Today’s doodle is simple, yet profound. I call it Connections. We have so many connections. Family, friends, co-workers, grocery store checkers, mail delivery people -how many people do we connect with daily? Sadly, it is less due to Covid.
Think of your connections and create a doodle that expresses that connection.. I hope you will share it with us.
Thanks for reading.

I love to doodle but I go through phases where I don’t doodle for weeks. I’ve decided to challenge myself to a doodle challenge where I create a doodle every day for the month of February. Here is my doodle for February 1, 2022. I call it Feeling Fine.
Come back tomorrow for my next doodle.

I enjoy a well written dual world fantasy novel so I just could not pass up the chance to read Rose Garcia’s Fae Hunted. This is book one of the Fae Bloodlines Legacy duology.
Gabriella is the daughter of a Fae princess and a human witch. Her parents fled the Fae world, Faevenly, after a traumatic event that they would not tell her about. They raised Gabriella as a human but did tell her a little about her Fae and witch backgrounds, but not much.
One day her mother and father were called back to Faevenly to deal with a challenge to the Fae throne. While there, the soul vampire Draven escapes the dungeons and attacks Stronghaven. After the attack, it is discovered that her parents are missing. As the heir apparent, she must travel to Faevenly to try and find her parents, capture or kill Draven, and meet the challenge to her throne.
The author does a great job world building and showing the differences between the human and Fae worlds. The book ends with a cliffhanger that made me want to read the next book NOW!
if you are looking for an escape from the human world, you should give Fae Hunted a try.
I received a review copy of this book through BookSirens in exchange for my honest review.

Since the new year began, I’ve made a goal to post a review every Saturday. This week, I didn’t actually finish any books this week but I came close on this one. I don’t often read autobiographies. For some reason, The Storyteller jumped out at me.
So far, I have really enjoyed the book. Since Dave Grohl is only a few years younger than I am, I experienced the same time period he did growing up. As the last generation of kids that had the chance to play outside, drink water from a garden hose, burnt their legs on a hot metal slide we grew up tough.
When you read this book you will hear the story of a young boy who started guitar lessons but quit them and taught himself. From joining the band Scream at 17 to the death of Nirvana band mate Kurt Cobain and on to his current projects, Grohl tells about the experience without the salaciousness of other rock autobiographies.
I’m 3/4 of the way through the book and when I finish, I will add an update to this post.
People who grew up in the 70s and 80s will most likely appreciate this book.
Thanks for reading.
Ray McMillan loves playing classical music on his great-grandfather’s violin. There have been many obstacles to his pursuit of a professional music career. His mother thinks he is wasting his time and should get a “real job” at a local fast-food restaurant. As a Black Classical musician, he has had to fight racism from the Classical music community as well as the Black community that thinks he shouldn’t be playing Classical music.
