Grammy school is in full swing and it it quite a challenge for me. Luckily I only have to assist and make sure they stay on track and it's over by noon.

My oldest daughter got married in a Covert Beach Wedding that she pulled together in five days! I was wonderful and the whole family is very happy for the newlyweds.

You’re going to Bend??? That’s the setting for the Mercy Kilpatrick series we read in the TD&D group. I posted some pics in the last book discussion in the Book Discussion group. We were so impressed.

I’m reading Hard Line, too! Looking forward to all of our book discussions.

Enjoy everything, Anita💜

I'm current with the Mercy Kilpatrick Series and can't wait to actually see the area. My nephews future in-laws retired and bought a small ranch there.

Thank you, Robin! The Bend trip is going to be fantastic. I get to experience the changing season and see a new area. The Kerrigan Byrne book is the second in a new series. I really liked the first book.

message 28: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Kallenberger Marzola | 2090 comments Anita, I had to look up purple prose. I heard it used before but couldn't remember the meaning. I could use that descriptor in the past, and I'm sure in the future. Thanks.


message 29: by Anita (new)

Anita (anitanodiva) | 4015 comments This book was full of the stuff! I usually love Kerrigan Byrne, but this book was just dreadful. The plot was good, but the whole book could have been 100 pages shorter.

This was only a 3 star for me. I usually love Dare but the humor in this one was over the top and borderline ridiculous.
Nice review.

Anita (anitanodiva) | 4015 comments It was a little much, but I think I really needed that right now.
