Happy Saturday to all!! Hope the week has treated everybody right. Here are the latest of my acquisitions:
You can see what my thoughts on Alight by Scott Sigler and I've already finished Hexed and will be giving my thoughts on that very soon!
As for The City by Dean Koonts and Please Don't Tell My Mother I'm a Super Villain by Richard Roberts, I look forward to digging right into them. They seem a bit different than my usual choices.
Unfortunately, my family had a some bad news recently. My wife's father succumbed to Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS) after a more than 20 year battle with the disease. He had built a special relationship with our puppy and she was able to say "Goodbye" to him as he was taken from his home where he spent his final moments. For any who wish to give to battle this disease, please, visit the MDA ALS Website.
So, tell me, what bits of brightness have you brought into your life to gladden a sorrowed heart?

I'm so sorry to hear about your wife's father, I send my condolences. For me, books are the best solace - going back to an old favourite where you already know the story so it doesn't require much concentration but can still give you a little respite from the grief. I have a post on my blog about books that I would recommend to help through grieving if you want to take a look at that, but often in the initial period of grief you just need familiar things that are comforting to you.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss, I hope as a family you pull through and find solace in each other.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry for your loss. It is incredibly hard to move on after such a loss. Take care of yourself and each other. Your family is in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your wife's father. I hope you and your family will find peace.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your family's loss. ALS is a very difficult thing to live with. I hope your father-in-law can finally be at peace now.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your family's loss, Robert. I hope you have many fond memories to cherish.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for your family's loss. It's never easy to say goodbye to a family members. Just take it one day at a time and remember all the wonderful memories. I hope you have a peaceful weekend. Wishing your family the best.

Hexed looks really good. I'll have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about your loss. That picture is heart-wrenching. Wishing you and your family all the best.
So sorry about your family's loss.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your books...and for hosting here. The Dean Koontz book looks tempting.
I used to love Koontz's books. I should try one of his newer ones.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for your loss. We just took in a dog that belonged to a very good friend of ours that passed away. I'm glad your puppy had a chance to say goodbye because they need closure too.

So sorry to hear of your loss. It seems we never really get familiar with these diseases until they strike our family members. I've learned a bit about colon cancer over the years as both my grandparents died from it. The oddest part was how quickly it seemed to come about. It's never easy to lose family. You have my deepest sympathies. And I'm practically in tears seeing the puppy sad! :(
ReplyDeleteNice new reads though! Those are totally new to me! Hope you enjoy the remaining ones!
My STS will be up tomorrow, so stop by then if you can!
Have a GREAT day!

Thank you all for your kind words. My family and I appreciate it very much. I'm always amazed at the response from the Sci-Fi/Paranormal community.
ReplyDeleteSorry for your loss. :-(
ReplyDeleteMy e-galley of Alight expired before I could finish it, so I'll have to get ahold of a copy of it now.
My condolences to you and your family on the passing of your father-in-law. It's great that your puppy could be there for him at the end.
ReplyDeleteI'm very sorry to hear about your father-in-law. It's good that the puppy was able to say goodbye, it's tough on pets to understand what's happening.
ReplyDeleteDean Koontz is one of my favourite authors! I haven't read The City yet but I enjoy his other books, they're all very different but good reads (imo) :)
