I feel a certain amount of nostalgia as I write this Sunday Post. This will be my last Sunday Post posted from Atlanta. Next Sunday I’ll be in Seattle. Our stuff will be somewhere in the middle, but I’ll be on the west coast again. I’m looking forward to it.
My cats, probably not so much. We’re flying them again. It’s about five hours on a plane vs. five days in a car. There just aren’t enough tranquilizers in the world for that trip, no matter who the tranqs get administered to.
But this past week has been anything but tranquil. It was Thanksgiving week here in the U.S. And speaking of thankfulness, there are a couple of thankful type-winners announcements!
Kelsey Summer won the Black Friday Blog Hop and Erin Fender won the copy of Ice Cold by Cherry Adair. Congratulations winners!
One specific Thanksgiving note. I spent Thanksgiving in Little Rock, Arkansas with Galen’s sister and her partner. Because we were in Little Rock, I was able to meet up with Jo Jones, the blogger behind the Mixed Book Bag. Jo was in Little Rock visiting her family. Us book bloggers sure do get around!
Reading Reality got around last week, too. Here’s what happened:
A Labor of Love: Picking the Best Ebook Romances of 2012

Fall In Love Blog Hop
Black Friday Blog Hop
Stacking the Shelves (23)
The Fall in Love Blog Hop is still open! The giveaway here at Reading Reality is the winner’s choice of any one book in Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files, under $10, print or ebook, to any country that Book Depository will ship. I love Harry Dresden, and I want everyone else to fall in love with the poor unlucky wizard too.
So what will be happening this week? I confess, I’m going to be spending a lot of this week moving. There will be pain, and anguish. And three cats locked in the spare bathroom.
On Tuesday, I’ll be reviewing Spectra by Joanne Elder. This book is very cool. It’s science fiction. Not science fiction romance, at least not so far, but science fiction. At the heart is an ethical dilemma. What if you discovered an alien race that were spirit only, no bodies? And what if exposure to them made you smarter, but killed them? And no one would know what you were doing, but you became really, really brilliant? But really evil. I’ve just gotten to the good bits.
And speaking of Harry Dresden…well, I was, just a few paragraphs ago. The latest book in the Dresden Files is coming out on Tuesday. Cold Days, just in time for winter. I’ve already pre-ordered my copy. As a treat to myself, in the midst of all this drama, I will read it, probably immediately, and review. I can’t wait.
What’s exciting in your world this week?
I have heard good things about Whip Smart. Good luck with the traveling/move. I love Seattle and hope you are happy there. The Sunday Post

Good luck on your journey, Marlene! Moving is so exciting and so stressful. Life is always interesting, isn’t it?

It’s an adventure! The movers are here right now, packing the house. It’s so strange seeing everything dismantled. This wasn’t our favorite house of all the places we’ve lived, but it did get comfy in 11 months. Now we’re off for another chapter.
And the cats are serious peeved at being locked in the spare bathroom while the ruckus is going on!

It is indeed an adventure! I remember our first move–and our last! I was older and more tired for last, but still and adventure. LOL! Peeved cats! Yikes! LOL
