I'm participating in The Sunday Post, hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer; Showcase Sunday hosted by Books, Biscuits and Tea; Stacking the Shelves, hosted by Tynga's Reviews,
Bought Borrowed and Bagged, hosted by TalkSupe, and Library Loot co-hosted by The Captive Reader and Silly Little Mischief. All of these memes give book bloggers the chance to share print
and digital books
they've received, and the posts and events at their blogs.
I won't be around much this week. My father is not doing well and I'm heading down to see him and my stepmother for a few days. I'll try to catch up on commenting when I get back. In good news, my asthma flare is officially over after six long weeks. Wheeeeeeeeeeee!

Odd, interesting, or funny search phrases leading to the blog: Cats still dominate my search terms :D - "how to catch a cat", "cat catch the red dot", and "cat thursday" There were some new non-cat terms too - "dads pin-up calendar story" LOL "night broken reviews" :) and "westward to strange", which probably comes from either, "Westward, Yo!" or "Westward, Home!", both by J.A. Campbell.

Best wishes for your father and hopes he gets better soon.
ReplyDeleteI do like the sound of Taken with you - as someone who is 40+ It's nice to see a book featuring a heroine in that age range .
Have a great week and Happy Reading.

ReplyDeleteI'm delighted your asthma is better, but sorry your dad isn't well. I hope his health improves soon. Safe travels, and take care. I'll be checking out your guest post on writing older heroines; as a reader of a certain age, I like to see women in their middle years get some of the attention (and romance)!

Nick - My Haul
I hope your dad gets better. Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteSending good thoughts for your father. I enjoyed your guest post by Shannon Stacey about writing an older heroine. I am in my fifties and wish I could find more books that make the MC closer to my age (though the woman on the cover looks alot younger than 40 to me). Hidden Doors, Secret Rooms looks like an intense read.
ReplyDeleteHope all goes well this week.
I hope your father feels better. Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteHome to Stay sounds good, hope you enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHi. My blogger friend just told me about your 'funny search phrases' section. It's a great idea--I always think mine are so bizarre. But then I see you put in 'westward to strange'--that's actually my own book title. I'm Ray Litt. Anyway, small world. Take care and keep up the great site.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your asthma gone but dang, your father's not doing well ! Seems than when one problem is over, another begins. Have a great week with him *hugz*
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts are with your Dad and you. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my Sunday Post.
I'm very sorry about your father. My thoughts are with you.
ReplyDeleteTry to have a good week.
Happy reading!
