Collections

It's Walkin' and Readin' Wednesday!

A rag-tag collection of items today:

New stray in the yard, taken as Henry and I watched through the window.

Smith Street Black and White kitty.

Woodpecker feather, found on sidewalk.

See the kitty next to the mailbox?

Hickory Tussock Moth Catepillar.

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.

  1. Taking a walk can always make you surprised by the fun things that you see along the way. Even a little caterpillar or a bumble bee and especially a cat.

  11. As always, we loved seeing what you saw on your walk. I wonder if the stray in your yard has a home?

  12. Your kitty friends are lovely, I’m sorry one of them is possibly a new stray and hope it’s not just lost from its home.

    All those books sound a little too intense for me, but I’m glad you are enjoying them.
