Today is the last full day of the cruise. We get into Galveston tomorrow morning.
Is 14 days too long? Usually, I
would say no. This time we had an inside cabin, and it was tiny. It made a
difference, that’s for sure. It will certainly be the LAST time we get an
inside cabin. Heck, the next 10 cruises we already have booked are balcony cabins.
Yes, we have already booked 10 more cruises for the next 24 months. Cruising is
almost like a second home to us, I guess. And I got a lot of writing done. Of
course, most of those next cruises will be in ports we’ve never visited (in
fact, countries we’ve never visited), so they’ll be a little bit busier than
this cruise. We stayed on the ship for most of the ports this time around, and
it was very relaxing.
Here’s what I read since my last

Blurb from Goodreads: The dead deserve justice…
When psychic medium Joni Smith encounters a pesky ghost in an antique store, she triggers attention from the wrong people. She should have thought twice before jumping the fence past the no trespassing signs, and she shouldn’t have dug up the ghost’s bones to retrieve a locket either, but Joni wants lost souls to find peace. Sometimes taking risks are worth damning the consequences.
So do the living…
Newbie detective and paranormal skeptic, Zeke Gregson isn’t quite sure what to make of Joni digging up a grave in the backwoods of his neighbor’s property. She won’t hand over whatever she stole from the grave, and she won’t answer his questions. He has no choice but to bring her in for questioning because someone is killing women in Pendleton County. If Joni isn’t the murderer, she might be the key that leads him to who is.
A secret society…
As Zeke and Joni comb through evidence, they soon realize they are in over their heads. Before another woman dies, they must lean on each other’s skills in order to get justice.
A secret desire…
Trust doesn’t come easy for either of them, but as they fight for their lives, racing against the clock to stop the killer, they may discover something neither realized they were searching for…love.
Recommend: Yes
My thoughts: Oooh, a new-to-me author’s book that I liked so much that I will go out and get book 2. Ghosts, suspense, and romance. I liked them all. If it was possible to buy book 2 while on the cruise (it’s not, because technically I’m not in the USA), I’d buy it now.
That book was my 30th read, which meant I reached
my goal! That doesn’t always happen when I’m also writing, so I’m happy about
that. Happy that I can write and read, it’s not one or the other.
Happy Reading!
