Reading Update and Got a New iPhone

So… I finally broke down and bought a new iPhone SE (3rd generation). So far I’m okay with it. It’s not all that different from my old SE (except it doesn’t reboot all the time and the battery seems to work a whole lot better!). I have to get use to the feel of it until my case comes in, which I hope makes it easier to pick up and hold. It just feels way too fragile now.

I also had to order some adapters so I can use my head phones (I like the ones I have when walking) and the aux jack in the car. I could probably hook up the phone via blue tooth in the RAV4 (it’s a 2017)—can’t on my Xterra (a 2010)—but I don’t want to confuse the RAV4 on which iPhone to link with. Better to just use the jack. I know how to use that!

Here’s what I read since my last update:

Blurb from Book: For Lydia Susi, there is no sweet sorrow in saying goodbye to the man she loves. As a wolven hiding among humans, she became used to being alone—until destiny gave her the kind of love she didn’t dare hope for. But then came a devastating diagnosis that ended all her dreams. Grief is the only thing she sees in her future now.
    As an operative for a clandestine arm of the U.S. government, Daniel Joseph always expected to die an early death. He just assumed it would be out in the field…not in a hospital bed in an underground lab. With his time running out, he refuses a potentially lifesaving treatment to focus on making sure that Lydia finds her wolven clan.
    Following an attack on the lab’s compound, Daniel fears his former boss is coming after him and Lydia. Marshaling his strength, he must call on all his training to protect the female he loves…even if it means her moving on, without him.
My thoughts: Kind of wish I’d read book 1 again, because I was a little lost. My fault. Stuff doesn’t seem to stick in the brain like it used to. I hope book 3 comes out soon so I’m not lost reading that one. I like this series, and the way it ties into the Black Dagger Brotherhood books, but this book kind of ended on a cliff hanger. And I’m beginning to think that maybe the first one did too.

My brain is starting to get interested in writing again. I’m realizing several MORE things I need to fix in Ghostly Protector. Now I just have to open the document and get to it. Easier said than done, though. ***sigh***

Happy Reading!

Glad you got the phone! I hook my phone up in the car to charge it but always use Bluetooth.

Alex - If it were my car, I'd do the bluetooth. But I don't want to mess with Hubby's car!
