What's Happening...(03-01-19)

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 I'm having a hard time accepting it's March 1st as I type this but the calendar say so so it must be true!  And it seems like our regularly scheduled March snowstorm is on its way and should arrive Sunday.  According to all the weather reports, we are due to get anywhere for 2-8.  They can't make up their minds so I think if that's the case, we shouldn't get any.


As far as TV, we've managed to get half way through Season 2 of The Oath so the end is near.  I liked Season 1 better but this season is still good.  We also watched "The Possession of Hannah Grace" this week.  As far as possession movies goes, this one took a different angle and I really enjoyed it.  Although it starred one of the "Pretty Little Liars" but I won't hold that against it.  I'm trying to convince Mr. Barb to watch "Bohemian Rhapsody" this weekend.  We're not HUGE Queen fans but do like the occasional song here and there.

The pups are doing well.  Booker T has a small cut on his elbow but I think he had an itch and dug it.  It isn't bad, it just happens to be the elbow Cass mauled a few years back.  We put antibiotic on it.  We've also started him on joint medication because our little boy will be 9 in a few months.  Where has the time gone?  Also, Mr. Barb is having his gall bladder out Wednesday.  He's put it off for years but it has to be done.  I'm sure it will go well but he's a tad anxious about it.  I keep telling him if I can do it, he can.

So this week as usual I want to get some reading done.  Saturday will be kind of full with errands and such but I think Sunday should be low-key.  Here's the books I'd like to focus on for the upcoming week.  

I had a hold come in at the library and while I was there, just had to look at the new release shelf - since it's right by the entrance.  Thus, two more came home with me.  I've been hearing a lot about "Looker" and it's relatively short.  I'm on a good run with thrillers so we'll see.  "Ship of Smoke and Steel" is what I originally went in  for and will be used for one of my challenges.  And I think I saw a blogger I regularly follow raving about "The City in the Middle of the Night" but then again I might be wrong.

And finally I picked up a freebie or two which I think are worth sharing.  As usual, check before you click.  "Dating an Alien Pop Star" was a complete title grab.  Aren't you curious too?  I know it's usually dogs you see but I love all animals so that's why I grabbed "Jubilee The Love Story" when I saw it.  And "Good Intentions" involves paramedics in Memphis and a little horror thrown in.  Don't know if it's fantastical horror or real-life horror.  Great cover though.  

So there you have it.  If you are in the path of storms - snow or rain - stay safe.  And what books and TV will be occupying your time???
