So for the sake of time, you all are getting one combo post for me but that's okay, I think it will work out fine. Things here at The Farm have been hot. We're have unseasonable temperatures all week but there is a cool down anticipated this weekend. I don't want winter but I am ready for fall. Booker T and Cass are doing well and have been gracing Instagram with their mugs so make sure you following if you want more pup pics (although there will still be plenty here on the blog).
We managed to watch three movies in the past week or so. First up was "Final Score" which was really enjoyable and is about someone trying to blow up a huge soccer arena. Next up was "Jurassic World" which was exactly what I expected from the franchise. It was really good but I have to admit I was teary-eyed in one part. For anyone who has seen it...the poor dino watching the boats leave. STILL makes me sad. And finally we watched "Mandy," a new horror movie with Nicholas Cage. Strange is an understatement and I don't think I really enjoyed it that much.
I am hoping to finish my current read tonight - "Providence." I am really enjoying it and have only about 25% left. After that, I will be switching it up between a science fiction novel and a historical mystery.
Stacking the Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves or TBR piles, may it be physical or virtual. This means you cans you cam include books you buy in a physical store, online, books you borrow from the library or friends, review books, gifts and of course, ebooks! The original meme was started over at Tynga's Reviews. And it now has a new co-host where individuals can link up as well - Marlene from Reading Reality. Clicking on the book (or title) should take you to the Goodreads page. I'm also now linking up with the Sunday Post which is hosted by Kimberly@Caffeinated Book Reviewer.
I was lucky enough to win a gift certificate from La La in the Library during Dog Days of Summer so I bought "A Borrowing of Bones" which was just released this month.
And of course I had to drop off a book at the library and another hold was in - "Campfire." Plus they had just received a new Bentley Little book - "The Handyman."
So what did you add to your shelves this week???
My dad and I both want to see Final Score and I still haven't seen the new Jurassic film. My dad watched Rampage last week and loved it. I haven't watched any of the shark films I planned which is annoying but hope to fit in a few this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI loved Rampage a lot. Of course I had to know what happened to George before I watched it.
DeleteSometimes it's nice to watch a movie and get exactly what you expect. I need to catch up with Jurassic World!
ReplyDeleteI thought it was pretty good. Although I wonder if there will be a new one with the way this one ended.
DeleteI love all the Jurassic Park and World movies but the Jurassic World 2 wasn't as good as the others I thought. Still enjoyable though and my little brother loved it!
ReplyDeleteMy STS post
Happy Reading! ♥
I don't expect a lot when I watch them other than special effects and action. They are pretty good at delivering that.
DeleteEnjoy your books! Thanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by The Farm as well!
DeleteGlad it's cooling down some! It has been here too finally. I need to see Jurassic World- maybe this weekend?
ReplyDeleteHope you got a chance to watch it!
DeleteOooh! Great haul!
ReplyDeleteThanks Erica.
DeleteCampfire was one that caught my eye, but I haven't picked it up yet because of the mixed reviews. Maybe I should check if my library has it too!
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
I just got my review posted. It had its ups and downs but considering it was a library book, I was out nothing and it was at least entertaining.
DeleteI want to see Nicholas Cage in his new movie. I heard he did a good job. It's been super hot here and the pool is delicious! Enjoy those great looking books. I;m reading a bunch of horror for October reviews.
ReplyDeleteEven though I didn't love the movie, I can say he did do a great job with it. It was just strange!
DeleteI totally just discovered a Borrowing of Bones too -- and immediately loved the name Susie Bear lol I'm curious how that one all comes together.
ReplyDeleteSusie Bear is a great name - can't wait to meet her!
DeleteI want to watch Jurrasic World too but I am not able to till now.
ReplyDeleteAll the books are new to me but I hope you enjoy them.
Have a lovely week and happy reading!
My wrap-up: https://flippingthruthepages.com/2018/09/weekly-wrap-up-2/
Thanks!
DeleteI don't like winter either. I do like fall, though. Enjoy your books and movies. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks Yvonne. Fall is the best season in my opinion!
DeleteOh Campfire looks so amazing and perfect for the upcoming holiday.
ReplyDeleteCheck out what I got this week - Ashley @ Oh Hey! Books.
It was a fun read. Great if you like slasher films and the campfire tales were a great addition too.
DeleteWe went from oppressively hot to too chilly. I have had to keep my windows shut already and I hate doing that before mid-October. I am a fresh air kind of girl. Ha ha. 🍁
ReplyDeleteI am glad everyone on the doggie front is doing well. 🐕
Enjoy your new books. 📚✨
Have a wonderful week. 🌞
Sometimes it seems like we never get any in between. It's either HOT or COLD. I miss Spring and Fall!
DeleteWe've had rain the last two weeks (on and off), so it's mostly felt humid and uncomfortable. However, last night it was 68 degrees and I wanted to open all the windows! I love fall and cannot wait for those brisk winds and warm clothes!
ReplyDeleteLindsi @ Do You Dog-ear?
We're supposed to get a lot of rain here this week. Guess it's that time of year.
DeleteI'm so with you on being ready for fall but not winter (and you're right, we are pretty close :) ). Jurassic World II wasn't great, although it was what I was expecting, too. The left behind dino was super sad, though. Campfire looks fun. I kind of hate that cover, but I'll definitely check it out. Lol. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI know, that dino made me sad. Almost stopped watching. Campfire was a fun read. I finished it yesterday.
DeleteI hope the weekend did bring you cooler weather. We've been glad to open the windows in the evenings now--but the air conditioner is still running during the day. The Jurassic movies are fun, aren't they? I felt so bad for the dinosaurs in Jurassic World. I am glad to hear you are enjoying Providence. I hope you enjoy your new books, Barb! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteOur AC is still in the windows as well, and probably will be until the end of October. Seems the minute we take them out, it gets hot again so we just wait now.
DeleteI need to find some good horror movies to watch this fall. I haven’t been keeping up with what’s been coming out.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I really liked Winchester and Down a Long Dark Hall. The First Purge was good too if you like that kind of movie.
DeleteWhat is their instagram account! I want to follow with the Parsons Pets! :)
ReplyDeleteI am so in the mood for some good scary stuff, I love October! I am so done with heat! :)
Have a great week, Barb! Happy Reading!
I am so ready for scary. I see you already found the account and I made sure to add you this morning too!
DeleteI don't want it to get cold but I wouldn't mind some cooler weather. It has been so hot. Nicholas Cage has some really bad movies. Some good ones but some stinkers. Hope you have a great week and enjoy your new reads!
ReplyDeleteYes, I find his movies are either really good or really bad. But I have to admit - he keeps busy!
DeleteI've heard fantastic things about that Sherry Thomas series! And that reminds me, I need to pick up Jurassic World from redbox tomorrow. lol
ReplyDeleteIt is an awesome series. I think you'll like it!
DeleteOooh! Lots of awesome books you got here! I need to read Campfire!! Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my Sunday Post!
Ronyell @ Rabbit Ears Book Blog
It was a pretty decent read.
DeleteYay! I'm so glad the pups are doing well. I'm SO ready for fall, too. We're getting a small bit of it this week and it's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI know. I like nice calm showers. Not storms or downpours.
DeleteJurassic World just came to on demand, so that is on my watch list. Glad to hear I'm going to love it. And Nicholas Cage, I losherry @ fundinmental Sunday Memesve his weird movies. lol
ReplyDeleteYea that's how we catch most of our movies. I like some of Cages stuff and I really don't think he gets enough praise sometimes. I hope you watch Mandy and then you can tell me what you think.
DeleteI did what Jurassic World and I know exactly what you mean about that scene. Happy reading this week.
ReplyDeleteLynn :D
I know. It was absolutely heartbreaking.
DeleteI am interested to see Mandy with Nicholas Cage. I have loved a lot of his movies and haven't heard of Mandy before. I haven't seen JW yet so I guess I am going to be teary when I see it.
ReplyDeleteMary
Yes, prepare to cry!
