#BookishChallenges: Favorite Horror Book by @vegarollins #OctoberBloggerChallenge

This weeks challenge is about Horror Books. For this weeks post I chose The Merciless (The Merciless #1) by Danielle Vega. This is by far one of the best horror books that I have ever read! It kept me guessing on what was going to happen and that ending OMG.  To top it off its a series that I could not put down. However, I still need to read the last book.  Let us know what books you read off of this weeks topic in the comments below and make sure to join us next week!

I am out of the Hospital with @CursedReader

Hey guys if you have been following my social media you know that since Friday I (Jessica) have been in the hospital.  Firday night my heart rate according to my watch dropped to 30. And over the course of an hour of keeping track of my heart rate it was all over the place from the mid 50's to a little over the 100's.  So friends and family had me go to the ER where I was told that I had tachycardia and told that I was lucky to be alive.  

The ER doctor had me admitted and I stayed there until I came home last night.  

On Saturday morning the heart doctor came in and informed me after seeing my test results that the ER doctor jumped the gun and my heart is fine. They still did an echo of my heart as well as kept track of my heart rate for a little over 24 hours. So fingers crossed they didn't miss anything. 

Since then I am now back home and on the med from being in a very ugh hospital bed. God those things are not comfy at all. You don't realize how many muscles you use to get out of bed until you always need help to get up. Trust me it sucked so bad! 

Since this visit and very scary scare we will be making some life changes.  I really don't think that it will affect this site but if anything changes here i'll let you know. 

I hope everyone has a great week!

Life Update with Jessica

Hello readers!  This is Jessica with a very important update. If posts are a little wonky it is because I am not actively trying to get things done like I normally do.  The last few weeks have been hell, to say the least.  My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and has of right this second had one surgery.  We just found out today that this coming Thursday, May 24th she will be going back to The Heart of Florida. To have another surgery because they didn't take out her lymph nodes the first time around.  We also learned that she WILL also be going through chemo which we were hoping to avoid.

We ask that you keep us in your thoughts during this time.  

My mom has always been a fighter and I really do believe that she will pull through.  But I am so full of worry that I just don't know what to do anymore. I will be reading as much as I can just to keep my mind off this situation. I am hoping the books keep me in their world while this is all going on.  

My mom had me set her up a go fund me page to see if she could get help with what her insurance won't cover. Such as gas for appointments, bills since she had to quit Uber, and after all this is done money to help her reconstruct what was taken.  If you would like to check it out you can at the link below.   

I will be posting updates to that fund with pictures and more information as we get it.
