Sunday: Another chilly morning. But it was nice for sleeping. Got up and got cleaned up before doing my usual Sunday morning blog visiting. Ran out to get a quick lunch and buy a few things I needed at the store before the Read-Along Chat at 2 pm. It was fun seeing everyone for the chat and talking about the series. Only 2 more books till we finish our read-along! Afterwards I did some more…

Creatures of the Night Book Tag 2026

Lisa Mandina — Thu, 22 Oct 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Read: My Boyfriend is a Vampire by Eva Knight (Helena Hunting). A different type of story from Helena Hunting, but a lighter fun vampire read. Want to read: Falling for a Villainous Vampire by Charlotte Stein. I read the first book in this series and DNFed the second, but hoping this third one will work for me in the next week or so! Read: How to Help a Hungry Werewolf by…

Sunday: Sleep wasn’t as great. While our houseguest, Rolla, seemed to be a good sleeper, both he and Argyle wanted to start the night one on either side of me, so I was unable to really move without one of them sliding into my space. When I moved Rolla, then it seemed he was up more during the night. Otherwise he was pretty snuggly along with Argyle. I did sleep till in 8 am though…

Lisa Loves to Discuss 2026 #8 – Let’s Talk Historical Fiction

Lisa Mandina — Wed, 14 Oct 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Okay, I need to get some more discussion posts done to meet my goal for the year, and while this isn’t necessarily my usual type of topic, it’s one that popped up as I’ve been reading some historical fiction right now. I don’t really think of myself as a historical fiction reader for the most part. But I do read some, and more than I realize at times. As I just started another historical…
