My Only Post (Probably) About CBWC

 I love seeing all the photos y'all are posting for the Cool Bloggers Walking Club hosted by Elisabeth.  And wanted to join in on the fun but seeing as I get up ridiculously early and get out to walk when it's still pretty much dark, I don't have many photos to share.  But here are a few that I've been able to snap either as the sun is coming up or, on days like today, when I've slept in a bit and got a late start

The best part about getting out so early?
Watching dawn break.

I just happened to look up and caught

Why my walks have been so "crunchy" lately

A perfect specimen

NC Fall in all it's glory.

Seeing as I am still looking for work one would think I'd go out later - but no.  This is something I prefer to get - not "done" with because I do enjoy my walks (even if it is the same route over and over at the local park) - done early enough in the day that I don't feel like my whole day has been wasted or bifurcated.  I go early enough to come home, get showered, dressed and ready for the rest of the day without feeling like I've got a late start.  If I'm lucky, I've walked, showered, dressed, etc. and good to go by 8:30 am.

Now, when the cold comes - and it's coming, I can feel it in my bones without having to look at the calendar, I have a walking pad on standby.  I know it won't be the same as walking outside but I won't have the excuse "it's TOO COLD to walk."  And I'm hoping my recent obsession with audiobooks will offset that.

So even if I'm not posting weekly about CBWC - know that I'm out there walking with you.  But most likely, I'm walking in the dark.

And before you ask, no I'm not uncomfortable walking alone in the wee morning dark.  Shockingly enough, there are plenty of others (regulars I see often) out there stumbling around in the dark that makes it feel quite safe.

Audiobook Review: All Her Little Lies by Becca Day

 First of all...y'all!  I never considered myself as someone who could "do" audiobooks.  I always figured I'd get distracted and quit paying attention.

Then I started taking daily walks.  At first, I would just listen to music; which was fine.  But it did not stop my mind from going into all kinds of areas that I really don't need to go to during these very trying times.

So I finally caved and downloaded the Libby app.  And I can tell you, I was hooked from the first book I listened to while walking.  HOOKED I tell you!  Those walks?  Went by in a flash and I then found myself looking for reasons to drive somewhere more than five minutes away to get another chapter or two in.

And then I hit on All Her Little Lies by Becca Day; a psychological thriller that grabbed my attention from the moment I hit play.

The basic premise of the book is this:  Would you lie to protect the person you love the most?

Even if it involved a murder?  There were several twists in this story - one which jumped out to me almost immediately but there were a couple I didn't see coming at all.

I'm sure you can locate an actual physical copy out there in the wild, if audiobooks aren't your thing (are you sure though?  I thought I was) but if you are looking for something to grab your interest and keep you guessing while you are walking or folding laundry look no further than this book.  It will not disappoint.
