The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by <a href="http://www.caffeinatedbookreviewer.com/">Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer</a> ~ It's a chance to share news~ A post to recap the past week on your blog, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead.<br />
<br />
If you'd like to participate with The Sunday Salon, it is now being hosted by Deb at <a href="https://readerbuzz.blogspot.com/">Readerbuzz</a>.<br />
<br />
It’s Monday! What Are You Reading is a meme with a new host! It's now being hosted by Kathryn at <a href="https://thebookdate.wordpress.com/">Book Date</a>. This is where we share what we read this past week, what we hope to read this week…. and anything in between! This is a great way to plan out your reading week and see what others are currently reading as well… you never know where that next “must read” book will come from!<br />
<br />
I'm also linking to Stacking the Shelves which is hosted by <a href="https://www.readingreality.net/">Reading Reality</a>.<br />

<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Thirty-nine-year-old Rosi Laruee—named Rosisophia Doroche after her mother’s beloved Golden Girls—decides that the end of her twenty-year marriage and her dad’s impending knee replacement surgery are all the excuses she needs to visit Tucson Valley Retirement Community. But the drama follows Rosi when she finds the body of local tart and business owner, Salem Mansfield. The information she discovers using her newspaper reporter sleuthing skills coupled with the clues she picks up from lackluster Police Officer Dan Daniel lead to a surprise discovery when the murderer is revealed. Along the way, she meets a cast of characters in her parents' social circle who leave her questioning her parents' choices in friends while simultaneously befriending many of the residents, including a handsome landscaper and a brand-new Golden Retriever puppy she names Barley. Rosi’s visit to Tucson Valley proves more than she’d bargained for, but maybe, she realizes, it’s just the kind of change she needs.</p>
<strong>Laugh out loud with Rosi, and be prepared to get the happy feels along the way!</strong>

What could be more idyllic than starting a new gig with an exclusive train ride from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara? Turns out, a whole lot. Jaine must figure out how to tolerate her client—Chip Miller, aka Iron Man, a wealthy gym chain owner—who Jaine soon discovers is a tyrant and a bully with an ego as pumped as his pecs. Practically everyone on board seems to have it in for Chip—his dysfunctional family members, his beleaguered staff, even his supposed best buddy from the gym. So it’s no shocker when he’s found dead in his cabin. Unfortunately for Jaine, she’s the one who finds Chip’s body, leaving her DNA on the murder weapon, and making her a prime suspect in the police investigation. Forced to save her own caboose, can Jaine chug on through an unexpected love connection and ID the killer—or has she finally reached the end of the line?</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span>

Determined to make a fresh start, she has just completed the sale of her Pacific Heights home, not to mention her husband’s venture capital firm, and in doing so, is also freed from her responsibility as a board member of the company. Bringing with her only a few personal treasures, she is excited to move into the blank slate of a beautiful midtown penthouse, in the city that she has always loved. It is also where her two adult daughters now live.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">As Kezia settles into her new apartment, she meets her movie-star next-door neighbor, Sam Stewart, whose terrace borders hers. Just a couple of weeks after she arrives, however, a devastating crisis strikes New York City. Kezia and Sam find themselves connecting over their strong impulse to help those in need. As they share a life-changing experience of volunteering, a bond is sparked and a friendship is formed.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Kezia’s daughters, Kate and Felicity, are taken aback by their mother’s new friendship, both more focused on their own love lives than hers. But Kezia is learning that the changes she’s making are just what she needs to open new horizons.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">In this powerful and moving new novel, Danielle Steel illuminates the importance of human connection and embracing brave change, proving it’s never too late for a brand-new start.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><b>My Review</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Widow Kezia Hobson is ready to start her life over. Although she misses her late husband tremendously, she knows she must go on with her life. She sells her late husband’s firm and moves from San Francisco to New York City. It, also, gives her a chance to be close to her two adult daughters who live in New York, too. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">She buys a beautiful apartment and is looking forward to decorating it. She’s excited to find her next-door neighbor is a famous movie star, Sam Stewart. When tragedy strikes the city, Sam and Kezia are drawn to each other in their mutual desire to help anyone needing it. They volunteer their time and experience as tragedy brings them together. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Meanwhile, Kezia’s adult daughters are having their own personal issues. Kezia is torn between worrying about her children and developing her new relationship. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I truly loved this book. It’s been a long time since I read a Danielle Steel book, and this one has everything I always loved about them. It has emotions, family drama, a heartbreaking crisis, </span><span style="font-family: arial;">sibling rivalry,</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span><span style="font-family: arial;">and even a little romance. It has all the excitement of Steel’s earlier books. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I loved Kezia and Sam. Strong characters with a ton of sizzling chemistry. All the characters are written realistically with real life problems. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I gobbled this one up and enjoyed every minute. I had a wonderful time going on this journey with Kezia. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Definitely one of my top faves of 2024. Sometimes a book just touches all your emotions, and this one did for me. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQf5eqCbW3kVa-AABgudlzhaSaXgxKz3VQP_Z8DS_Ii4ksgjmIsph2ssBD6Q0a_30wGiB_RwtfAJsBr7c-_i7ufJ8hdHrbglmeKKMyZtDhMM58DzLKjt_etOXgta7lkvXeYi90leIHGTcMaah_2pbblbF1zZJFK5fI7VA3vAZqd-RDfbR7TuKgUhSxy3My/s156/Ratings%205_2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="33" data-original-width="156" height="33" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQf5eqCbW3kVa-AABgudlzhaSaXgxKz3VQP_Z8DS_Ii4ksgjmIsph2ssBD6Q0a_30wGiB_RwtfAJsBr7c-_i7ufJ8hdHrbglmeKKMyZtDhMM58DzLKjt_etOXgta7lkvXeYi90leIHGTcMaah_2pbblbF1zZJFK5fI7VA3vAZqd-RDfbR7TuKgUhSxy3My/s1600/Ratings%205_2.png" width="156" /></span></a></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">For reading challenges:</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">Alphabet Soup Reading Challenge 2024<br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">NetGalley & Edelweiss Reading Challenge 2024</span></div><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">FTC Disclosure: I voluntarily reviewed a free Advance Reader Copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher.

<a name='more'></a><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Hi Everyone! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I hope you all had a great week. Mine was filled with more medical issues. Things I wasn't expecting and more coming up next week. Just when I thought all was going well. I'm hoping for some good news for a change, but we'll see what happens.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I did manage to finish two books. Both were good. I set up my March reading. I had to carryover a few from February and will probably have to do the same in March, but these are the books I'm hoping to read. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I've been watching my usual TV shows - The Good Doctor, NCIS, Chicago Fire, PD, Med, Blue Bloods, Fire Country and Survivor. They seem to spread the shows out so I'm not too busy watching. I still find plenty of time to read.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Other than that, it's been quiet here. How was your week? I hope this is a great week for everyone. </span></p><p><br /></p><div><div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><b>Blog Tours/Spotlights/Reviews/Giveaways </b></span></div>

Unfortunately, the house comes with a multitude of her aunt's cats as part of the bequest. As Gerry fends off the greedy, jealous relatives and the mysterious part-time housekeeper, she gradually comes to realize that her aunt may have been murdered. Cats, teacups, horticulture and art come together to help Gerry solve the mystery.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><b>My Review</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">After the death of her Aunt Maggie, Gerry Coneybear can’t believe she inherits her aunt’s home. Gerry wants to sell it as she has her own life in Toronto, but the lawyer tells her she can’t do that. Her aunt made a few stipulations. One is that she must live in the house. The second is that she must care for her cats…all twenty of them. With the help of her aunt’s part-time housekeeper, Gerry is able to take care of them.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Gerry is an artist and decides to open an art gallery in the house and teach art classes. Everything is working out well for her, until she learns that her other relatives are not happy that Gerry inherited the house. Strange things start happening and Gerry fears for her life as well as the kitties. She comes to the realization that her aunt may have been murdered, but she has no proof. Gerry decides to do some investigating herself. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I liked Gerry right from the start. The rest of the cast I wasn’t sure about. I trusted no one. I thought any one of them could have been the guilty party. While the cats don’t communicate with the humans, the reader does get to know things from the cats’ point of view. I always enjoy a story that features the cats in the mystery. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The setting is perfect. It’s a small town in Canada. Everyone knows each other and many seem to be related in one way or another. The beginning of the book gives the reader a chance to get to know the characters, then the suspicions begin. It’s not known from the start that anything devious has happened, but it doesn’t take long to realize something isn't right. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The author did a good job of grabbing my interest and keeping me interested until the very end. Even then I wasn’t sure I was convinced as to who the culprit could be. There were several different possibilities.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">This is the first book in the series and I’m looking forward to the next book. It’s just the kind of mystery this cat lover enjoys.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiteFyca7hoYDuzlYSE2fVUVga2WdIJ5y5QgyGw8l4UMXUhKgwEzfX6uPkl57HwKTPqZ75So55RXHyWydY1fWYyxWMXfW8EvFKG_UeKVhNq8FPBYeQ6ic5mHFQLfKI-Vw84b18SPzqmhMjWtd9FB2fSg9T-vg-76gtG8qsPKZIyCGR9AFNYIz3iq80Z_OUh/s120/Ratings%204_2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="33" data-original-width="120" height="33" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiteFyca7hoYDuzlYSE2fVUVga2WdIJ5y5QgyGw8l4UMXUhKgwEzfX6uPkl57HwKTPqZ75So55RXHyWydY1fWYyxWMXfW8EvFKG_UeKVhNq8FPBYeQ6ic5mHFQLfKI-Vw84b18SPzqmhMjWtd9FB2fSg9T-vg-76gtG8qsPKZIyCGR9AFNYIz3iq80Z_OUh/s1600/Ratings%204_2.png" width="120" /></span></a></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">For reading challenges:</span></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Alphabet Soup Reading Challenge 2024</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The Purrfect Reading Challenge 2024<br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">What An Animal Reading Challenge 2024<br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">Cloak & Dagger Reading Challenge 2024</span></div><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">FTC Disclosure: I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of this book from the publisher.

Now it's up to her great-niece to catch the killer. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">It’s 1965 and teenage Frances Adams is at an English country fair with her two best friends. But Frances’s night takes a hairpin turn when a fortune-teller makes a bone-chilling prediction: One day, Frances will be murdered. Frances spends a lifetime trying to solve a crime that hasn’t happened yet, compiling dirt on every person who crosses her path in an effort to prevent her own demise. For decades, no one takes Frances seriously, until nearly sixty years later, when Frances is found murdered, like she always said she would be.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">In the present day, Annie Adams has been summoned to a meeting at the sprawling country estate of her wealthy and reclusive great-aunt Frances. But by the time Annie arrives in the quaint English village of Castle Knoll, Frances is already dead. Annie is determined to catch the killer, but thanks to Frances’s lifelong habit of digging up secrets and lies, it seems every endearing and eccentric villager might just have a motive for her murder. Can Annie safely unravel the dark mystery at the heart of Castle Knoll, or will dredging up the past throw her into the path of a killer?</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">As Annie gets closer to the truth, and closer to the danger, she starts to fear she might inherit her aunt’s fate instead of her fortune.</span></div></div></div></div></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span>

Cassidy Forest: He’s an author of one book[1], an artisan of a hundred
drafts — be turned cover[title] bearing entities[creatures].</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Spent
most of his youth experiencing stories through the medium of
movies[Animography of LAIKA Studio; Pixar], music[Albums of AC/DC;
Muse], games[Catalogues of Amanita Design; Thatgamecompany], and
books[Shelves of Nail Gaiman; Agatha Christie] to give credit to only a
truly small excerpt of a much wider Library.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">He
feels a need to write about his dreams and imaginative notions as
strong as the need for sleep; often trading one for the other, he finds

Maybe not, but mixologist Pepper Revelle wants to neutralize her nemesis. She hopes she’ll have time for cocktails and Easter parades with her friends, too—as well as the next step in her romance with fellow bartender Neil.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">But they don’t count on finding a body in their hotel room, the machinations of her vexing ex Mr. Mixy, and drama with her quirky family. To clear her name and settle the score, Pepper must crack the case—and figure out if her increasingly dangerous enemy engineered the murder or if another killer is involved.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">As they face a farting ghost, an unexpected gig, spooky surprises and the wacky charms of the French Quarter on Easter weekend, can Pepper and Neil unravel the mystery before they’re flamed like a lemon peel in a Vieux Carré?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">WHY OH RYE? is the seventh book in the Bohemia Bartenders Mysteries, funny whodunits with a dash of romance set in a convivial collective of cocktail lovers, eccentrics and mixologists. These quasi-cozy culinary comedies contain a hint of heat, a splash of cursing and shots of laughter, served over hand-carved ice.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><b>My Review</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Pepper Revelle and her colleagues from the Bohemia Bartenders take us on a wild ride to New Orleans. It’s Easter and Pepper is sort of looking forward to going to her hometown. However, all is not that pleasant since she will be dealing with her difficult parents and a killer who is threatening all of them. In the midst of this, the Bohemia Bartenders are working a party and Pepper’s looking for some romance from her boss, Neil. Much will be going on during this trip.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Pepper and Neil’s chance for a romantic evening comes to a crashing halt when they discover a dead body in their hotel bed. As far as the police are concerned, all fingers point towards Pepper and Neil committing the crime, but they didn’t even know the guy. It becomes obvious Pepper is being framed by her number one enemy. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Pepper, Neil, and the Bohemia Bartenders set out to do their own investigation. The stakes are high since the killer is also threatening Pepper and everyone she loves.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">What a roller-coaster ride this book turned out to be! Just when you think you’ve figured it all out, you find out that you didn’t at all. This has become one of my favorite series. Each book we learn more about Pepper and her friends. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I strongly suggest you read this series from the first book. There are continuing storylines and you won’t want to miss any of the fun. There’s mystery, humor, even a little romance with a cast of whacky characters. They will keep you laughing as well as holding your breath as they try to avoid being victims themselves.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">This series always manages to sweep me away to another place and join in the search for a killer. It’s edge-of-your-seat reading for me. I’ve read the entire series, and the books keep getting better and better. I didn’t think that was possible since I loved the first one. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The next book takes us to Scotland and I’m more than ready!</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhytIds_EZMiwvAEdUBII3zDPmWaXgZlfcUnhzI_IixkLCjc-yK8P1D5rTqYhVac8O98J2aGob7XvjSDDOBs9DfSgyEkoxFo4wTayLds4a5CIR5vDPwt4YRJuYTtV2-oU7rXVdozZ-IcfTcqqnsnnL6egBdPOJeeMfEJ4o-YOLNQidj4eZlgw7xdCiyZelQ/s156/Ratings%205_2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="33" data-original-width="156" height="33" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhytIds_EZMiwvAEdUBII3zDPmWaXgZlfcUnhzI_IixkLCjc-yK8P1D5rTqYhVac8O98J2aGob7XvjSDDOBs9DfSgyEkoxFo4wTayLds4a5CIR5vDPwt4YRJuYTtV2-oU7rXVdozZ-IcfTcqqnsnnL6egBdPOJeeMfEJ4o-YOLNQidj4eZlgw7xdCiyZelQ/s1600/Ratings%205_2.png" width="156" /></a></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">For reading challenges:</span></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Alphabet Soup Reading Challenge 2024<br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">Literary Escapes Reading Challenge 2024 (Louisiana)<br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">Cloak & Dagger Reading Challenge 2024<br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">Cruisin’ thru the Cozies Reading Challenge 2024</span></div><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">FTC Disclosure: I voluntarily reviewed a free Advance Reader Copy of this book from the author.

Next week will be busier for me as I have a few medical tests coming up. Hopefully, it's all just routine. Maybe I'll have a chance to do some reading while I'm waiting around to have the tests :) </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I finished two books this week. I'm working on my March schedule, but I have too many left over from February. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Not much happening here. I've been watching my shows - The Good Doctor, Fire Country, Chicago PD, Fire, and Med. I'm already finished with Game of Thrones and enjoyed it. I'm working on what to binge next. For now, I'm just watching my weekly shows.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I hope you all have a great week! </span></p><div><div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><b>Blog Tours/Spotlights/Reviews/Giveaways </b></span></div>

<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Would you join a book club that gets absorbed right into their cozy mysteries? These people did, and now they are hooked on traveling into books to become the amateur sleuths!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In this journey, the book club travels to the Kingdom of Everglow, where the royal family is rocked to the core when a key staff member falls dead at a community event. In the turmoil that follows, any evidence of what happened is destroyed, so they must go by the recollection of witnesses who were too busy enjoying the celebration to offer any valuable testimony. The royal family is further distressed when they return to the castle to see signs of a break in that somehow defied their complex security system. They wake the next day to discover that one member of the royal family has fallen into a deep, deathlike sleep.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Can the Snapdragon Inn Book Club uncover the plot behind this attack on the royal family? Can they find the antidote to wake the princess from her supernatural slumber? Can they bring peace back to the worried royal family and the frightened community? Let’s hope they can, since they must solve the mystery and reach The End to get out of the book and back to their home in Colorado.</p>
