic, dragons, venin (really bad guys), scribes, royalty, war, love, and a cat named Broccoli.  It's so action packed, and both the dramatized (multi-cast) and duet style of narration are terrific.  Hold onto your seat!

Check the trigger warnings.

Reliquary by Hannah Whitten

Narrated by Lauren Fortgang

Audible blurb: "A young woman is lured to her late fiancé's remote island estate—only to uncover eerie family secrets, a haunting past, and a monstrous hunger stirring beneath the sea in this deliciously atmospheric horror debut from New York Times bestselling author Hannah Whitten."

My two cents: Whoa, did NOT see that coming!

Can't say much more, so I don't spoil this wild private island horror story.

The Nightmare's Kiss Book #1 by Skyla Gray

Monster Research Facility Series

Narrated by Rachel Lebland

The Revenant's Heart Book #2

The Imaginary Friend's Obsession #3

The Harbinger's Redemption #4 (haven't listened to it yet)

Goodreads blurb for each book:

"How can a living nightmare bring such sweet dreams?

Can a dead heart learn to beat again?

Could her imaginary friend be a real threat?

Will their love save the world, or end it?"

My two cents: Sure, romance, but we've got sirens, Frankenstein's monsters, ghosts, shadows, nightmares come true...oh, it's just a load of fun, but not for the creatures imprisoned at the government facility.

Lucky Coffee

September 29 is both Maneki Neko Day and National Coffee Day.

Funny thing; October 1 is International Coffee Day.

That's just two days away.

Why?  Who knows.

Maybe someone didn't drink their coffee before setting up either holiday. 😹

These bamboo Maneki Neko socks were purchased at The Lucky Cat MEWseum in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Had a great time there; encourage any who is nearby to stop in and enjoy!

"The maneki-neko (招き猫, lit. 'beckoning cat') is a common Japanese figurine which is often believed to bring good luck to the owner." - Wikipedia

Coffee makes the world go 'round.

Even us tea drinkers know it.

As long as The Hubby can get a cup of hot-as-Hades/black-as-sin at any coffee shop, I'll get an Earl Grey cuppa, and merrily we roll along.

Autumn PO'M

It's PO'Monday!

A few images taken on September 29, 2018.

The sun was bright, but the shadows were deep.

The top photo makes Celestial PO'M look rather devilish, no?

His coat had many colors, and I don't always show his orangey-white underside much, as in the middle photo.

And then, he'd had enough of that, so a good shot of his whiskerage for the last.
