What's Happening...(01/26/19)

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.

This week has been warm and then really cold and then snowy and then sunny.  Welcome to winter WV style!  I had a meeting at our home base on Friday which meant 3 hours total on the road so I was at least grateful I didn't have to drive in the snow or rain.

Gpa was in the hospital for a night.  He was severely dehydrated which means he wasn't taking in enough fluids or took his medication wrong.  I hate to say that I am starting to have concerns about his short-term memory and really don't want him to have to suffer this way.  So far he has more good days than bad so there's that.  Also SU (aka Stupid Uncle) was in town for once so he dealt with it all.  I will be visiting and shopping for Gpa Saturday.

It's pretty much been a "Punisher Season 2" week.  We have only 2 more episodes and I'm typing this Friday even so it's quite possible that by the time you read this we are finished.  I'm really loving it and although I hate Jon Berthal has Shane on "The Walking Dead" I adore him as the Punisher.  "Shameless" also started back up and it's a guilty pleasure so we watched it Sunday.  We also watched "The Passage" but Mr. Barb has declared it "too slow" so from now on we'll probably record it and watch it when we are bored.

Speaking of "The Passage," yes I'm still reading the damn book!  Although I did hit the 500 page mark.  It doesn't look like I'll have it done in January but it better be my first February finish.  This weekend I have two buddy reads to work on.  

I also have a small haul this week.  First up is "Here There Are Monsters" which I featured some time ago on a Can't Wait Wednesday feature.  A YA book called "House of Salt and Sorrow" which mentions a deserted island, ghostly visions and curses.  And finally "You've Been Volunteered."  Although not a genre I read a lot of, I had a blast reading the first book "Class Mom" which I first heard of over on Bark's Book Nonsense. So pretty much a mixed bag.

So how was your week and what did you add to your shelves???
