How was your week?  It's been too warm during the day around here and there's no end in sight for ragweed pollen. I am not going to be sad when the ground freezes and kills off the pollen! This upcoming Friday I'm going to a concert with my eldest. I am hoping for cooler temps and no rain. 

Since last week my middle kiddo moved to the middle of Illinois because he got a job at at TV station near the University of Illinois. It's his first ongoing job in his field. He found housing at the last moment, thankfully since he is in a college town, the place was furnished. He loaded his ancient car, drove down, and started his job the same day.  We will be going down to meet him for lunch soon. A long-ago picture of middle kiddo.


Readingwise, I need to stop adding more books to my TBR and read some of the books already on there. But that's not going to happen!
Quick plug: If you like to read cozy romance books with a hint of spice, my first book "No Gouda Without You" will be 99 cents on Kindle tomorrow (September 16th)! Here is the link: https://a.co/d/3fS0O4t


 I am finishing up these books and will be writing about them soon:

Trailer Park Trickster- Second in a Series!

This is the follow-up book to the excellent novel White Trash Warlock. There is much to love in this series, first of all, David R. Slayton writes characters with a depth that is matched in the intricate details of the world he has created and is continuing to build with each chapter. 

My favorite things about this series are:
 *It's a rare paranormal adventure that takes place primarily in a tiny town in Oklahoma. We've had many urban fantasies, is now the time for rural fantasy?  I'm here for both!
*The main character is in a same-sex relationship --again pretty rare. 
*Adam Binder reminds me of Harry Dresden, he isn't the one with the most power but he will put himself on the line to save humans. Unlike Harry Dresden, Adam has some family and he hasn't decided he is unworthy of love. Harry seems pretty bent on believing he cannot have a relationship. 
*The books deal with grief in a hopeful way. 
*Everyone in the book is gray --ie no one is all evil or all good. 

If you haven't started this series yet, now is a good time to start you can read books one and two and then preorder book three, Deadbeat Druid on October 18th!
