Sherry’s Shelves #178

Sherry’s Shelves #178 is my weekly update from 12.30.18 – 1.5.19.

~~~

Hello Fellow Bloggers. Well, the holidays are over and I am still packing up the Christmas decorations, finishing up painting the shed (which Mr Wonderful has done most of and that is only one of the reasons why he is Mr Wonderful), sucking leaves out of the pool when it isn’t raining (which it has done entirely too much, but the sun is shining today and they say we will have sun for the weekend) and I hope to do some yard cleanup. There are a lot of those pesky little oak tree branches that seem to be a never ending problem. The weather has been warm, not like last year. I remember being in New Orleans for the 2018 New Years celebration and the wind chill was -35. This year I was on the golf course for New Years Day and it was in the 70s. BUT, there is no such thing as global warming or climate change here in Florida. LOL

I don’t know about you, but I have upgraded to the new WordPress and am tearing my hair out. LOL I accidentally hit the button, but I figure, sooner or later, they will make us upgrade anyway. There are a lot of cool features I am figuring out, but I hate the learning curve. How about you…did you click that button too?

I hope you all enjoyed the holidays are have a wonderful new year filled with fun, family and a lot of good books.

I read Heaven Enough, Book I (see my review HERE) some time ago and loved it, so I am very excited to share the cover for Ken La Salle’s new sequel, Heaven Denied.

 Amazon  /  Goodreads

MY 56 is the first paragraph, since I don’t have the book…yet.

In the remains of a bedroom down in the seaside town of Ocean Beach, California, a broken man bolted out of a nightmare and returned to his life.

(published in 2018)

GOODREADS BLURB

What would it be like to have heaven enough?

For just a few, brief days on the Pacific Crest Trail, Matt Murphy knew. He fell in love, faced his true self, and came to understand what was really important in life – until the woman he fell in love with died and his life was cast into the chaotic emptiness of grief. Within that emptiness, Matt lost his wealth, his job, and everything that helped his life make sense.

Matt believed he could accept that if it really was the price of true love… Until he learned that the woman he loved had already been married.

Where that left him and what it meant for the love he thought they shared, Matt couldn’t know. His only recourse would be to meet the man who had married his love and understand what that love had meant to him. How could he have lost her? How could he have pushed her aside? How could he have given her up when losing her broke so much of what was left of Matt’s heart?

Matt is going to have to find out. Even if it means blundering through another relationship, driving into a lake, just a bit of kidnapping, and possibly facing the kind of man he really is, was, and always will be.

The results of which could change Matt’s life forever…

What I Am Reading…And You? #Reading

I won a package of books from Diversion Books and The Skeleton Makes A Friend is the first one I grabbed to read. Check out the awesome cover and you will see why.

The Skeleton Makes a Friend (Family Skeleton Mystery #5)

Amazon / Audiobook / Goodreads

GOODREADS BLURB

Georgia Thackery is feeling pretty good about her summer job teaching at prestigious Cattenhall College, and she’s renting a rustic cabin right by a lake for herself, her daughter, Madison, and her best friend, Sid the Skeleton. Together again, the trio are enjoying the quiet when a teenager named Judy shows up looking for her friend. Georgia doesn’t recognize the name, but she learns that the person Judy was looking for is actually Sid.

Sid reveals that he and Judy are part of a regular online gaming group that formed locally, and one of their members has gone missing. Sid admits that he might have bragged about his investigative prowess, enough so that Judy wants him to find their missing player. Given that Sid doesn’t have many friends IRL―none, really, unless you count the Thackery family―Georgia agrees to help him search. They manage to discreetly enlist Judy, who lives in town, and follow the clues to… a dead buddy. Now they’ve got a killer on their hands. Probing the life of Sid’s friend, they realize a lot is wrong both on campus and in the seemingly quaint town, and someone doesn’t want them looking deeper.
