Sunday Post: Riding in Style

Posted on by BonnieReadsAndWrites

Thank you to The Caffeinated Book Reviewer for hosting Sunday Post.

This week brought me a new car! We sold our house a couple of weeks ago, and that led to my new ride, which will probably be my last new car ever. It is a Honda HR-V Sport, and I love it. Since I’m retired, I don’t expect I’ll be putting a ton of miles on it, so it should last a long time. Of course, it got muddy almost immediately because we’ve had a lot of rain and live on a gravel road. I’m waiting until things dry out to wash it. Here’s my car, which I’ve named Pearl: That’s Hermann photobombing the first picture 🙂

I just reviewed several books for The Historical Novel Society, and now that the February issue has been published, I’ll be sharing some of those with you.

THIS WEEK ON THE BLOG

I have two or three Indie reviews I’m going to share, and I’ve got a Q&A in process that I might be able to post this week. I’ll participate in Top Ten Tuesday as well.

WRITING

I’m going to start an Alternate Reality short story, so wish me luck!

BOOK HAUL

Just one new Netgalley book right now. I’ve been really selective regarding what I request on Netgalley because I have plenty of books.

Honor seems to have everything: she adores her bright and beautiful daughter, Chloe, and her charming, handsome husband, Tom, even if he works one hundred hours a week. Yet Honor’s longing for another baby threatens to eclipse all of it―until a shocking event changes their lives forever.

How was your week?

I love to read and write book reviews in my free time. I review advance review copies of books on Netgalley for various publishers. I am also a reviewer for Historical Novels Review Magazine, the magazine of the Historical Novel Society. I review books from publishers of all size, large to small. I have a special place in my heart for indie authors. I will sometimes post a little writing that I might dabble in occasionally. I also am lucky enough to live in the Smoky Mountains, so I'll be sharing photos of the beauty around me from time to time.

      1. Pearl is a good name for a car. I don’t think anyone under 50 knows where “It’s got a good beat, and you can dance to it” came from and means damning with faint praise.

    1. Thanks! I drove a 99 Subaru that my cousin gave me for free for the last six years. That car did more than I could ever have asked. It got me everywhere I wanted to go. This is quite a change, but it was time to get a new car with more comfort and a long warranty.

  4. Congrats on the new car. Hondas are such good cars. I drove one for 13 years, then gave it to my daughter when we moved to Spain ten years ago. She is still driving it! Good luck with your story. xo

      1. I do my best to ignore Netgalley, but it got away from me as there were so many new books in series that I wanted to read 🤣

        I haven’t been on Netgalley that long which I think also helps 🤣
