Yes, I’m on another cruise. The second of this year and not the last, either. This one took us to Greenland. We almost thought it might not happen. Ice was in the way (and growing!) of the two ports we had planned to stop at. But the people of Carnival found a solution: two nights in Nuuk instead. The weather was cold (in the 30s), but the views were awesome. I’m so glad we were able to visit this unique island.
I did have high hopes to write and
exercise on this cruise. Boy, were they dashed quickly. Besides forgetting to
pack some of my blood pressure meds (ooops), I had vertigo for a good portion
of this cruise, and then caught someone’s crud. The cold temps didn’t help any,
either. So no walking (at least, not yet…the cruise isn’t over and we will be
back in warmer temps soon, I hope) and the writing has been spotty. But I do
have the laptop out today and hope to get back to The Alien’s Change of Heart.
Provided posting this doesn’t frustrate me (internet isn’t all that great).
Here’s what I read since my last
update:
Book 11

Series: Neighborly Affection #8

Blurb from book: Married in November, divorced in December?
As newlyweds Henry, Alice, and Jay settle into their life together, an avalanche of trouble threatens to bury their dreams of a merry Christmas.
Forced to confront echoes of his childhood, Henry leaves Alice and Jay to fend for themselves. Their dominant has never let them down before, but now he’s distracted, anxious, and forgetting the things that matter. Will his distance be the crack that fractures their marriage?
Jay’s first holiday season after a bitter break with his family isn’t turning out the way he hoped. He’s trying to keep spirits high, but with his spouses stretched thin, the days grow bleak. When work obligations drive Alice toward her own long-overdue family confrontation, gut wrenching emotions split the triad further apart.
Can they find their way back to one another, or will they be out in the cold forever?
Recommend: Yes (but read the series in order)
My thoughts: This is the final book in the series (or so she says). I enjoyed revisiting these characters, who I fell in love with when I started reading this series nearly 10 years ago! Yes, there’s lots of sex, but it’s more than that. It’s an emotional roller coaster, too. A very fitting end for a wonderful series.
It's no fun being sick when you’re away from home. Not that
it’s fun at home, either. But the vertigo really made me queasy, and the coughing
fits caused tremendous cramps in my stomach. I just wanted it to all end.
Thankfully, it is ending. Just taking its ever-loving time, that’s all.
Tomorrow we dock in Connor Brook, Newfoundland. We’re taking
an ATV excursion there. Looks to be fun. I just hope it’s not too cold
(although I think the forecast is showing temps in the high 60s to low 70s).
Might want to dress in layers anyway.
Happy Reading!
