There is never enough time to read all the books I want to read. I would need to be immortal and I still don’t think I could read them all. I am determined to spread out my reading this year, between my TBR, review books and library books…and other books that happen to be laying around, either on a shelf, table, hearth, or the ones that haven’t made it to my TBR yet. My goal is, at least, twelve. That will average one a month.

To see all my library books, enter Library in the search bar or in the categories drop down menu. Happy reading.

American Magic finds a home in Pensacola Florida #americanmagic #americascup

Posted on by

Mr Wonderful took this photo of American Magic off the TV today.

American Magic is making it’s home here in Pensacola, Florida. It was so cool seeing Pensacola on the sail, garnering international attention for out city. Mr Wonderful and I have spent numerous days at the port watching them.

They will be located at Warehouse 10, with an $8.3 million dollar grant to beautify the place. They’ll add an addition to the warehouse, a dock and boat ramp and 170 jobs to the city.

The 37th America’s Cup Preliminary Regatta in Vilanova i la Geltrú, Spain started out with postponements because of weather and the conditions never cooperated. American Magic won the first even of the 2024 America’s Cup season today. Only two races were held because of light and unpredictable winds. I think that says a lot about American Magic and I look forward to good things coming their way.

That means we have our eye on the prize for next year’s America’s Cup.

Sherry’s Shelves – 5.28 – 6.3.23 #weeklyupdates

Posted on by

Hi Everyone. Mr Wonderful was out of town, so it was a quiet week for me. I binged on the Memorial Day Las Vegas week and Lucifer…again. Of course, I did some reading, some blogging and wrote some reviews. I have been doing great at keeping current on my reviews. I, also, now highlight in my ereader, instead of taking notes. By writing the reviews almost as soon as I finish reading, I find it so much easier, the novel and my feelings fresh in my mind. Sometimes, it’s hard to stop reading long enough to write the reviews. I have so many books on my currently reading shelf, which is…for the most part…review books. Sometimes I just can’t say no. I have also been trying some new authors through NetGalley and Book Sirens, and some books outside my favorite genres.

How about you? What would you like to share today?

Til next week, stay safe.

My TBR total has not changed because the books I have been reading are on my Currently Reading shelf. Also, I must confess, I have more books to add to my Want To Read shelf. I hope to get to that soon and see my TBR total soar. LOL It is so hard not to click on those freebies that seem to be a good fit for me and grabbing some from NetGalley & BookSirens. Do you have a favorite place for getting books?

My main reason for doing this post is to share the books I am interested in and maybe helping you add some to your shelves. 🙂

I am showcasing Restless Mayhem by Sue Coletta for two reasons. One, Sue Coletta is a go to author when I need a reading boost. Mr Mayhem is one of my favorite villains and
Shawnee is coming into her own. It is a series, so I recommend beginning with Wings of Mayhem. Two, it is due for release on April 26, 2023 by Crow Talons Publishing, with a preorder price of 99 cents. It could be read as a stand alone, but I highly recommend starting at the beginning.

A Busy Weekend

Posted on by

I was super busy this weekend having a yard sale. I had been working on this for some time and finally made the call. It went well and I even had a customer that was willing to pick up all the left over clothes for her church. I could not have done this without Mr Wonderful. It was lots of work and I will never do this again. LOL How about you?

Have a wonderful week.
