The Sunday Post: Tornadoes and TBRs


Hello Lovelies and Happy Sunday! I hope you’re all doing well!

My Saturday started off with a tornado warning at a little before 1:30 am. My town was very fortunate to have minimal damage—mostly downed tree limbs—unfortunately, the small town next to mine wasn’t so lucky. Several houses were destroyed, trees uprooted, and barns flatted but, thankfully, no one lost their life and only one person received minor injuries. My family and friends living in that area only received minor property damage.   

Getting into other, happier news, FraterFest Read-a-thon started Friday. If you don’t know what it is, you can check it out HERE @ Caffeinated Reviewer. I’m proud to say that I’m a Zombie Host this year and I have a fun  Haunting Haunts Bingo Challenge going on that you can check out where I’m giving away a $15 Amazon gift card. No, you don’t have to read the books on the card, just find a title in your book collection that matches up with the prompt. Join the Haunting Haunts Bingo Challenge HERE.

I need to catch up with the Instagram Challenge, but here’s where I’m at with Fraterfest 2021

I have finished two books.



 The first was The Night Thief by Joy Ellis. This is the eighth book in the Jackman and Evans series and it was quite good; not as strong as the previous book but one of the better books in the series.

 


The other was a short, The Veil by Rachel Harris. Loved the premise: a living history museum worker time travels, sort of, and falls in love with the ghost of the Victorian era man that lived there. Hated the book. It was a waste of 47 minutes, thank goodness it was an Audible Plus freebie. I don’t know—don’t know at all—why people are raving about this short story. Terrible.

 


Currently Reading: Herringbones and Hexes by Nancy Warren—it’s book 12 in the Vampire Knitting Club and I have so much fun with these books. I’m 40% through this so I imagine it will either be nearly finished or finished before the night’s over.

 

I’ll probably pick up one of the Krewe Of Hunters books by Heather Graham after I finish Herringbones and Hexes. I was going to pick up Cackle, which the publisher kindly sent to me and I was saving for Fraterfest, but I’m not sure I’m in the mood for Rachel Harris after The Veil. I plan to read all of Sunday so I should be able to get through 2 or 3 books depending on the type of book I read.

 

I don’t really have a set TBR list, mood reading seems to be working best for me at the moment, but I do want to get through The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley before Fraterfest ends. I’ve picked this book up so many times then only read the first chapter before getting distracted by another book. This will be my week to finish this book.
