♥ Love Makes the World Go Round ♥
I love Valentine's Day. I especially love it when I can share with little kids who always love everything. This year it's a set of twins whose teacher has asked for mailed Valentines in their study of how the post office works. My niece and nephew will be getting these.
Of course I love the adult version of Valentine's Day, too - much more fun than those little I♥U candy hearts!
But the best thing I love about Valentine's Day is that even the grumpiest people usually spread a little love around the planet. That's a good thing.
Book Nook
I finished reading The Alice Network, the book I raved about here last month. It was awesome. Here's the review I left:
In other book news, Jalapeno Cupcake Wench, the first book in The Amazing Gracie Trilogy, will be on sale for 99 cents from Monday, February 11 through midnight, February 17. Mark your calendars!
My World
In January, I was busy putting the finishing touches on the third Gracie book. Much more on that next month.
I always do a lot of research on all kinds of things. January was no exception. One of the best things I read was a cool article (and watched a YouTube video) by a woman who is a former Chief of Disguise for the CIA. Interesting and informative... and bookmarked!
Some of the other things I researched were the Jaws of Life, the Rocky Mountains, and names. Lotsa, lotsa names.
In Real Life, I fed dogs, played with dogs, haggled with one dog, loved on dogs, and stayed out of the dog house with almost everyone.
Like Punxsutawney Phil, I'm also ready for spring. So done with this winter stuff. How about you?
Gracie and I will be back here on Monday, March 4.

I finished reading The Alice Network, the book I raved about here last month. It was awesome. Here's the review I left:
THE ALICE NETWORK by Kate Quinn is one of the best books I've ever read. Fantastic story, true-to-life characters, and perfect pacing. There's even a character named Finn Kilgore. It doesn't get any better than that! Highly recommend.It took a few days for me to be ready to start a new book. Major book hangover! But I'm now wrapped up in the arms of a new book and so far it's pretty good, too.

Sounds like a fun week with the dogs. :)
recommendation now.
I am longing for autumn. And winter. Recent photos of Chicago have looked very tempting to me.
Elizabeth - Wanna rent a dog? Cheap. It's a good thing he's sweet :)
Liza - I'm still thinking about that book!
H.R. - Trying to make sure I include something like this each month. Not easy for me, so stretching my muscles.
Diane - Gracie has a spa appointment in a few weeks to get ready for the big day... unless Jackson calls.
Murees - I'm always ready for spring and fall to arrive and for summer and winter to be done. Not fond of the extremes our temperatures reach. I love our doggies :)
EC - I have a love/hate relationship with research. Mostly I love it, but when I can't find anything close to what I'm searching for after an hour or two, it makes me want to scream.
Mark - Embrace the pink! :)
Jo-Anne - Yes... even when it's stinky :)
Jan - You have a great February, too. Gracie's getting nervous :)
Natalie - They often make it difficult to be productive. But they're sweet :)
I have mixed feelings... woudn't mind a little more winter before the scorching Texas heat comes back around. I'm also not ready for the springtime allergies.
Looking forward to more Gracie!! :)
We're looking to spring too, but that won't show up for a couple of months yet :P
Looking forward to your next Gracie book. :)
Christine - "Hooked in"... that's funny! I fall down the rabbit hole a lot.
Melissa - I wonder how long it will be before email and texts go the way of postal mail.....
Jemi - Cold is arriving here tomorrow for a few days. Sigh.
Susan - You're welcome. Gracie's bugging me about a lot of stuff now :)
And grats on the third Gracie book!

I have been wanting to read THE ALICE NETWORK. I will definitely have to get to it this year. Loved hearing your thoughts.
