Reading Update and Traveling

The part I hate the most about traveling is the getting-ready part. Did I pack enough of this, did I pack enough of that. That sort of thing. And a question I need to ask myself SEVERAL days ahead of time is…do I have enough pills to last the entire trip?

The funny thing is, I asked Hubby that question. Didn’t bother to check my own stash. And guess what? I didn’t have enough of the MOST IMPORTANT PILL I have to take (Arimedex—the pill I take for breast cancer). I called the Cancer Care Center on base Monday and asked if they could put in a new prescription for me (refills take 3 days—I didn’t have 3 days). Luckily, they were able to get a refill, I just had to pick it up the next morning (Tuesday). And luckily, we weren’t leaving until noon. Whew!

So, by the time this posts on Wednesday, I will be in Rexburg, ID. Provided everything goes according to plan. Our tour begins on Thursday in Jackson Hole, WY.

I’m ready! I hope.

Here’s what I read since my last update:

Book 28

Dates read: September 6-12, 2022
Title: Angel Lover
Year of publication: 2015/2018
Author: Tricia Skinner
Genre: Paranormal romance
Series: Angel Assassins #3
# of Pages: 205
Paper or plastic: Nook
How obtained: Purchased
Blurb from Goodreads: The Nephilim are bound. Their powers cursed. But half-angel Kasdeja will do anything to free them from Heaven's tyranny. When Kas is approached by a striking, mysterious woman, she tells him his greatest enemies hold the key to his freedom.
    Mariel keeps herself shrouded in secrets, using them to hide her true self. For she is not just employed by the Renegades--enemy fallen angels—she is a double agent, working on the sly for Heaven. Her directive is to seduce the gorgeous Nephilim—despite her insecurity about such sensual acts.
    For Mariel is playing a dangerous game, and falling for Kas could only cause trouble; her assignment isn't just seduction. It's destruction.
My thoughts: Okay, so the storyline doesn’t end with this book and there isn’t a book 4 out there. Plus, the author is now an agent and her website doesn’t reflect her books at all. Heck, you can’t even find these in B&N or Amazon. So… I guess that’s that. No use in recommending these books. You couldn’t find them to purchase as it is! FYI: I did enjoy the story and I would really like to know how it all resolves.

Weather has cooled here considerably. I hope we don’t freeze in WY, but we packed jackets, just in case. Thankfully, they fit in the suitcase!

Happy Reading!

I hope your trip is a lot of fun.
Before the next one, make a check list. My wife does now after forgetting to pack herself pj's one trip.

Alex - We do have a list for traveling. It's pinned on our bulletin board and we use it for every trip. It always gets updated because we do forget things (like Hubby forgot the cords to his laptop or forgot to bring his mouse). It's pretty lengthy! But I don't have clothes on the list, because...clothes??

Except I just discovered (this morning) what I forgot on this trip--bras (which is funny since I forgot socks on another trip years ago). So now maybe I need to add clothes to the list? Arrrgh!!

FYI (to everyone) - No delays, no cancellations. In fact, we arrived in Jackson Hole, WY early! And with our luggage. So glad that stress is over. Now I can enjoy the trip.
