What's Happening...(02-23-19)

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.

The weather is still nuts.  We've had rain, sleet, ice, snow, sun and almost 60 degree temps, all within 7 days.  I'm ready for Spring but I want MY definition of Spring - not Mother Nature's.  At this point it's hard to tell what we will get.  

Still not a lot of movies out I've been wanting to watch.  I'd kind of like to see "A Star is Born" but Mr. Barb has absolutely no interest so it will have to happen on an evening he is working or when he is at the gym.  With both of us working, we spend so little time together I hate to go to the other room to watch something when we are home together.  We did start watching a new series and I have to admit, it has filled a void "The Shield" left years ago.  It's called "The Oath" and it's on Sony/Crackle.  It stars Ryan Kwanten and Season One had Sean Bean and it focuses on police gangs.  I always liked Ryan as Jason on True Blood so it's nice to see him in something else.  

I've read some good books this past week and even got some reviewed.  It's like once "The Passahe was finished, I was on a roll.  Look for reviews of "No Exit" and "A Dog Called Jack" soon. Here are the next three books on the TBR stack. As you can tell, I'm kind of in a horror mood.

I did receive a few books for review this week.  Of course you see a dog on "Swimming for Sunlight."  I've read an Allie Larkin book before and really liked how she incorporated our 4-legged pals into her tale.  I've been meaning to grab "The Dinner" from the library, or at least see the movie version, so I'm thrilled to have the author's next work, "The Ditch."  And I featured "The Homecoming" on a Can't Wait Wednesday feature a few weeks back so I was VERY happy to receive an approval on this one.  

And finally, I had to grab a copy of "Antarctic Ice Beasts" from Hunter Shea.  Stormi and I are planning a special Double Buddy Read of Shea's newest books in May so stay tuned for that.  I think he's our most read author when it comes to our buddy reads.

So what have you guys been up to this week and what books have you added???
