I love the Spirit Caller series and there are only two books left. I'm both dreading and anticipating the next book, "Dead Living" by Krista D. Ball, due out late this year.

Sunday Book Share #147

 

 I'm participating in The Sunday Post, hosted by The Caffeinated Book Reviewer; Showcase Sunday hosted by Books, Biscuits and Tea; Stacking the Shelves, hosted by Tynga's Reviews; and Bought Borrowed and Bagged, hosted by TalkSupe. All of these memes are about sharing the print and digital books received and/or posts and events on the blog.

Another quiet week on the blog. I have some tours coming up but otherwise the blog will continue to be quiet. I'm trying to find a new rhythm as well as catch up on reviews but I'm not going anywhere, just tweaking and shifting things around.

Read Proud Listen Proud: Connecting with LGBTQ Teens through Literature

I got a press release about this the other day and decided it was worth sharing (I delete about 98% of the press releases that I get). On a related note, one day after receiving the email, on June 26th, the US Supreme Court made same-sex marriage legal in all 50 states of the US. :)

I'm reading a cozy mystery that I borrowed from my library, "Book Clubbed", by Lorna Barrett. The quote is from page 57  in the hardcover  (56 was a blank page between chapters).

She tried to put those thoughts out of her mind as she went through her usual morning routine and concentrated on the tasks that needed to be accomplished during the day.
