It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (October 15): 10/15/18
I finished the burrowing owl painting. In the end all it needed were some sky blue outlines here and there.
Now I'm working on a new portrait of Reggie the turkey. He lives at nearby Sulphur Creek, a wild animal rescue center. My original portrait I sold to the library. It was the one painting that everyone was sad to see go. Readingwise I had a good week. I had some library books due and got them read. I'm also now entering the third week of the Cybils. The public nominations are ending. So far there have been ninety-three nominations (and I've read nine of them). The remainder of the month will be publisher nominations and our list of books could grow by another fifty or so. I won't list every single nominee that I look at, only those that I read cover to cover. As a first round reader, I'm not required to read every book word for word, just enough to get a sense of whether or not it needs to go to the next round. What I read:

Thanks for stopping by! Happy reading! Comment #2: Monday, October 15, 2018 at 22:18:00 Pussreboots It was thankfully an uninhabited area. But grass burns fast and the winds carried the smoke everywhere. Comment #4: Monday, October 15, 2018 at 22:21:00 Pussreboots Thank you. Comment #5: Monday, October 15, 2018 at 10:36:48 Black Cats and Evil Eyes looks good! I love books like that. I love your paintings! :) Congrats on selling one! :) Comment #6: Monday, October 15, 2018 at 22:23:00 Pussreboots Thank you, re the paintings. The ones I'm painting now aren't for sale. They are for my family and are replacements for a set I did sell. THe sales process took longer than we expected and we got attached to the old set. With them gone to their intended home, I have the freedom to start anew. Black Cats and Evil Eyes wasn't what I was looking for. Comment #7: Monday, October 15, 2018 at 10:55:57 Your paintings are always so impressive, you've got a lot of talent. Looks like you had a great reading week, too. Comment #8: Monday, October 15, 2018 at 22:27:00 Pussreboots Thank you. It was a good week for reading. I hope this week is as well. Comment #9: Monday, October, 15, 2018 at 11:54:17 Kathy Martin Most of your books are new to me this week. I hope you are enjoying the Cybils you are reading. Come see my week here. Happy reading! Comment #10: Monday, October 15, 2018 at 22:32:00 Pussreboots Cybils is fun. There are some excellent books. There are some that aren't but the process is still worth the effort. Comment #11: Monday, October, 15, 2018 at 14:39:37 I love your paintings and so happy you are sharing them here. I have read a few of the earlier Amulet books so I see its still going well. Comment #12: Monday, October 15, 2018 at 22:34:00 Pussreboots Thank you. I'm pleased you enjoy my paintings. They're fun to do. After this Amulet book, there is one more. Things are wrapping up. Comment #13: Monday, October 15, 2018 at 18:52:16 I always love reading through your lists! I'm really interested in Marcus Vega Doesn't Speak Spanish and hope to get to it soon! Comment #14: Monday, October 15, 2018 at 22:37:00 Pussreboots Marcus Vega Doesn't Speak Spanish is a quick and delightful read. Comment #15: Monday, October 15, 2018 at 19:17:46 Laura @ Library of Clean Reads I like your paintings. You are talented. You've read an eclectic mix of books. I'm curious about Pride. Have a great reading week! Comment #16: Monday, October 15, 2018 at 22:40:00 Pussreboots Pride is a modern day retelling of Pride and Prejudice, set in Brooklyn. I loved it. I hope you get it a read. Comment #17: Monday, October 15, 2018 at 19:52:38 I will be curious to see how you like Benefits Of Being an Octopus. I thought it was excellent. Comment #18: Monday, October 15, 2018 at 22:42:00 Pussreboots I'll post a review when I'm done. Comment #19: Monday, October 15, 2018 at 20:30:43 I love your birds! I’m a second round Cybils judge, so I’m eagerly waiting to see what gets passed along to me. Comment #20: Monday, October 15, 2018 at 22:44:00 Pussreboots We will strive to hand you the best list possible! Comment #21: Monday, October 15, 2018 at 22:33:38 Hope your reads are good this week!Love the look of Sherlock Holmes Snakebite. Comment #22: Monday, October 15, 2018 at 22:47:00 Pussreboots Snakebite was a quick read but not as fun as previous books. Comment #23: Monday, October 15, 2018 at 23:30:00 Wow-- I hope you write a review for Pride. I'm on the fence whether to read it. What an excellent reading week. Comment #24: Monday, October 15, 2018 at 22:51:00 Pussreboots I'm planning on reviewing Pride near the end of the month.
