It's Monday! What Are You Reading? April 30, 2018

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's an opportunity to visit other blogs and to comment on their reads. And ... you can add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date. And here we are!

**************************************

Well, I didn't post last Monday because we were on vacation in the Black Hills so this is two weeks worth of reading. I, of course, had unrealistic expectations on the number of books I would get read. Alas, vacation sightseeing got in the way. But we had a great time!

And then after we got back, I had such a busy week with most of my evenings booked and that really cut into my reading time as well. This past weekend we ended up babysitting 4 of our 8 grandkids, with the oldest being 14 (not too hard), the youngest only 15 months old (high maintenance), and the other two right in the middle. Needless to say, there was no reading for me all weekend.

I am so ready to get in some quality reading time and I have quite a few posts to write as well. Someday I'll get caught up, right?

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all have a good week. Happy reading!

Release Day! Broken Wide by Susan Kaye Quinn

Happy Release Day!

Broken Wide

Broken Wide by Susan Kaye Quinn
Series: Mindjack: Zeph #3
Print and ebook, 313 pages
Published April 16, 2018

All he wanted was peace; all he had was hope.

Zeph had spent half his life hiding what he was—keeping his mindjack powers away from dangerous men and running away from everyone he loved to keep them safe. Now that his life is finally coming together—his mom and sister are safe; the girl he loves in his arms—the world is falling apart. The mindreader backlash against jackers is growing daily. Jacker-bigot politicians are stoking fear and gaining power. And jackers on the Fronter’s Purity list are winding up dead on the streets outside Jackertown.

Even the Jacker Freedom Alliance is tearing itself apart.

All Zeph wants is a chance to build a life with Tessa—but even she is losing faith. If there’s no peace between jackers and readers, what future could they have? Then a protest goes terribly wrong, the president starts talk of a Jackertown siege, and a MINDWARE CEO races to develop a dangerous mind-blasting technology. It seems foolish to even hope for peace, but one thing becomes very clear—the only way to put the world back together is to bring down the powerful people breaking it apart.

The conclusion to the bestselling Mindjack: Zeph series, where daring to hope for peace could be the most radical—and dangerous—move of all.

Oh my gosh! We had a blizzard this past weekend. The wind was unbelievable! And the snow just wouldn't stop. Everything in pretty much the whole state (South Dakota) was closed down. We even had a snow plow/sand truck stuck in front of our house. How does that happen?

Both interstates in the state were closed for most of Friday and all day Saturday. And we're supposed to get more snow in the middle of the week through the weekend. I'm not sure if our trip to the Black Hills is going to happen now. So bummed! The snow needs to stop.

Here are a couple of pictures I took on Saturday to capture the craziness of the weekend.

This is our front window with a plant in front of it. The snow was stuck to the window when we got up Saturday morning. I thought this made a very interesting picture.
