What am I Reading? - Origin by Dan Brown ~ Robert Langdon, Harvard professor of symbology, arrives at the ultramodern Guggenheim Museum Bilbao to attend the unveiling of a discovery that “will change the face of science forever.” The evening’s host is Edmond Kirsch, a forty-year-old billionaire and futurist, and one of Langdon’s first students.

But the meticulously orchestrated evening suddenly erupts into chaos, and Kirsch’s precious discovery teeters on the brink of being lost forever. Facing an imminent threat, Langdon is forced to flee. With him is Ambra Vidal, the elegant museum director who worked with Kirsch. They travel to Barcelona on a perilous quest to locate a cryptic password that will unlock Kirsch’s secret.


Navigating the dark corridors of hidden history and extreme re­ligion, Langdon and Vidal must evade an enemy whose all-knowing power seems to emanate from Spain’s Royal Palace. They uncover clues that ultimately bring them face-to-face with Kirsch’s shocking discovery…and the breathtaking truth that has long eluded us.


What am I Listening to? – Winnie the Pooh ~ Let me explain. I am watching my granddaughter during the day and so we listen to the Winnie the Pooh movies and the show The Book of Pooh. Winnie the Pooh is one of my all time favorites, and this is going to date me, however I am curious if anyone else remembers this – I had a Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh Album when I was a kid and used to listen to it constantly. I realize now, the recording was literally the audio track from the motion picture.


What Quote am I pondering? – Never stop doing your best just because someone doesn’t give you credit. ~unknown



What am I Researching? – I have been researching all things YouTube. Watching YouTube channels, including the amazing Jeffree Star and several book reviewers all in preparation for the launch of my YouTube Channel, Romine’s Reviews! Subscribe here, the first episode will premiere in a few weeks!


Yummy Meal of the Week – Fruit Nachos! So easy to make, cut up apples, bananas, & strawberries. Layer the fruit on a dish, heat up some peanut butter in the microwave and pour it over (looks like caramel) and sprinkle with dark chocolate chips. (Pictured above).


What did I Learn? – I learned about Canva (an online marketing program) and created a plethora of social media posts for my books, Writing Warriors United and Romine’s Reviews. Loads of fun and so easy. Highly recommended. (If I can figure it out so can you!)


What am I Watching? – This week I finally broke down and start watching Game of Thrones (yes, I am aware I am late to the party). I have completed Season One and I am supposed to start watching Season Two with Zack sometime this weekend. Loving it so far!


That is all for this week, my lovelies!
I hope you have an amazing week, and I will talk to you all next Saturday!
