We got a really cool shout-out this week from Cinnabar Moth Publishing. In their weekly podcast, The Writer’s Triangle, they were talking about setting up author websites and how important they are. They used my site as an example of what a fledgling author can do while they are trying to get their name out there. They mentioned book reviews and a lot of what I do on this site. They gave us a lot of compliments.
The Youtube video is here if you want to listen. Bonnie Reads and Writes is mentioned at about 8:25.
So I am starting to sound like a broken record, but I was sick again this week, a majority of the week. This makes the third virus since mid-December. It’s never COVID, but the doctor told me there are about twelve different viruses going around out there. Hopefully, this is the last one. Once again I caught it after my grandkids visited. This time, I sent my husband to our other house in Bryson City while the kids were here so that at least one of us would be healthy. That plan worked. Here are some beautiful pictures he sent me while he was there:


Also, Indie Weekend has been neglected due to my illnesses in December and January. I am getting back to it in a big way next week, with more than one review.
Here’s to getting back to normal!
LAST WEEK ON THE BLOG
On Monday I did mini reviews of And Justice for Mall and Twice in a Lifetime.
On Thursday I reviewed Patches Through Time.
On Friday I participated in Book Blogger Hop.
NEXT WEEK ON THE BLOG
I plan to participate in Top Ten Tuesday and Book Blogger Hop if time permits.
On Wednesday I will review Last Summer Boys by Bill Rivers.
On Friday I will review The Marriage Season as part of a blog tour for Rachel’s Random Resources.
And Indie Weekend resumes Friday through Sunday!
BOOK HAUL





I hope you have a wonderful week!
Fabulous podcast, Bonnie, with such wonderful praise for you, your blog, your reviews. You should be so very proud – we are grateful for all the time you put into this site. It’s not easy, especially when you’re the weather. Please, feel better and stay that way:)!
