What I’m Reading…
Both of these books arethe start of two new to me series. Both came highly recommended.
Here are the blurbs:

What I’m Reading…
It’s been a while since I’ve had the pleasure of reading a book, soI selected two of my favoriteparanormal romance authors forthis week.
(Both of these are book two of their respective series.)
Here are the blurbs:

What is that smell?
For those of you who have dogs, I bet you’ve run across this very important question a few times in their lifespan.
On his 4 am potty break (yes, you read that right), my adorable lab was gone for a whole hour, doing gods only know what. 
After his doggie adventure, he came back with this smell. He either ate something he wasn’t supposed to or rolled around in it. I’m thinking both. We thought it would fade, right? Nope, not so much. So three days later, Hubby called it…the dog won the battle.

Summer television…
I used to dread Summer television. All the good shows ended at the school year, and the stations would put on re-runs and pilot shows that usually bomb. But in the last few years, I’ve been noticing a change in the programing. They are putting out seasonal shows that run just during the Summer and some of them are darn good!
My DVR system broke last year. I had to write down all my movies and shows. A lot of them I just stopped recording. One show I was on the fence about was MTV’s Teen Wolf....

Crawling out of the cave….
I’m slowly digging myself out of my writer’s cave and joining the human race again. When did the world turn green?
Who would’ve thought emails couldbreed faster than rabbits?
Electric Moon has been sent off to beta readers. Yay! Fingers crossed!
I’ve been catching up on everythingthat I’ve neglected, including shopping. Funnystory.I went a few weeks ago, put everything away, then promptly forgot about it.A couple of days later Icouldn’t find thekool-aide.
Could I have lefta bag at the store?(I wa...

Chocolate Fortune Cookies…
I had a piece of chocolate the other day (we won’t discuss how many), and found a note inside that really hit me.
I pinned it on my wall so I wouldn’t forget.
Live Your Dream!
I’ve wanted to be a writer for a long time, and I wasted years thinking it was silly.
No dream is silly if it’swhat you want.
Don’t be like me and wait years. Find out what makes you happy and live your dream!

It is real….
The Sun!
Gosh, it feels like ages since I’ve seen the sun. It’s June and this is the first week this year that we are supposed to reach 70 degrees every day. (Okay, workday, but I’ll take it!)We’ve had less than five (or so) days this whole year it’s been that warm. I’m stoked!
Maybe we can even turn off the heat in the house. I know, right? But I turned it off last week. I think it got up to 72 degrees one night. The next day, I decided since it wasalmost June, weshouldn’t be running the heat...
