Sherry’s Shelves – 3.13 – 3.19.22

Posted on by

Hi Everyone. Not a whole lot to talk about. The weeks and months are seeming to run together, though I am excited about working outside…in the pollen. LOL I did some work but remembered to wear my mask, so my allergies weren’t too bad. I did leave a wheelbarrow full of leaves and it is raining, so I’m sure that will be one soggy mess. Oh well, I least I got some cleanup done.

Did some reading and caught up on writing reviews for the books I have read. I am doing pretty good about keeping up with them. I have plenty sitting in my draft folder, ready to go. I was going to try and review everything I read, but I am having a hard time working them in.

How about you? What have you been up to? Any great books you want to share? Have you been traveling…yet? I was actually out a couple times this week. We went to the bank to have Mr Wonderful’s application for retirements notarized and went to the beach to see the Blue Angel’s come home from California. It was chilly that day, but so nice to be out and about. Right now, it’s raining, a steady downpour. It is spring in the south, so that is to be expected. We were lucky the last week. We had some steady rain, but not a huge accumulation, and lots of wind. Knocked the last of the leaves off the trees, so that is a good thing. lol

Stay safe and wear a mask..

Tackling The TBR – 3.12 – 3.18.22

Posted on by

I got the idea and the motivation to start doing Tackling The TBR from All The Book Blog Names Are Taken. It has helped me to keep track of my reading shelf as far as current events and I also started doing a post for Books From The Backlog, from Carole’s Random Life in Books, to tidy up my shelves. I feel better about my out of control TBR and have even knocked off a couple of those old ones that had been hanging around for years.

Hi Everyone. It has been a quiet week. Mr Wonderful worked some freelance, we cleaned the pool, though it is full of leaves again. We had some great weather, but rain has moved in. We are supposed to have some severe weather in the next day or two, but that is normal for this time of year. Time to hunker down, binge on Below Deck and watch some of The Players Tournament, that is having lots of weather too.

Hi Everyone. All right…I have been doing a lot of reading and blogging, but have also gotten out in the yard. I am getting the pool ready for swimming. I think the leaves have slacked off, so the robot can keep up with them. Now, it’s a matter of getting the chemicals up to par. I have also been cleaning up the yard a bit. It is very slow work, but slow and steady wins the race, right? I remember when I used to use a self propelling mower, walking the entire yard. HAH…those days are long gone. And that reminds me. I need to call the lawnmower repair people. We just spent a couple hundred bucks to fix it and it crapped out again. Now they want another five hundred bucks. I am still hesitant about paying for it. Maybe it’s time to get a new one. I will be really pissed if we fix it and it craps out before a year or two passes. This hits us hard, seeing Mr Wonderful no longer has a paycheck. We are playing a money game because of health insurance. We have to watch our income or we could be paying eleven hundred dollars a month. How in the hell do they expect us to do that?! Thank goodness he is getting some fantastic freelance work this week. F***** Covid! It put a hitch in our well laid plans. And speaking of Covid, I am hyping myself up to get out in the read world again. It’s hard, not only because of Covid, but because we have to watch our spending. What a bummer. To work so hard so we could not have to worry about bills and such…now it brings to mind those times we were wrapping coins to be able to go out. Life is…funny

Hi Everyone. Drat. I keep meaning to make my own banner and forget until I am making the post. Oh well…maybe next week. Not a lot going on. Some warmer weather moved in, but I didn’t make it outside…rain and wind, so I have been reading and blogging.

Hi Everyone. I wanted to share the release of Lizzie Borden, Zombie Hunter, in audio. I loved it. You can read my review HERE.

Celebrate the new audiobook (pre-order now, releases 2/21)  for Lizzie Borden, Zombie Hunter! Follow along on the blog tour for a chance to win a $10 gift card and the Kindle ebook is also on sale for $1.99! 

Have been messing around outside as much as the weather allows. I am determined to have the yard in pretty good shape this month or early in March. I want to get a jump on it, because it was so hot out last year, I couldn’t work outside much, but I could hang around the pool, which I DID have cleaned up. I am getting ready to make sure all the chemicals are in order, so I am trying to keep it leaf free. The oak leaves are pretty heavy because of the high winds. I haven’t had to run it a lot because of the cool weather, but with March right around the corner, I need to get it swimalicious! It’s starting to warm up. I can put my hand in the skimmer to retrieve the leaf basket and not feel like my hand is on fire. LOL I believe I have become a weather wimp down here. 🙂

I couldn’t find The Gargoyle and Sorceress Tales Omnibus by Lisa Blackwood on Amazon, so it is linked to Goodreads. I grabbed it because I have read the first two books in it and wanted the third.
