Books to curl up with: ITS HUMP DAY
ITS HUMP DAY
Good morning peeps , its warming up here on the farm but still great book reading weather . Today I have a new author , Greg Chase and his book THE ROAD FROM OBLIVION.
BOOK BLURB
As the third-generation captain of the Beast—a century-old earth rover—Swash Jones has endured more than his share of loss. But that’s the way it is for most people in post-apocalyptic North America. To keep his current crew alive, Swash will need to overcome the PTSD that haunts him.
Each member of the crew comes with particular challenges. Swash must be on constant watch for the trader who’s after him for freeing his navigation expert—Whisper—from slavery. He also needs to guard the personal secret of Roach, his pilot, maintain a degree of separation from Stitch, the attractive medic who saved his life, and hang onto Blade, their hired-gun weapons master with a shady past.
Only by keeping his crew together can he maintain the Beast and hope to survive the wastelands, storms, and marauders of daily existence. When Whisper receives a message from her mother over a deactivated satellite, the crew members must combine their skills and test the limits of the Beast to meet the next challenge. Swash’s team will soon prepare for a new mission—one that has the potential to save what’s left of humanity.
MY REVIEW
Swash Jones is the third generation captain of a earth rover . He has gone through so much in his life during the post apocalyptic world in North America . He is trying to keep his current crew alive and safe while fighting the PTSD that haunts him day and night . His crew are fighting their own nightmares . Whisper , his navigation expert was saved from slavery . His pilot has a personal secret that must be guarded at all times . Stitch the medic is stirring up some feelings that Swash needs to watch out for . Then he needs to hang onto Blade the hired gun to keep everyone safe, he has a shady past . Keeping them all together and the Beast moving is the only hope to keep them together through wastelands , storms and bands of marauders . Will they be able to stay alive and prepare for the new mission that could save what's left of humanity.
Ok wow I truly liked these characters , they are so well constructed and complex . You really get into the minds of each character and see how they are functioning with the problems that are plaguing them . Swash is fighting PTSD and you really see him struggle with it through out the book . All the other characters also are fighting the past. I really liked Whisper she is stronger then most people give her credit for . She really wants to help out and take them to the mountains to help out her mother . She is my favorite character , and loved them all actually .
This is the first book I have read from this author . I really like apocalyptic tales and this one didn't disappoint me . The author really takes us on roller coaster ride . There are twists and turns that will have you on the edge of your seat . I enjoyed this book but I found that I felt the beginning of this book was a little slow and it took me just a bit to get into it . But by chapter 6 I was hooked and couldn't put it down . It started to move faster and there was a lot more action . Over all I enjoyed this look on the apocalyptic story . I can't wait to see where the author takes us in the second book . This author is my new go to author for anything apocalyptic . So if you are into that type of book check it out . I promise it will be a good book to read while you are fighting the winter blues .

WELL WE ARE BACK IN THE DEEP FREEZE
Good morning peeps , well we are back in the deep freeze so its another great day to curl up and read . Today I have book 13 in the Haven Hollows series BROKEN MIRRON by Hp Mallory and J.R Rain.
BOOK BLURB
When Poppy accidentally breaks her bedroom mirror, she has no idea the bad luck she’s in for!
With just about everything going wrong, Poppy’s first order of business is to reverse the curse of the broken mirror ASAP! Unfortunately for her, though, that’s not quite how the cosmos work.
Saddled with a serious case of misfortune, imagine Poppy’s surprise when one of her clients walks into her store with yet another mirror! This one isn’t cursed, though.
It’s haunted.
The ghost of the woman stuck inside the mirror appears to be from pioneer times, and as she yells in silent horror and pounds against the glass, it’s pretty clear she wants out.
But just how does one free a ghost from a mirror?
Poppy’s about to find out… the hard way.
MY REVIEW
Poor Poppy is not having a good day after she broke her bedroom mirror , her day went down hill. The seven years of bad luck is true and poor Poppy needs to find a way to get rid of the bad luck . So right in the middle of her bad day enters a woman with the exact mirror that is haunted . Now it is time to find out about this woman in the mirror and the terror that she is going through. Now it is time to free this poor woman but how do they go about it and also get rid of the seven years of bad luck the hard way .
Poppy and the gang are back and funnier then ever . Poppy is still so sweet but having such a bad day . It is actually kind of funny on how bad the day is . The rest of the gang is there and funnier then ever . Marty is still so sweet and wants to help Poppy out so much you can see the love he has in his eyes for her. I absolutely love these characters and they get better and better with each book .
This is a fun read that I soaked up in an evening . The characters are such fun and the authors really take them in fun situations . There is so much going on in the book that will keep you in stitches all the way through it . This is a shorter book that you can read in a couple of hours and you will enjoy every second of the book . The authors have a great writing style and really know how to build up the twists and turns and then make you laugh at why and how the characters got into that predicament . So if you want a fun read check out this series it is a fun read

HAPPY RELEASETO ROBYN PETERMAN
Good morning peeps , hope your Monday is going well and you are staying warm . I am back in the deep freeze here on the ranch . Good time for some good fun reading . I have just the book for that . THE OH MY GAWD COUPLE , book 16 in the Hot Damned series by Robyn Peterman
BOOK BLURB
Welcome to my Hell… and not the good one where I’m in charge.
Word on the street is that my brother’s son was potty trained at eight months old. Unacceptable. I shall not be bested by God. I have pilfered plastic potties, Cheerios and bagels. I am prepared to teach my boy to put the pee in the hole. All I need now is a potty song.
Or so I thought.
Apparently, sending Lizard to clog all the commodes in Heaven has put me in hot water with Mother Nature. The certifiable woman has threatened a pole dancing punishment if I don’t play nice with my brother. So I shall do what any sane leader of Hell would do—die my hair, shave my eyebrows and go into hiding for a century.
Desperate Devils do stupid things. But no one hides from Mother Nature for long, not even God and the Devil. Now we’re in a cornfield in Nowhere, Indiana. No magic. No cell phones. No IDs and three days to make nice and figure out how in the Hell to get to Kentucky.
Good luck to us…
Sometimes you need a little Heaven to raise a lot of Hell.
MY REVIEW
When Satan and his brother God have a knock down drag out fight . Their mother , who is as crazy as old bat, steps in and sends them to the middle of a corn field in Indiana .They have to become frenemies and learn to get along or they will be pole dancing with good ole momma for a century . They have three days to get it right and get to Kentucky . But when they find two homeless children and a beautiful diner owner who is more then she says she is . Will they be able to save the kids when Trolls come into town and all hell breaks loose in the small town . Oh and God finds love with the diner owner and may have a happily ever after with her .
OMG ok I love Lucifer and God in the other books but this is one amazing read . The characters are such a fun read . Lucifer is well he is as naughty as ever , he is his own pilfering foul mouthed self . Trying to out do his brother when it come to their sons . But when push comes to shove he is there for his brother and grows up a bit . God well his is kind of a nerd ,he has been by himself way too long . He also I think has a bit of ocd , color coordinating the pantry and his files and wanting to be clean all the time . You really want to hug him and take care of him . When he meets Tammy he is the funniest bumbling idiot out there and its so cute to watch . I seriously think that these two actually grow through out this book and become friends as well as brothers . Tammy is a new character and she is sweet and doesn't take any guff from either God or Satan . There is more to her then most people know and the whole town is the same as her . I must say that these characters were so much fun to read .
I sat down and read this book in an evening and man I have never laughed so hard . The characters are so much fun and you will love them . You get sucked into the story by the end of chapter one and the next thing you know you are done. The funniest way to read about sibling rivalry. I seriously going to say that this book is may favorite book from this author . So if you want a laugh out loud book to read check it out..

Good morning my peeps , today I have book 2 in the Arctic Wolf series . NEW WOLF by Hp Mallory and J.R Rain.
BOOK BLURB
A break-in at the local bar seems at first glance a routine case of vandalism, likely the result of high schoolers looking to score some free booze. Except no alcohol was stolen, there's no evidence of an actual break-in, and the thief was clearly looking for something.
But what? Chief Elodie Matthews wants to know.Wednesday, January 12, 2022

ITS FINALLY WARMING UP
Good morning peeps I am finally coming out if the deep freeze here on the farm . Today I have a fun book from a new author to me . Lets check out Pru Warren and her book CYN & THE PEANUT BUTTER CUP .
BOOK BLURB
Love, laughter, and short-term memory loss. When a sweet old lady’s mysterious past draws her young caregiver into a wild ride, they drag a hot FBI agent along with them. Cyn didn’t know caring for Maddy would require car chases, and Rhys never thought an old lady could steal his gun.Cynthia loves being Maddy’s caregiver. Watching over a slightly senile senior is a piece of cake after Cyn’s brutal divorce. It’s not wrong to hide away from life for a few weeks, er, months. Right?!Rhys (“like the peanut butter cup but not spelled the same”) is pretty sure he’s going to get fired from his job at the FBI. When Maddy steals his gun at the grocery store and shoots at a random stranger, Rhys figures that’s it for his career. Everything’s gone wrong……except for meeting Cyn. How will Rhys and Cyn find love while keeping Maddy safe from the (possibly imaginary) hordes who are (maybe) out to get her?A laugh-out-loud, sexy romantic comedy that includes a heroine with self-confidence problems, an absolutely delicious screw-up of a hero, and the strong-willed, slightly addled old lady who leads them both astray.
MY REVIEW
Cynthia is trying to get her life back together after the divorce from her idiot of a husband . So she takes the job as a care giver of a dementia patient Maddy . Who is the sweetest old lady ever . But when Maddy steals the gun of a sexy FBI agent Rhys and tries to shoot a random stranger at the grocery store. They are instantly attracted to each other but there is a mystery that needs to be solved . Will they be able to find the love that they both want and need or will Maddy lead them into more trouble then they both need .
These characters what can I say about them. Cyn well she is hiding mostly , her confidence took a nose dive after a divorce from a man who well was not really nice . She is always putting herself down and man has no confidence at all . She does love her job but she is so lonely and you can tell at the beginning .As she get entangled with Rhys she actually blossoms and you really see her confidence grow and be happy Rhys well he is a sexy FBI agent well he has his moments . He is fun loving and he really does get himself into trouble a lot . The break out star of the book though is Maddy . she is 93 years old and yes she has dementia but man she is so funny . She is the best escape artist out there and just keeps everyone on their toes . She really does grow on you and is smarter then they give her credit for and keeps everyone on their toes . You will love her when you read her.
This is one of those books that when you start you are instantly laughing your butt off . I mean come on when a book starts out with a shopping cart , stolen gun and shooting a random stranger in a grocery store, you will be on your way to a fun filled roller coaster ride . The characters are well written and you will love them . The author really takes her characters and puts them in some really funny situations through out the book. I was hooked by the end of chapter two and was laughing out loud all the way through the book . I can't wait to see where the author takes all the characters . I can't believe that it is the first book by this author . So if you want a good fun read check out this book .

WE ARE 6 DAYS INTO JANUARY
Welcome to day 6 of January , still as cold as ever up here on the ranch . So I dove into two of my favorite authors . Welcome to book ten in the Midlife Spirits series . HAUNTINGLY HAPPY by Hp Mallory and J.R Rain .
BOOK BLURB
Zombie curses, licorice witches and ghost children, oh, my!
When Luke Montague was hit by a truck, courtesy of Angharad’s witch magic, I was in shock. But, when he opened his eyes and looked up at me, saying “ma minette,” I knew my life would never be the same again.
And I was right.
But, even with Drake alive again, everything isn’t daisies and roses. No, far from it.
I’m still playing puppet on a string to Guarda (ahem, zombie puppet on a string) and important artifacts are still going missing throughout New Orleans, stolen at the hands of ghostly children. As if that weren’t enough, there’s a witch terrorizing the city with wands of licorice that turn into deadly snakes.
And my sudden onslaught of dreams of the Colonial 17th century are somehow related, I’m sure. In my dreams, I’m in a garrison under attack from ghostly invaders and they’re searching for someone—someone who, in turn, is searching for me.
Yep, just another day in the life of Peyton Clark, spiritualist, medium and perpetual mess up.
MY REVIEW
Peyton and the gang are back and having one of the worst weeks of her life . Luke Montaque is dead and lying in her living room until the moment he opens his eyes and she hears mon minatte . Now her life is going to change and sometimes not for the better . She is still the puppet with the strings being pulled by Guarda . Now artifacts are being stolen by ghost children. If that isn't enough to drive a person insane there is a witch going around terrorizing people with licorice whips that turn into deadly snakes .Then there are the dreams of 17 century Colonial times where some one is trying to find her . This is a typical day in her life will she come out this with all her friends intact and will she be able to shake the zombie puppet from hell .
Peyton and the gang is back and honestly funnier then ever . Poor Peyton has had such a bad day and its only going to get worse . You really start to feel for Peyton . She is strong but she so trying hard to keep her life together. Drake is finally in the flesh and wow i must say you thought he was sexy as a ghost he is even sexier as a flesh man. They are such a great couple and i love how well they work together . Ryan is well he is really not himself and man he is just scary in so many ways . There are a couple of fun cameos in this book Wanda and Poppy make an appearance and man they just add to the chaos of the main characters .
This is a fun read , I really love this series so much . The authors really know how to take their characters and put them such fun characters . The characters are well written and getting more and more complex with each book . I found myself on the edge of my seat through out the book and then laughing uncontrollably. There are some great twists and turns through out this book and you will get sucked in by the end of chapter 2 . So if you want a great series check them out for your winter reading to get through the cold snap

BOOK BLURB
Rock music is my life.
I don’t play any instrument. I can kinda sing, but I’m not one for being the center of attention. I love being in the crowd. Music connects everyone-the nerds, the jocks, the disillusioned, and the broken. To show my love to the rock gods on stage, I rave about them with my somewhat popular blog, Rockin with Tabby.Tuesday, January 4, 2022
