Quarantine Life and a Linky

These last few weeks I've been sharing photos of what our days are like in quarantine. South Africa has been on lockdown just over a month. We're not even allowed to take our dogs for a walk. We've been blessed to have a big house with WiFi, a beautiful garden, and a lovely pool. It's been a little too cool for swimming, as we're in Autumn now, but it's still a nice place to hang out with the dogs. How has quarantine life been treating you?

Easter and High Tea with a Linky

We've been on lockdown since March 26, so Easter was a very simple affair. Hubby is the only one to leave the house for necessary groceries, so he made sure we had Easter chocolates. He hid a few chocolate bunnies around the house for Amanda. He even decorated the table! Isn't he a real sweetie?

So, the other day he came home with dragon fruit that was reduced to clear. I never worked with dragon fruit before. All you have to do is slice it through and the skin peels away easily with your fingers, no knife skills required. It doesn't have much flavor, but it is a superfood, so you can always blitz it with other fruit to make a smoothie.

The girls and I have been enjoying cooking and baking during lockdown. The other day, Amanda decided she wanted to put on a high tea for all of us. She prepared dragon fruit and gooseberries, Brazilian kisses (condensed milk truffles), no bake oatmeal cookies, cheese sandwiches, and cucumber slices. Samantha picked flowers from the garden to decorate the table. Everything was scrumptious!

Happy Easter! 🐣 We have been in lockdown since March 26 and it has been extended until the end of April. Hubby bought the chocolates on his last grocery run and hid them until late last night when he decorated the table. We knew he was buying Easter chocolates, because he asked each of us what we wanted. He's a real sweetie. Wishing you a blessed and safe Sunday. Photos taken with my phone and uploaded without any filters. P.S. The cat is not for eating! 😺 #goodmorning #easter #sunday #kitty #cat #catsofinstagram #catsoninstagram #chocolate #bunny #SouthAfrica #lockdown #stayhome #samsung #galaxy #camera #phone #nofilter #nofilterneeded

Death Warden Giveaway!

Death Warden

Free E-book until November 14!

Death Warden

A teenage assassin. An impossible choice. The fate of everything hangs in the balance.

Sixteen-year-old Reen swore she’d never take another life. Divinely selected to assassinate a few in order to save many, she learned to jump from shadow to shadow and claim her victims without question… until she was ordered to kill the boy she loved. But when an ancient plague returns threatening to infect everyone she knows, she is forced to resume her deadly duties.

Battling a disease that turns people into nightmarish monsters, Reen must track down and terminate those responsible before the city falls and the evil spreads beyond its borders. But the closer she gets to the source, the more she uncovers sinister secrets that will shake the foundations of her world and everything she believes.

Can Reen defend her realm without losing her soul?

Death Warden is an exhilarating YA fantasy. If you like strong heroines, compelling magic, and dark secrets, then you’ll love C.J. Stilling’s imaginative tale.

Free E-book until November 14!

IFA Summer Reading Challenge

IFA Summer Reading Challenge 2019
June 21 to September 22

June 21, the first day of summer marks the first day of the Summer Reading Challenge in the Indie Fantasy Addicts Facebook group. Read ANY indie fantasy, and subgenre of fantasy (ARCs, audiobooks, and shorts included) and have a chance at winning some amazing prizes such as signed books, ebooks, audiobooks, and swag from some Amazon Bestselling and USA Today Bestselling authors! All readers have to do is post about their reads in the group and tag them with #IFASummerChallenge19.

Details about our current Summer Reading Challenge are listed at the bottom of this blog post. The goal? For members to discover more nail-biting, edge of your seat, take-you-for-a-wild-ride-and-leave-you-breathless books!

Here are some of the authors who graciously donated signed copies and ebooks to this challenge (many of them being USA Today and Amazon bestselling authors): ML Spencer, JT Williams, Mike Shelton, JA Andrews and tons more.

#IFASummerChallenge19 Details:

The purpose of this is just to have fun and discover more amazing indie fantasy authors! We are going to make this simple. There is no set reading list. ARCS and audiobooks also apply. Read whatever you want as long as it’s indie fantasy. If you're not sure if it's indie, just ask in the group and someone will let you know.

All you have to do is post what you're reading, tag it with #IFASummerChallenge19, and your thoughts on the book (without spoilers!) so the rest of us can discover more amazing adventures!

The Challenge will go from June 21 to September 22, 2019—the last day of summer! For the solo challenge (everyone is included in this regardless if you’re on a team or not), we will be doing a tiered winning system since not all readers read at the same rate. Eg. A tier for the winner for whoever reads the most indie fantasy books, and a few other tiers. eg. 20+, 16-20, 11-15, 5-9. 0-4.

Draws will be done to choose winners from the two lower tiers.

Grand Prize: Multiple signed books and swag

The other tiers will have chances to win a signed book, ebook, audiobook, swag, etc.

TEAMS: There will also be prizes awarded to the winning team, the team with the best team spirit, the team who listened to the most audiobooks, etc.

Let the adventures begin!!

Botanical Garden and Tortoise with a Linky

A couple of weeks ago, I began a new series. The first post was called Botanical Garden and Home. We live in South Africa where the seasons are opposite to those in the Northern Hemisphere. At the beginning of our spring, the flowers were all in bloom, but with summer nearing, most of the vibrant colors are already gone. I'm glad I got to take pics when I did! Enjoy!
