I'm extra relaxed today because there is no school tomorrow. Yay! My only 'must-do' tomorrow is go get accupuncture done. That involves lying down in a dark room for 20 minutes after the little needles are placed so it's very relaxing. 

Do you love holiday reading?  I do and that is part of why I'm dong the Ho-Ho-Ho-RAT again this year!

I splurged and ordered the hardback copy of Leslie Meier latest Lucy Stone book and I'm saving it to kick off the read-a-thon! 

Do you have anything on your TBR you are saving to read?

The Bourbon Bet by DK Marie


 A bookstore. A bet. A love that could cost them everything.

Rosalia:
I need sixty days.

That's how long I have to save my bookstore and my father's home before all my dreams go into foreclosure. When a powerful man offers me a devil's bargain, every instinct screams to walk, no run, away. But desperation makes cowards of us all. Make Sebastian fall for me, steal his business secrets at their derby party, and keep my store. Refuse, and lose everything.

The plan was simple. But I never bet on falling for him. Or how the truth would ruin me.

Sebastain:
This isn't about love.

It's a bet, a way to finally cut my brother loose. Rosalia is the bait. Sweet. Sharp. Sent to play me. And I let her. Because I want to believe she's different. I'm betting on it. And when she moans my name like it's real, I almost believe her.

In bourbon country, family betrayals go down smoother than aged whiskey. With the Derby clock ticking and their hearts tangled in lies and desire, when the truth finally spills, can love survive the burn?

I think that prices on everything to keep going up because of the Iran War (a war that should never have been started) so I'm trying to get the best deals possible on holiday gifts as early as possible. This year I am hoping to have everything in place to wrap presents while watching Hallmark movies in October. 

Do you shop early for the holidays? If I get done with the shopping and the wrapping early, I'll have more time to read Chistmas themed books like this one:

Do You Bucket List?

 I can't remember if I have already given a blog post this title. I probably have. Oh well! Happy October!

Tonight I am going to a journaling class at one of the top three indie bookstores in my area. Do you journal? This bucket list can not only give you some great ideas to celebrate the season but also some nice journaling ideas!

I have this printed out and on my fridge!

Just a couple of weeks from now I'm sending my book out to ARC readers. Want to join them? Here is the link: https://forms.gle/UB8kcDph5ahK8rwd9
