Sunday Post February 9, 2020/It's Monday! What are You Reading? Plus Mailbox Monday February 10, 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.

Hubby is doing better; somedays he has a little more energy then others he has none.
I picked up the daily wear contacts which are working nicely although I still need drops during the day.

Here you can see part of the reason I am having trouble keeping my birdfeeder filled. :-)
The squirrels and deer keep raiding the feeder.

Our temperatures ranged this week -- mostly warmer and then a dip back to high 30s. And we had rain on and off all week. That's okay - the rain will help bring in the green.

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

I visited only 14 blogs last week.
Shout Out this week to Cornerfolds. Tracy is a bookworm and a proud wife and mommy to three fur babies. YA fantasy is her favorite and her blog features mostly YA.
Thank you to all the nice people who visit me.

About This Audible Original
In a world where women hold all the power and men have barely been an afterthought, an intrepid shipmistress must put aside everything she knows if she is to save her people.
Bela is at the helm of the Sandcrow, a ship sent from calm seas to the far frozen north in search of a legendary power that could turn the tide of war. Locked into ice, the Sandcrow is lost. Now, for the shipmistress and her crew, a desperate voyage becomes a chilling struggle for survival against nature, fear, and prejudice.
If Bela can lead them to their ultimate destination, will the magic they find be their redemption—or their destruction?

Reimagining Mr. Right
by Wynter Daniels
I chose a romance for this week.
Source: NetGalley 2019.
Former ugly duckling Sydney McCoy yearns to break into television. And the hottest guy she works with—TV sports personality, Chip Haggerty—could be her ticket to the airwaves. Too bad that Chip hardly knows Sydney is alive. Worse, she has no clue how to speak Chip’s sports-oriented language.
Up-and-coming real estate agent Levi Barnett is desperate to convince the owner of a hot downtown property to sell so the company Levi works for can redevelop the site into a multi-million-dollar complex. When he literally crashes into a woman he knew in high school who could champion his cause, he’ll do anything to get Sydney’s help. All she wants from him in return is help communicating with her office crush. No problem! But when Levi starts to fall for the beautiful Sydney, he wonders if he’s making the worst mistake of his life by being her would-be Cyrano de Bergerac.

Hometown Cowboy, Rocky Mountain Riders, Book 1
Written By: Sara Richardson
Narrated By: Laurie Winkel
Publisher: Hachette Book Group USA
Date: January 2018
Duration: 9 hours 22 minutes
This is another romance for Valentines' week.
Source: 8/9/18 Two for One Credit Audiobooks.com.
NEVER FALL IN LOVE WITH A COWBOY
Jessa Mae Love is done with relationships. No matter how tempting he might be, she cannot--will not--fall for a man like Lance Cortez. The outrageously handsome cowboy is practically a living legend in Colorado, as famous for riding bulls as he is for breaking hearts. What would a big-time rodeo star like him see in a small-town veterinarian who wears glasses, rescues animals, and cries when watching rom-coms? Turns out, plenty.
Raising bulls, riding the circuit, and looking after his ailing father--Lance never stands still for long. Yet Jessa catches his attention, and the more she tries to resist him, the more he wants her. When she agrees to move to the ranch to keep an eye on Lance's dad, Jessa tells him they have to keep it professional: no flirting, no sweet talk, and definitely no kissing. But with Jessa now living under his roof, that's easier said than done . . .

February 9, 2020 - I am again 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 on day 12 of a 21-day plan: Rooted. I am enjoying this study.

I completed three books and posted two reviews which keeps me up to date.
My NetGalley shelf is now at 17, plus the four titles from 2012-13 which are now planned for 2020.
(I have 22 NetGalley titles toward Alphabet letters.)
I have two author titles carried into January 2020.
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.
I didn't request nor receive any ebooks for review.
I picked up a February free book at Christianaudio and two free Audible choices. 
I also picked up two for one credit at Audiobooks.com.
I picked one Kindle $.99 and added only 2 free kindle titles again this week. (Note these are in my Amazon library, NOT on my Kindle until I download and transfer them.) Are your mailbox and TBR piles blooming?

Sunday Words of Encouragement February 9, 2020

Our substitute Sunday School teacher gave a lesson he titled, “Why, God?” We shared in praise and worship and then Pastor gave his second sermon regarding marriage in his series, Relationship Goals.

Last week Pastor stressed the importance of marriage and how Satan is constantly attacking marriages to separate husband and wife and separate them from God.

Last week’s point was:
Your marriage is under attack. You must choose every day to fight for your marriage together.
The enemy wants to destroy your marriage, destroy everything around you. Satan hates your marriage. Men – love your wives. Wives – respect your husbands.

This week Pastor titled his message “I Do Until You Did.”
Each couple is unique and has to learn to handle the pressure cooker that is life.
Our marriages face intense pressures, stresses and challenges -- financial, job, location changes, health, children, losses, infidelity, and so much more.

If you begin tracking what mate ‘did’ it creates problems. Keeping score will only stress love and respect. Marriage brings the two to become one. Keeping score defines the end of me and the beginning of you instead of preserving the union of “us”.

We each have the choice to model or conduct and our marriage after the example of Jesus or the example of the culture of the world. Many try to combine scriptural and secular but this still results in problems.

Ephesians defines the right attitude in marriage: Ephesians 5:15-31.
Verse 21 says, “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.”
Marriage calls for mutual submission. It requires a conscious decision.
This is the attitude we need to hold “out of reverence for Christ”.
Some people agree to resolve issues and move on. Ephesians 4:26 “In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,”. But others live to be offended.
There is no room for scorekeeping. Verse 15: So...be careful how you live...

Is your marriage truly reverent toward Jesus?
Is your marriage filled with the Holy Spirit?
Is your marriage (and life) Christ-centered?

The Point: Marriage must be filled with and surrounded by the Holy Spirit to make it through the pressures of this life.

Are you allowing the enemy to win?
Imitate God, not this world.
Learn to:

• Forgive quickly and fully. (Don’t let the seed of criticism and bitterness create a sickness in your heart.)
•  Love fully and unconditionally
•  Put your marriage above all else, second only to Jesus.
•  Surrender your life and surrender your marriage to Jesus. Decide to make a change in you and your approach. Decide to love and forgive first.
•  Start growing together. (Not apart.)
•  Accept help, mentoring, counseling. It is not proof of failure but proof of determination and commitment.

Fight for your marriage together, as one body!

I thought this song would fit today.

Verses for Today:
Ephesians 5:15-17, 21-22 and 28 (NIV)
15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.
21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord.
…
28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.


I praise the God of heaven and give thanks for my husband of 34 plus years. I am grateful that we learned early to make Jesus the center of our home.

Please let me know your choice by completing the WINNER FORM.

WEEK #388

(One Question.)

Nikki asks: What's your favourite movie classic??

For years my favorite classic movie was Madam X which I haven't watched in years and I don't think it is counted as a true 'classic'. For true classic I would pick Wizard of Oz. My hubby would pick Shane, which may not make a 'classic' list.
I think "classic" may have different definitions.
Here is a list of Top 100 Classics at Rotten Tomatoes. I would not include movies after 1970 (50 years back) so that would eliminate 7 of those on the list.
I would include several others like The Sound of Music, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Fiddler on the Roof and Peter Pan. Of course all of those are musicals and I was a big fan of those.

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 1,300+ 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)
