While the Wildone is away, you get Cia to play. Okay, so I'm totally not playing. Saturday was my day of getting stuff DONE. Chores, laundry, errands, kidult stuff, the hubby took his dad to a funeral 2 hours away and had my car, it's fall so I made homemade chicken pot pie and then there was a SPIDER on the CEILING and my son told me to get it. I almost had to kill him. It. I mean it. The spider. Then he did it like a good son who is NOT afraid of his mother. 😇 Sunday is for fun though. My daughter, also a kidult, invited me as a guest adult pass to the zoo since it's not supposed to rain. Will it be crazy with kids? Yes! But I don't have to tell any of them to walk, not run, and the weather is cool so more animals are out. What's your favorite animal? (FYI, Check out tomorrow's CSR blog to see if that was a question I asked andy cannon) Now let's see what other blogs you should have checked out (hint, it was lots of me!)

Monday I featured Stellar's story Hidden Sunlight. Huge hit with scifi fans. 

Tuesday Myr did a Deep Dive into Horror *shivers*

Not sure if you like scifi? Check out Wednesday's excerpt blog for Hidden Sunlight. 

Thursday Valkyrie whispered the Anthology deadline is creaking up on you and asked for feedback on blog features! Comment there! 

Friday, well... what twisted little tidbit did you try? 

Myr's Words of the Day were in alignment with the twisted theme, I think. Did you try saying any of them 5 times fast? I dare you! Double dare....
