A Special Tribute to My Stepbrother and a Linky

Amanda, Jeremiah, and Jessica with their Grandma and Grandpa.
Samantha was at university and only joined us later in the week.

My dad, stepmom and stepbrother flew out to Cape Town 2 weeks ago to visit us and to celebrate my dad's 70th. The neat thing was that my stepbrother's birthday was the same day, so we had a double celebration! It was also our first time meeting him. I ordered the birthday cake, which was enjoyed by all, and my stepbrother brought the Hennessy, which was enjoyed by the men.

No words can express how awful we are feeling after receiving the shocking news that my stepbrother passed away this morning! Our prayers are with his loved ones at the time.

Today's Sock Sunday feature is Dragon Tide: Dragon Staff ~ the second episode of a brand new series by USA Today bestselling author Sarah K.L. Wilson. I'm reviewing an ARC. Princess Seleska finds herself in a lot of danger and discovers new allies. Her little water dragon, Nasataa, is always by her side and growing quickly. We learn a bit about Seleska's and Nasataa's destinies. It's not what you would expect. We get to see more of her love interest, the blacksmith apprentice named Heron, too. I'm halfway through and enjoying it! #socksunday #whatimreading #weekend #reading #fantasy #youngadult #fiction #adventure #bookreview @sarahklwilson
