What's Happening on The Farm (01-11-19)

So I'm doing things a tad bit differently this year and will be combining all of my regular weekend posts.  This will enable me to add more content on Fridays and it is just starting to make more sense.  I'll still be linking up with Stacking the Shelves at Tynga's Reviews and Sunday Post at Caffeinated Reviewer.  Both blogs are awesome so make sure you check them out.

So what's up - way too much stress.  I want to apologize to anyone who was offended by any posts or comments on yesterday's buddy read post.  I in no way wanted anyone to get hurt or feel alienated from The Farm and  Maria didn't want that either. We exchanged many messages yesterday over the whole thing.  Once again, sorry Chuckles.   I firmly believe everyone has a right to their opinions and feelings but I don't want people coming here and feeling like they are being attacked, or on the other hand, can't say what they want.  I disabled comments for the time being on yesterday's post.  The buddy read will be continuing but I'm strictly watching all comments.  I love having people visit and comment and I want everyone to feel comfortable and non-judged.  ENOUGH SAID.

So we've watched a few movies this week but nothing stellar and nothing really popular.  Some of our favorite series have returned and I've caught up on Riverdale, which is sooooo out there. Meet the Gargoyle King.  Seriously people, what's up!  And speaking of odd, don't even get me started on "The Masked Singer."  It's like a train wreck where you can't look away!

I have been getting some reading done and am seriously striving to read my 200 pages a week on "The Passage."  Probably even doing so as you are reading this.  We are under a winter weather advisory all day Saturday so I plan on staying put, doing some reading and some gaming.  I feel like I've not read much this month yet so once I hit page 400, here's what's I'm grabbing.

So onto books.  It's been a bad week for books - or good if you like obtaining them.  Depends on how you look at it.  I had 2 reserves to pick up from the library.  I really liked the "Blood & Salt" by Kim Liggett so I asked my library to get a copy of "The Unfortunates."  And I've had "City of Ghosts" on hold FOREVER and it finally came in.  It was allegedly "in processing" for 2 months.  Crazy.  Also, why do I see three hands when I look at the Liggett book. I think I'm losing it guys.

Some review copies also came through from Netgalley.  I'm excited about them all and once you see the covers you'll know why.  I needed some doggy loving in my life so I'm thrilled to now have copies of "Please Don't Feed the Mayor," "Death by Dog Show," which is the start of a new series, and "The Accidental Veterinarian" sounds like a good non-fiction.  Booker T and Cass definitely approve of this haul.

And finally, I'm always grabbing freebies so each week I want to start sharing one or two that I think are standouts.  Before you grab, check the price though because we all know how long some freebies last.  This week I grabbed "Dead Eye" when I saw it because it's been on my wishlist for a while. I'm getting real Sookie Stackhouse vibes from it though.

So that's all for this week.  Hope everyone else is having a wonderful week.  What did you add to your shelves this week?
