Teaser Tuesdays (Sept 6th)

Composed by Cat

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
  • Grab your current read
  • Open to a random page
  • Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
  • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
  • Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
"The man's face, if one could call it that, was grotesquely deformed. The skin was a mass of twisted gray tissue, with no discernible nose, eyebrows, or ears, and his mouth, partially open to reveal pointed white teeth, was no more than a slit. But it was the eyes that froze Phil in place."~Hybrid by Brian O'Grady

Now it your turn. PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Teaser Tuesdays post, or share your two ‘teasers’ in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks! :D

MIA: Illness and blogging

Composed by Cat

I've been MIA for a straight month now. While I'm sure I've not been missed I hate that I let the blog itself down. So why the silence for so long? For the month of July, I struggled with steep and tiredness and a sinus infection and just a basic sense of getting old and being mentally whiny. At the end of July I couldn't shake the complete exhaustion and sickness. A final trip to the doctor, a ton of blood work, and a week later I found out I had mono. I experienced body pains, digestive issues, and the total and complete exhaustion of every cell in my body.

You would think with a month off of nothing but bed rest I would have gotten tons of things done but mono aka The Kissing Disease, has a life of it's own. I found myself having to take a nap after a shower. I ate many of my meals from a straw and I couldn't concentrate on anything that wasn't on mt Netflix queque.

I'm happy to say I'm recovering. Coming back to the land of the living. I even dug out a stack of books from my TBR list and starting in on them. I've taken something from all this as far as this blog is concerned. We all need to have back up content. Something for those few who are loyal readers to have to read and reflect on. In the coming weeks I'll be working on such a back plan. Something to fill the voids of unplanned absences. I'll also be working on regular content. Something worth reading. I love my blogging world and the friends within it. I love being able to express myself, my views, and sharing books and thoughts.

Thank you to those who have checked up on me. For everyone else I wish happy and safe Labor Day weekend.

HAPPY READING!!!
