Sunday Post October 4, 2020/It's Monday! What are You Reading? Plus Mailbox Monday October 5, 2020

I am linking with Sunday Post at Caffeinated Book Reviewer.

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? now at The Book Date (at Wordpress)

What Are You Reading?, is where we gather to share what we have read this past week and what we plan to read this week. It is a great way to network with other bloggers, see some wonderful blogs, and put new titles on your reading list.

I had another commercial closing this week which I had ready to go so it wasn't too intense.
I made good progress on several probates and litigation files although I have more to do.

I've gotten a couple more pictures of the deer, even in our own yard. I'll continue to try to get some closer.
But this week I am sharing a picture of my October manicure. (Hubby took terrible pictures so I had to do it myself.)

The left hand has a spider web.

Our temperatures continue to be cooler with nights in the 50s and days in the 70s.

I enjoyed my reading and listening this week. I finished two audiobooks and one ebook. I posted two reviews and my usual memes.

I apparently lost my 'shout out' paragraph last week while I was learning the new Blogger.
I visited 18 blogs both last week and the week before.
Shout Out this week to TBR, ETC. Tina is an avid reader and a 'book blogger and reviewer who is easily distracted by new releases.'

Don't forget- Audible is offering free children's titles during these days at home.
Audiobooks.com is also offering free listens for children.

The Skeletons of Scarborough House:
(The Chapelwick Mysteries #1)
Written By: Kitty French
Narrated By: Cat Gould
Duration: 9 hours 28 minutes
I am 3/4ths in this fun, ghostly story.
(She finally got the pug.)
Source: 10/2020 Audiobooks.com Mystery Book Club.
Summary:
Welcome to Chapelwick, a leafy English town in the hills of Shropshire, where chocolate fudge cake comes served with a side of murder.
Scarborough House is haunted, and it's not doing much for Donovan Scarborough's investment portfolio. No one wants to buy a place with levitating crockery, or (the wrong kind of) rhythmic pounding throughout the night.
Luckily, Melody 'I-See-Dead-People' Bittersweet has just launched her own ghostbusting agency with best friend Marina, geeky, keen Arthur, and a one-eared pug called Lestat. They're quick to take the case, even if it has already sort of (definitely) been given to Leo Dark, Melody's rakish, despicable ex.
Melody soon discovers the resident phantoms are three brothers, one who was murdered at twenty, while the others lived to old age. But did the family exile the right person, or did the true killer get away with it?
Donovan Scarborough doesn't care who solves the case. Whoever gets rid of the ghosts gets paid.
Can Melody and her new crew untangle the mystery, and bring the brothers peace, before Leo? Or will his distracting sexiness and Melody's bonkers family cause the agency to fall at its first hurdle?

The Uninvited: Book 8 in Krewe of Hunters series
by Heather Graham
I'm hoping jumping in on book 8 will be okay.
Source: Would you believe 2012 Netgalley?
1777: In the throes of the Revolutionary War, Landon Mansion is commandeered by British Lord "Butcher" Bedford. He stabs Lucy Tarleton—who spurned his king and his love—leaving her to die in her father's arms.
NOW: After the day's final tour, docent Allison Leigh makes her rounds while locking up…and finds a colleague slumped over Bedford's desk, impaled on his own replica bayonet.
Resident ghosts may be the stock-in-trade of stately Philadelphia homes, but Allison—a noted historian—is indignant at the prospect of "ghost hunters" investigating this apparent murder.
Agent Tyler Montague knows his hauntings and his history. But while Allison is skeptical of the newcomer, a second mysterious murder occurs. Has "Butcher" Bedford resurfaced? Or is there another malevolent force at work in Landon Mansion? Wary, yet deeply attracted, Allison has to trust in Tyler and work with him to discover just what uninvited guest—dead or alive—has taken over the house.
Or their lives could become history!

The Haunted Forest Tour
Written By: James A. Moore, Jeff Strand

Summary:
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Haunted Forest Tour!

Not thrilling enough? Well, it's Halloween, and so we're offering a very special tour through the Haunted Forest. The new route goes deeper into the woods than any civilians have ventured before, and you're guaranteed to get a good scare! Rest assured that every possible security precaution has been taken. The Haunted Forest Tour has a 100% safety record, and technical difficulties are unheard of. You will be in no danger whatsoever.
We promise.

October 4, 2020 - I enjoyed reading first thing each morning this week.
I am still enjoying the devotions and readings with the One Year Bible plan through You Version App. I considered changing but this is the reading group that is closest to my husband's reading so we can sometimes discuss the same passages.
I am midway in another 3-day study: The Counsel Of The Lord Shall Stand.

I completed three books and posted two reviews which keeps me up to date.
My NetGalley shelf is now at 4, one current and three remaining titles from 2012-13 which I still hope to read this year. Still one more that would be good for October.
I have added no new author review titles this week. I still have one carry over author ebook left. I have two audiobooks from authors. At lease one of these will be for October.
Still many titles through InstaFreebie and many new author requests I haven't replied to.

Welcome to Mailbox Monday.

Mailbox Monday is a gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week and explore great book blogs. This Meme started with Marcia at A Girl and Her Books (fka The Printed Page) and after a tour of hosts has returned to its permanent home at Mailbox Monday. Thanks to the ladies sharing hosting duties: Leslie of Under My Apple Tree, Serena of Savvy Verse & Wit and (yours truly). Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.
No new review titles this week.
Someday I'll check the email requests I have been receiving. {Sigh.}
I added another 8 Audible Plus titles.
I used a credit at Audiobooks.com for the Mystery Book Club so I can listen to several books for October - mysteries, ghosts and howls.
Two free Kindle titles this week.

Sunday Words of Encouragement October 4, 2020

Our service opened with the song “I’m Gonna See a Victory” which set a nice tone. Then our church celebrated communion this morning, which we missed in person but shared in spirit.

This morning’s service featured our missionary from Fire Bible. Mr. Dove proposed that we all have an expiration date, even if we don’t know when it is. Therefore we need to use what you have now, before expiration! 

The Fire Bible has been issued now in 57 languages. The Bibles are in the local language and include study resources. It is valuable especially to those in the country where it is to serve.

Mr. Dove shared about a time when he and his wife went to Laos in the 1990s, He was the only white man and the only man over 5’1. Mr. Dove was a man of 6’2 who weighed 350 pounds. An old, grandmotherly woman came up to him, poked him in the belly and asked: “how many people are in you?” Later Mr. Dove realized he should have answered “many with God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit being the leaders”. By leading one person to Christ, many more have an opportunity to hear of Him.

Luke reports how Jesus sent 72 disciples out to reach others. Luke 10:1-23. He sends each of us out to reach others. If we can’t go personally, we can share in the project by giving to spread God’s word. We can always give something but can we imagine how many lives may be changed if we give beyond the comfortable?

Mr. Dove asked us: How many people are in you?

This is the song I was led to share today.
This is the message I feel and want to share to others!

Verses for Today:
Luke 10:1-23 (NIV)
Jesus Sends Out the Seventy-Two
10 After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. 2 He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. 3 Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. 4 Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.

Lord, help me to reach others and share whatever gifts you have blessed me with.

Sharing Beyond Books #405 Comment Giveaway October 3, 2020

Hello again and Welcome to Sharing Beyond Books, SBB
Thanks to everyone who commented last week.
Q#404: How do you Unhaul? There were mixed answers so the totals exceed the number of people who commented: four donate, four gift, three hold on to their books, two swap, two use Little Free Library, two sell, and Linda primarily deletes because she reads ebooks.

The Winner from SBB #404 comments is #12 DENISE who can make a GC choice if international or book choice from the Updated (**Finally!) ARC/Review titles or (recently updated) Love and Christmas titles - all linked near the end of the post. -- [11/16/19 I plan to add some review books this week and maybe some new Christmas and Love titles as soon as I locate the box I put them in. 10/3/20 I have set aside some books for SBB and will take a picture and add them to the list in the next week or so.

**NOTE: I did post an Updated ARC and Other books for Giveaways. I have to go back and list the titles -- someday.
Please let me know your choice by completing the WINNER FORM.

WEEK #405

(One Question.)

Becky asks: How do you go about deciding what to read next? or do you just go with what ever is next in you TBR pile??

We have answered somewhat similar questions regarding handling of our TBR but not this specific question. I have so many books that I try to have a little bit of a plan and that is why I have a list and keep track. The Alphabet Challenge gets me looking for books to match the alphabet. I like to rotate geners: sci fi, mystery, romance, and non-fiction. I read a couple of NetGalley titles each month and try to meet my TBR goal by reading enough books each month from prior years. I read seasonally (holidays like Christmas, New Years, Valentines, summer and ghostly and horror for October). Then I also try to include both continuing and new series.
So I pick up my next read based on all that input rather than just looking through and saying "Oh, that one looks good." :-)

Who knew they actually have flowcharts to help pick your next read!?

Thanks to those who are sending in Questions. DON'T BE SHY! Surely everyone has a Q or two you'd like to ask. Input suggestions in this Suggested Question Form. At the end of each month, I draw from the suggestions I used during the month and that person will get a 1/2 book choice or $2.50 towards GC. I thank everyone for submitting questions. Thanks for sending in questions! The supply of questions is dwindling so share some if you think of any -- even if they are duplicates I'll weed through or try to modify them.

Your turn to share. Becky asks: How do you go about deciding what to read next? or do you just go with what ever is next in you TBR pile??

SBB Comment Winners can choose a selection from the Updated ARC and Other books, including the "Love" and Christmas titles all in one post.

SBB Rules:
a) Must be a follower.
b) Share a comment on the question above.
Open internationally and an international winner may get a smaller book or a $5.00 GC if I decide the mailing is too much.
I will pick a Comment winner from all comments made through Saturday, October 17, 2020, at 5 PM central.

Audible Book Review: The Gun: The End Time Saga Origin Short Story by Daniel Greene

This is a quick, introduction to an EOW series.
The Gun: The End Time Saga Origin Short Story
By: Daniel Greene
Narrated by: Keith Szarabajka
Series: The End Time Saga

Length: 1 hr and 33 mins
Release date: 06-18-19
Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.
Genre: 90 minute Short Story, Horror, Sci Fi
My Rating: 4.0 of 5.0 Overall; Story 4.0; Narration 4.0.

Publisher's Summary
A new gritty origin short story in the End Time Saga universe.
A dismembered body in the park....
Grand Rapids Detective Bill DeYoung is an old-timer riding it out until retirement. A ravaged body in the park and a drunken witness are about to change his plans; so is the end of the world.
The events happen concurrently with the first novel, End Time, but it can be heard at any point in the series to get exciting additional content on the origin of a main character.
Start the award-winning series filled with duty, treachery, honor, betrayal, and grim hope today!

Review:
Bill DeYoung is an old timer Detective with the Grand Rapids force. He has seen a lot over his years of service but the body they investigate in the park that morning is different and alarming, even to him. As he locates and begins to interview the drunken woman who was a witness, reports of similar attacks are coming in from other locations in the city, including near his precinct. Soon it becomes apparent that they are dealing with something unusual – an end of the world scenario.

This story centers on two primary characters, Detective DeYoung, a dogged pro, and the drunken witness, Tess. DeYoung’s younger, somewhat arrogant partner, Westman, is also involved. I enjoyed the brief character development and interaction. It didn’t take long to figure out the nature of the attack so then the question became who would survive and how.

I didn’t know anything about The End, the ongoing post apocalyptic series. Had I realized the true nature of the story I might have saved it to listen to as part of my Fraterfest event. I enjoyed the quick story with its ironic ending. It is enough to make me interested in the series. Lucky for me books 1 through 3 are free as part of Audible Plus! I recommend this to readers who like plague, end of the world stories.

Audio Notes: Keith Szarabajka does a good job with the narration. He provides distinct voices and seems to capture the personalities of the characters.

If you saw the pictures posted of my bookshelves and boxes you know I do have lots of books! And that doesn't include the other eight or so boxes at my office!! And more books as I find deals too good to pass up! I am sharing my book bounty by these Friday Pick Giveaways.

I started Friday Pick on November 27, 2009 and in almost NINE years I have posted 88 groups of 16 plus an additional 21 totaling 1,429 books to find new homes! (as of November 8, 2019).

I am happy to say that so far about 1,330+ books have found new homes through this feature! YAY. [A year or so ago I posted I had reached 2000 books given away. As I calculated the numbers 11/2/17 I realized that had to be an error. I realized I went from 1098 to 2001 instead of 1101. Guess I was tired; sorry for the error.] I have to update my print out to check the exact number sent out - a few were never claimed. I periodically update the lists - deleting those won. You can still go to the Friday Pick list link to see older posts and the older lists book pictures if you want!

Note rules here regarding international entries.

Because postage to overseas can be prohibitive I am willing to give a $5.00 book certificate to international winners - Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Borders, ARe, TWRP, ClassAct Books, eTreasures, Desert Breeze, etc....you tell me where and I'll set it up. So for my overseas visitors, your comment may indicate a smaller book and I'll check postage or note your choice of gift card.

I learned that The Book Depository does not ship to everywhere. The postage for some of the books to faraway places runs between $7.00 and $10.00 and up. Since I would award $5.00 for The Book Depository to an international winner, as an alternative you may choose a smaller book and we will hope the postage will not exceed $6.00. If the postage is more, or if you want to pick a larger book and you are willing to pay any extra postage beyond the $6.00 I will work with you on that. This may not make a difference to many but if it helps one or two of you to give one of my books a home that will make me happy too. :o)

Repeating this helpful blog tip: You can right click on a link and you will be given the choice to open the link in a new window or tab so you do not navigate away from the screen you are on!! I use this all the time!
