So… it snowed here this past weekend. Record breaking snow (for our area). There’s about 14” of the white stuff on our driveway and we still haven’t removed enough of it to get a car out. The frigid temps aren’t helping with the removal, either.
Some “kids” (they were in their
late teens/early twenties) offered to shovel it for 60 bucks. Hubby is wishing
now that he took them up on their offer. It’s not that it’s heavy (nope, fluffy
stuff fell this time around), but just that there is so much of it! I don’t
know where to put it all. Our piles are almost as tall as me (and I’m 5’6”) and
we’re nowhere near finished.
Thankfully we’re in no hurry to
get anywhere.
Here’s what I read since my last
update:
Book 2
Title: Sweet Revenge
Year of publication: 2022
Author: Aedyn Brooks
Genre: Paranormal romance
Series: Grave Intentions #4
# of Pages: 284
Paper or plastic: Nook
How obtained: Purchased at B&N
Blurb from Goodreads: Wyatt “Viper” Raine is two weeks from tapping out of his fifteen-year military career when he’s offered an easy assignment that could net him half-a-million-dollars. All he has to do is provide protection detail for K.M. O’Conner on a reality show. Once the mission was complete, he would be financially set to fulfill a promise he never forgot. When he meets the tantalizing and extremely talented contestant, Wyatt can’t help but wonder if he has bitten off more than he can chew.
Keller O’Connor’s dreams were about to come true—she’d been selected to be on Hometown Advantage, a reality TV show where contestants compete in physical and cooking challenges. Her chances of winning are good—that is, if an escaped serial killer who’s hellbent on eliminating her permanently doesn’t get to her first. She isn’t happy when the show’s director assigns her a hard-as-nails Navy SEAL bodyguard/partner. Her plans didn’t include splitting the million-dollar winnings, nor getting unexpectedly married in Vegas. Of course, the idea of being chopped in real-life by a killer focused on revenge wasn’t appetizing either.
As the chemistry heats up between Keller and Wyatt, so do the threats. Can he keep her alive long enough to make both of their dreams come true, or will a deadly killer exact his own brand of sweet revenge in front of the world?
Recommend: Yes
My thoughts: Very entertaining. Kind of like reading about a contestant from the Amazing Race (which is the only reality show I watch). I found it interesting that there is now a culinary reality show coming soon to TV (forget which channel), which is what the reality show in this book is portraying. Still, lots of action and suspense in this, along with some ghosts and other paranormal stuff, made for a fun read.
I know we don’t have it as bad as those places that got ice.
I know what ice is like and I’m glad it didn’t happen here. Still, I wish the
weather would at least cooperate and melt some of this snow, but that’s not
gonna happen anytime soon. The highest it will get all week is 19 and that is
on Friday. We got several below zero mornings to get through first. Ugh.
Happy Reading!
