Casual Fridays

You guys. It came late Tuesday afternoon, and I had enough self-restraint to wait until Wednesday morning to open it. 

But then I read that whole dang book.

I was up until 4 AM.

Even though I had to be up for work at 7:45 AM.

Newsflash: I do not bounce back from an all-night reading party like I used to.

Check back for the recap Monday.



These shaggy, dirt-tracking messes got haircuts this week! Don't they look handsome? The groomer put Tennessee Vols bandanas on them this time around. Why a groomer in Winter Haven, FL is putting Tennessee bandanas on their canine clientele is a mystery to me. They're lucky I grew up with a father from the Volunteer State. If those dogs had been wearing Gator bandanas, we'd be looking for a new groomer.


My husband seriously outdid himself with the birthday spoiling this year. Look at these breathtaking books with their classic illustrations! They're gorgeous! I have a big-time crush on my new books, and I am starting to have an actual crisis about creating my book list for 2017. I really don't know how I'm going to do it. I'm trying to keep my list for next year shorter (as in like, 12 books total), but I just want to read ALL THE THINGS! Help.




What's on your agenda for the weekend?

  1. Haha - READ ALL THE THINGS! *sigh* I need to update Harkness. What'd you think of my last one?

    2. Wait a second...is Harkness the sequel to your first book? I'm gonna need a copy.

    3. Don't worry Oakie, you will get a copy as soon as I finish it :) I'm thinking about getting rid of some characters since I apparently have too many - what do you guys think?

    4. Ummm...who would you even get rid of and how?? I feel very invested in all the characters. It's stressing me out that you're even thinking about getting rid of some.

    5. Probably Samion, Destin, Lyra, pretty much all of Aristi's family (or have everyone except for Aristi, Aria & Quella stay home).

  2. The boys are looking good. They are growing up without their uncle and I hate it. I should be there to take them on hikes. I can't wait to get back to the south and be close to home again!

    Also, nice job on the books Cody. I try not to judge a book by it's cover but I gotta say they do look deliciously inviting.

    1. I can't believe you've still never actually met Major!

      It doesn't hurt that they are all tried and true classics, so the pretty covers are just the icing on the cake.

  3. Go Vols!! Great books, Cody. Keep reading it is a wonderful thing.
