Ready, Set, Jet!

Hello!
I hope you are well and enjoying December. I have a really quick book review today. Recently I read A Dead Djinn in Cairo: (Dead Djinn Universe) the Kindle Edition and think that you will like it to. Its a very quick read at only 47 pages but very well written. It is part of a larger series set in 1912 Egypt in a steampunk world filled with magic, mystery and mayhem. See a clockworks is about to destroy the earth...
I think it's a prefect read on a cold afternoon, plus right now Amazon has the Kindle version on for only $1.99 so grab a cup of tea, get comfy and dive in!
MY QUICK REVIEW: ​Overall very good short story that drives you to read more, even if steampunk isn't your thing. Very good world building and a well balanced magical story with interesting characters, fun steampunk devices and just enough of the old Egyptian mysteries thrown to make for a very good tale.
The first book in the Dead Djinn Universe, I stumbled on A Master of Djinn and began reading over the Thanksgiving break, but saw this short (47 page) story as a prelude and decided to move to it. It is set in the Steampunk Universe of 1912, filled with magic and mystery. If you are looking for a short, entertaining read begin with this one and then you will be glad there are more books in the series. THE AUTHOR: Phenderson Djéli Clark is a prolific award-winning author. He was also nominated for the Hugo, Nebula, and Sturgeon for his novellas Ring Shout, The Black God’s Drums and The Haunting of Tram Car 015. Which I am adding to my TBR list. My Last Minute Thoughts:
Happy Wednesday ~
I hope you are well and staying out of the Thanksgiving madness. I'm still traveling/working and I just wanted to share something really quick with you. I'm staying at a holiday house and some of the furnishings impressed me enough to look them up! I was even more impressed when I found out they were affordable! That never happened, especially now. One of my best finds is about to be my "go to" holiday hostess/unexpected drop-in gifts of this super luxuriously and soft blanket. The picture look meh, but it is really soft and I was glad to see it washed/dried and still looks brand new. It will make a thoughtful and useful gift rather than another knick knack that no one actually wants. It's a great Amazon find right now and I'm buying as gifts especially - at this price.
I will be sharing some of the other cool stuff here in later posts and of course in videos. You do follow me on Youtube, right? If not, run over there now--I'm uploading all kinds of recipes, travel, nature and relaxing videos. Watch them here.
Also run, don't walk over and grab that blanket now before all the pretty ones sell out. *Please note this is an affiliate ad, and I do make a small amount if you purchase from this link. It does not affect your cost and it helps keep this blog going. Hey and Happy Sunday! I've been talking about my adventures in the State Park...

I hope you are well and enjoying the change of season, no matter where you are in the world. The last week of September I tried to squeeze as much fun as possible out of my busy schedule. We have so many projects going on, but all I really wanted to do was spend time outside and soak up the sunshine. The weather is finally beginning to break and the oppressive heat is letting up (some), so I took a day trip to a nearby park and played in the light. I really needed this break and immensely enjoyed myself! Often just a few hours away can really reset your energy and outlook on life. Check out this short video of the trip below... Do you have a special place you go for an energy reset? If so let me know below.
Have a great week~ |
