Scripture and a Snapshot - Establish the Work of Our Hands

This post may contain affiliate links.

So teach us to number our days
that we may get a heart of wisdom.
Return, O LORD! How long?
Have pity on your servants!
Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love,
that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
and for as many years as we have seen evil.
Let your work be shown to your servants,
and your glorious power to their children.
Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us,
and establish the work of our hands upon us;
yes, establish the work of our hands.
~Psalm 90:12-17~

Book Blogger Hop - November 6, 2015

This post may contain affiliate links. 

Once again, I've been neglecting the Book Blogger Hop questions of the week from Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer. Usually it's just because I'm too busy with other things, and totally miss it! Since I haven't posted any reviews this week, I thought I'd better do something to make sure my blog was updated a bit! We'll see what happens next week!

As you are reading a book, do you take notes for your reviews, write your reviews as you read, or something totally different? 

I rarely take notes for reviews while reading fiction, but when I read non-fiction for a review, I jot down notes on a piece of notepaper, and use that as my bookmark.

Teaser Tuesdays - Regency Buck

This post may contain affiliate links. 

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by Jenn at A Daily Rhythm. To play along, just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page
• Be careful not to include spoilers!
• Share the title and author, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR lists if they like your teasers!

'Mercy on us! You hold Mr Brummell by your side for half an hour and then ask me what it can signify?'

Judith gave a gasp, and turned pale. 'Ma'am! Oh, good God, ma'am, that surely was not Mr Brummell?'

'Not Mr Brummell Of course it was! But, my dearest love, I particularly warned you! What have you been about?'

For the LORD gives wisdom;

In Paris, our lives are one masked ball; and the foyer of the ballet is the last place in which two men so "knowing" as M. Debienne and M. Poligny would have made the mistake of betraying their grief, however genuine it might be. And they were already smiling rather too broadly upon Sorelli, who had begun to recite her speech, when an exclamation from that little madcap of a Jammes broke the smile of the managers so brutally that the expression of distress and dismay that lay beneath it became apparent to all eyes:

"The Opera ghost!"
