What’s new with me?
I have to say not a lot is new, yet so much is going on. How is that possible?
We attended a birthday party in Terre Haute, IN last Sunday for one of our best friends. They live near the airport and the Air Show was going on. What a treat to sit in their back yard & watch the Blue Angels fly over doing formations. There were lots of other planes, but what type they were was a mystery to me.
Most of this week was devoted to cleaning, cooking, reading, & writing. I hope you have been keeping up with the posts from the website. WordPress has an easy option to share blog posts from other writers that I think you will find interesting. You can look for more of those on the blog during the week. I have very eclectic reading tastes so you never know what will show up on the website & Facebook page.
That’s what my week looked like.

What to Read from the August 26 – 2018 Newsletter
This week I revisited the Ghosts of Culloden Moor. I previously wrote about them here. Gregor by Jo Jones, #43 in the series, was released this week. I quickly picked right back up on our Culloden 79 and their adventures with Soncerae. The publishing schedule for this series has been released through the end of the year. Lots more coming out soon!
The Branches of Love series from Sally Britton is wonderful. I’m planning an in depth review of this series once the final book is released. This week I read His Bluestocking Bride. 
I am making my way through a memoir from Diana Marcum , a Pulitzer Prize winner & LA Times author. The Tenth Island is about loss, longing & finding her special place in the Azorean Islands. It is slower reading but so rich in words that I almost feel I am there with her.
I shared a reading list from one of my blog followers, Dining with Donald. His reading runs much more to detective mysteries than mine but it is an intriguing list. Donald is an Anglican priest from Canada. He also writes some very interesting restaurant reviews.
Robert Kugler author of The Last Good Day & The Best of Aloha Kugs wrote a very interesting blog post reflecting on milestone birthdays & being a “grown up”. Since I just had one of those, I found the thoughts & reflections timely & interesting. 
What are you reading? Do you have any suggestions for me?
