Review – Play Better Golf With Easy Yoga by Patricia Bacall @PatriciaBacall1 #BenesserraPublishing

Amazon / KindleUnlimited / Audiobook / Goodreads

MY REVIEW

I never would have read this if it hadn’t been for a free day. Just because it’s free doesn’t bother me. Some of the best books I have ever read were free. Whether on my ereader, through brick and mortar stores, or through the library, I have traveled the world, lived through my wildest fantasies and even learned a few things along the way.

I have just gotten back into golf after an injury, so I was excited to swing the clubs. I even hit a few really good shots, and that made me feel good. The weather was warm, with a balmy breeze and the birds singing. What could be better?

Well, I did feel pretty stiff. Many of the swings felt awkward, out of sync. I knew I was tight. Always have been. I feel, with many of the things I learned in Play Better Golf With Easy Yoga by Patricia Bacall, I can improve my swing be availing myself of the suggested yoga poses and the reasons for them. The illustrations and instructions are good. I feel, with a little practice, I will be able to incorporate them into my exercise regimen. Some of them I am already doing, having picked them up through the internet for some reason or another.

The book is easy to read and understand. I learned more about target specific poses that incorporate your entire body, that being a necessity in golf. The poses are easy to convert to an easier style for those of us that are way too tight. lol

Body and mind working together to make your golf day even more enjoyable.

Sunday Post #201 Countdown to Spring..

Stacking The Shelves {200}

~~~

Hello fellow bloggers. Another week has passed by and it is going way too fast. I am still busy cleaning house, every nook and cranny. I have been messing around outside, because I love it out there. I would rather do yardwork than clean house any day. 🙂

I have also been writing a lot of reviews, trying to get ahead. It seems every time I do, something happens and I end up behind again. Do you find that happening to you?

Any hoo…seeing I am in a blogging mood, I thought I would share some books I have picked up lately, both for review and just because. I know my Sunday post has been short, but the summer is not long enough and I MUST enjoy every minute I can squeeze in.

FOR REVIEW

I love Jon Land’s work and the Caitlin Strong character is one of my favorites. Check out this cool package that arrived on my door step.

2014-04-17-01-11-00

I will be reviewing For The Love of Grace by Andy Blackman, about a business man who becomes wanted by more than one intelligence agency.

My sister, Laura @ fuonlyknew, talks so much about Onyx Webb by Richard Fenton & Andrea Waltz, that I am going to be reviewing the first three books.

I will be reviewing the entire set of Gabriel Valjan’s Roma series, about a female forensic accountant, over the course of the next several months.

I don’t know if any of these are free or not, so if something looks good, be sure and check the price.

Hello fellow bloggers. I’ve had another fantastic week of blogging, reading and cleaning house. I know most people wait until spring to do their cleaning, but I bought new bedding and curtains for the master bedroom and got the bug. That’s not to say I don’t have time to catch some of my favorite TV and this past week I caught this episode….again. ENJOY!

Can You Read A Series In A Month

Does this sound like something that will help you get at least one small stack off your TBR shelf? Come on, join in!

Canyoureada

Can You Read a Series in a Month?

Remember the days before book blogging, when you didn’t have a COLOSSAL list of books to read, because you didn’t know about all of them yet? When you discovered a great series and literally just gobbled it up because you had no review book commitments and, quite often, nothing else to read anyway? When you didn’t know about a series until long after it was published from beginning to end and you COULD just binge read the whole thing? Wouldn’t it be fun to do that again? Not to mention, I KNOW you have a least half a dozen series you’ve been dying to read and just haven’t made time for. Which is why Berls and I are challenging you to read an ENTIRE series in a month.

The Rules

  1. Pick 1 series. Yes, just 1. Announce which series you’ve picked on your sign up post.
  2. Read EVERY book in the series. You don’t have to read novellas or short stories, just the core books.
  3. Read them all between 12am (your time) August 1st and 11:59pm (your time) August 31st. They MUST be marked (on Goodreads) as started and finished in the month of August to count.
  4. Enjoy bragging to everyone about how you’re all caught up on whatever series you read (AKA – have fun)!

The Nitty Gritty / Inevitable Questions

Here’s some questions that we’ve anticipated (and asked each other as we figured it out) and we can update this section as we get more questions (assuming there will be).

  • Q: Can I read more than 1 series?
    • I know we have some reading over-achievers out there who want to do more. Go ahead, we’ll cheer you on, but there’s no bonus points or higher levels for reading more than 1.
  • Q:How many books constitutes a series?
    • We’re going to say 3 published books – so if it’s a trilogy it counts. If you want to take on a 40 book series, be our guest. And good luck!
  • Q: Can I have started the series?
    • You can’t reread an ENTIRE series. But if you have less than three books remaining in a series (so 2 or 1) you may reread 1 or 2 books, so that you’re reading 3 books. For example, if you’ve read 3 books in a 5 book series, you could reread 1 book and then read the 2 unread books, bring your total to three.
  • Q: Does the entire series have to be published and complete?
    • No. But there must be at least 3 books published for it to count (or if you’ve already read 1 book, 4 published). So if there’s going to be six books, but only 4 are published and you’ve read the first one, it counts. So if it’s a trilogy that not yet complete, that wouldn’t count.

The giveaway!

Bragging rights! Nah, just kidding. We will be awarding $5 Gift Cards to Amazon, selected randomly from everyone who successfully completes the challenge. I think I MAY be able to make a “I Read a Series in a Month logos” too, to help with the bragging. 😛

Sign up and Grab our Button!

So it’s time to sign up! We just need to you make a simple sign up post (on your blog, Goodreads, Facebook, etc) declaring your intention to participate and letting us know what series you will be reading. I’ll have my sign up post next week if you need an example… I have to decide which series I’m going to pick of the MANY I’m considering!

Sign-ups are Open through the 15th of August. If you start late, any books you read during the month of August may count toward your series completion. Be sure to link DIRECTLY to your post, not just your blog home page.  Sign up HERE.

I saw this fun challenge, Can You Read A Series In A Month, and thought, “I have the perfect series to read”. I recently won the third book in the Rick Yancey series, The 5th Wave, from Jessica @ a Great Read. When I read it had been made into a movie I checked it out further and found the first two books in a bundle on Amazon and they were on sale, so I grabbed them.
.
Will I read more than one…I don’t know.

Here in Pensacola, this week has been all about our fallen pilot, Marine Captain Jeff Kuss, of the Blue Angels. He was brought back to Pensacola by Fat Albert and under escort by the #5 Angel, his partner solo pilot. You can read about Jeff Kuss HERE.

Mr Wonderful took these two photos.

fallenbluehomecomingcrA service was held for Jeff Kuss here before he was sent home to Colorado where he will rest in peace.

The photo below is the missing man formation pilots fly when one of their own has fallen. I was fortunate enough to grab this photo as they flew over my house. The Navy base is very close to us and there was a lot of activity as they did flyovers of Jeff Kuss’ service. It will be very easy for me to remember because it was my birthday.

Sometimes I get the reading bug and I cannot stop picking up the next book, then the next book, then the next book…

I have also been doing a lot of work outside in preparation for my mother’s arrival this week. I am super excited and know the family from Alabama will be dropping in too. We will be playing endless games of cards along with many dips in the pool and a barbecue or two. I love summertime and it has arrived here in the Florida Panhandle in full force!

I must spend more time visiting you guys and sharing some comment love along with writing some reviews that I owe to some fabulous authors and I want to thank them for their patience.

I also want to thank Fiktshun for a box of books I won from her some time ago. Once I started, there were so many wonderful reads I couldn’t stop. The past three days I have gotten caught up in The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken and am lost in this dystopian world. I am sharing the books so you can see why I cannot stop reading this story. I got all three of them. I must find out what happens to Ruby and Liam! There are also two novellas, but I do not have them…yet.
