Saturday Puzzles: A Word Find for The Mercy of Gods by James S A Corey

 Yikes! Late on a puzzle.  Sorry about that.  Word Finds are the next puzzle type in the rotation, and they will be based on a recently read book.  This one is from the new series opener The Mercy of Gods, #1 in the Captive's War Series.  A fascinating and chilling book.

Saturday Puzzles: Fallen Phrase Puzzle Answer for the 9 14 24 Fallen Phrase

I used to do my puzzles from the First Lines of books, but oddly, I was getting to a point where I couldn't recall if I'd already used a book for a puzzle or not.  We now have all quotations from various sources for the puzzles.  

The Answer Key provided is a bit light.  It saves me trying to create and type in the answers in Word, though!

Here is the answer:

Instill the love of you into all the world for a good character is what is remembered.

 Here’s the usual mix of nostalgia and upcoming holiday magic you’re craving.

One: Good thing we don’t overindulge our children anymore.

Two:  Here’s another pretty Christmas display idea.

 Yikes it’s almost half way through September and my goals for this month have gone kablooie.  Life intrudes on our list making, does it not?  

One: Christmas makes another appearance or two because it’s just so pretty.  You asked for another decorated trunk (secretly) and here it is. Imagine some silly person putting a Barbie in this instead.

Two: I have a fondness for china cabinets, particularly adorable smaller ones crammed full of collectibles.

Three: To give equal time to Halloween, blogger Repeat Crafter Me uses new Glowing Red Heart Yarn for spooky little ghosts.

Four: More Halloween!  My husband is now a fan of the huge variety bags of Halloween candy from Costco after years of buying 14 or so bags of snack sized candies.  He has the kids grab as much as they can hold in one hand so he needs quite a bit.

Five: This isn’t quite the ideal room but it’s close.  The book cases, so cozy, I love the padded end table which you could use as a footstool to unwind.  The couch could be more nappable.

Saturday Puzzles: Rebus Time

 For September at least, I'm bringing back my ever popular puzzles. There's a different type each week.  New Puzzles are out on Saturday mornings at 5:00 am, answers are at 7 pm Saturday nights the following week.  The answer for this one is scheduled for the evening of September 14. Enjoy!

 Perhaps your timelines and newsfeeds are filled with Halloween lately.  The Christmas people are gearing up, though so expect more of that here.

One:  Old suitcases are in fashion now, usually in an appealing stack.  It’s fun to see them used for vignettes such as this too.

Two: On a Scale of Cat, tonight I’m a four. How is your day going?

Three:  Conspiracy theorists, unite!

Four:  They are never getting all of that in the fridge.

Five:  You shouldn’t leave them, you know you shouldn’t.
