Reading Update and Happy Anniversary to Me

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving was also the 13th anniversary of this blog. The fall of 2009, I had finally decided to pursue publication and knew I needed to be online somehow. Blogging was more popular then, so that’s what I did. Mainly, because it seemed easy (and it is). Now, I struggle with what to post, which is why I mostly just post about what I’ve read. That’s definitely easy, plus I like to keep a record (even though I also keep a record on Goodreads).

Here’s what I read since my last update:

Book 37

Dates read: November 15-23, 2022
Title: The Viper
Year of publication: 2022
Author: J. R. Ward
Genre: Paranormal romance
Series: Black Dagger Brotherhood: Prison Camp #3
# of Pages: 352

Blurb from book: Framed for the grisly murder of his shellan, Kane is condemned to the notorious prison camp—unaware of the dark truth behind his arranged mating. Centuries later, when he is horribly burned while attempting to save others, he prays he’ll finally be reunited in the Fade with his mate…not knowing what revelations await him.
    Nadya is a self-taught nurse who does what she can to ease the suffering of the prisoners. When Kane comes under her care, she cannot help but empathize with his condition for very personal reasons—and as the guards take him away one last time, she fears he is facing a terrible death.
    After a daring rescue, Kane is offered a treatment that will change his very nature. Choosing life, for the time being, he goes back for the female who took such good care of him—but his duty to Nadya sets him on a collision course with his own past. When long-buried secrets are exposed, his self-destruction is inevitable…unless true love can save his soul.
My thoughts: Another goodie in this series. Lots of action, too. A good read.

So… how long have you been blogging or following blogs? Anyone here follow me from the beginning? I’ll be surprised if you have.

Happy Reading!

Happy anniversary! I've been around about the same amount of time. Began early November 2009. We've seen a lot of changes, haven't we?

13 years! Wow wow. So cool. I driffed away from blogging and then found my way back. Like coming home. How are you feeling?

Alex - Yep, lots of changes. A lot of people I followed back then aren't even around now!

Ivy - I'm feeling okay. Had my third treatment today and the headache hasn't kicked in yet. Maybe I'll get lucky... :D

Hope that headache never kicked in for you.
