What do you do on a Saturday evening?

I stay up reading. Because I need to finish this story.

And...I'm now just...yeah, that feeling. My mind is cycling. I'm set on my thoughts on who.

Now to finish the bonus content and put my case notes in my journal to keep figuring it out.

I'm going to have to reread this book and I'm about half way. SO MANY HINTS! The mystery and details.
@skyladawn.ca my pen's going to run out of ink! 😂

Six Scorched Roses by Carissa Broadbent
I was nervous coming into this novella. It's tough to do a full blooming romance.

This book was so well done, that Carissa is a new favorite author of mine.

Full review on Goodreads:
5⭐

I wasn't feeling the workout this morning. I was moving slow and time was running out.

But I clicked play.

I still was moving slow but I got through the session.

It feels good on the other side of that workout now. And I'm glad I did it. Just running late now. 🤦‍♀️

Here's to 1 more day then Friday.

Going with wild hair today because had to leave early for a mammogram. So this is your friendly reminder. And yes, I made myself a comforting tea, Cookie Dough pu'erh tea with Caramel Mocha vitamin d boost with almond milk, latte. I'll take comfort after the appt.

What audiobooks did I pick up this week? There's 8 of them! A little steampunk feel, fantasy, Urban fantasy, and next in ACOTAR series. I'll start A Court of Mist and Fury Monday!
what are you excited to start?

Beautiful morning to be out. Yes, it's still dark and will probably rain later, but it was nice when I was out. I'm happy the nice weather is coming. At least until my allergies kick in. 🙄
We walked our 1.59 mile & worked off some of that energy for the dogs. Arrow...he's still barking in the house.

I have a few series I want to return to! this is where I'm at. Have you ever read any of these?
March 20, 2025 at 1:07 AM
Just back to the office after a 28 minute walk that resulted in 1.86 mile. Cool.

The weather is gorgeous out. Sun's shining and weather is just right. (Now I have the fan on after warming up.)

Nice little exercise in the middle of the day to keep me going.

This trilogy was one I loved. I loved it so much, I bought a mug from the authors store a number of years back. A fantasy setting. Love looking back on my shelves. 💜

Current read. It's a reread for me. Hard to believe there was so much I forgot over time. And loving seeing my sticky notes and thoughts.

Flash from the past.

Is steampunk still a genre with new books?
This is a steampunk series I really enjoyed.

Someone has her favorite sit. She love waiting here while I workout. Though, I'm glad she not Arrow were at my feet today. Balance wasn't a friend this morning. I moved slow to make sure my feet where flat before anything. So slow start to a Monday, but a start.

Here's to hoping Monday goes well.
March 3, 2025 at 11:35 AM
So, I was lazy yesterday. Which means I will need to be up to workout each day for the rest of the week. Can I do it? Sure. Will I do it? I'm not sure. 😂

But I did it today!

Here's to... Wednesday (almost forgot what day of the week we're on).
February 26, 2025 at 11:31 AM
And Monday is here. I could use another weekend day. Just one more.

Starting Monday off a little shaky, with leg day.

I feel like I shouldn't be as shaky as I am now. Like the moves weren't that tough. But, I am.

Oh well, onward with Monday. Here's to making it a good one.
February 24, 2025 at 11:38 AM
Did feel like a tough workout today. But a good one.

Happy Friday! 🧚‍♀️

For @skyladawn.ca 😳
February 20, 2025 at 1:05 AM
Maybe I won't hit my goal if 4 workouts this week. 🙄 Who knows.

Here's to Wednesday! We're almost done with the week.

I thought about chocolate as the base for my drink tonight. Then decided I want to do light and un. Like...

Cotton Candy fun!

And Summery like a margarita.

So why not?

Cotton Candy Margarita for the win!
