Sunday Post: Cats, Dogs, and Celebrations

Posted on by BonnieReadsAndWrites

The title pretty much sums up my week. First, the integration of Opie into the family is going much better. The dogs are getting used to him–slowly, and he can be found lounging around the living room often, when he’s not in his room watching YouTube for cats!

This past week was my birthday and our 43rd anniversary. We got married on my birthday, so as we always joke, that means every year on my birthday, I have to get Doug a present! We went to Tupelo Honey in Asheville. I had my favorite–shrimp and grits. Doug got a fried chicken BLT. We also went antiquing, and I got some more jadeite for my collection. A picture of some of my jadeite collection is below. My new acquisitions are not in the picture. It was a wonderful day.

Youtube for cats is hilarious. Opie is mesmerized.

LAST WEEK ON THE BLOG

I reviewed The Empty Side of Our Bed by Bill Beckett and did an Indie #FREEBOOK spotlight of Songbird by Gail Meath. The ebook is free everywhere for the next month. I also reviewed The Secret Orphanage by Barbara Josselsohn.

NEXT WEEK ON THE BLOG

I will be posting reviews I did for the August edition of Historical Novels Review, the magazine of The Historical Novel Society, starting with Wild as the Stars by Kerry Chaput, and Those We Carry by Scott Saxberg.

I will get some Indie reviews out in the coming week. I have so many, and I get more requests every day, so I am way behind.

I will participate in Top Ten Tuesday if time permits.

I hope you all have a great 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.

  7. We have an Opie in the family, but he is a French Bulldog belonging to my son’s family. He has a younger sister called Olive who is the naughty one. They are coming to stay on Wednesday so I have to put away anything destructible!

  14. Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary, Bonnie. You will never forget your anniversary that way and neither will your husband. Opie is adorable, I love his spiky fur. I hope your week as gone well thus far.
