What's Happening...(03-30-19)

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 haven't ran away from home yet and it's looking like I might not have to use that option - although thanks to some of my followers who invited me to hide out with them.  Mr. Barb's shoulder seems to be healing.  Now don't get me wrong.  It's not healing as fast as he would like, but it is getting some better which means he's not as annoying (love ya babe).  

However, poor Booker T was under the weather earlier this week.  We've been noticing he's a little slower the past few weeks but it came to a head Monday and he was clearly in pain.  I don't know if he pulled something or what.  A quick call to our vet and they had us some meds to pick up which thank heavens are working.  Now he thinks he's super pup.  The downside though is that he may have to stay on them but if it's what he needs then it will be done.  He's our baby after all (well, one of them).

It seems like I spent all week trying to read "In the Valley of the Sun."  I'm not in a slump but I think I'm overwhelmed with good book options.  I have three on the go right now.  I am reading "The Lost Sisters" which is 1.5 in the Folk of the Air series.  Since I know I'm going to read "The Wicked King" I figured I might as well work in it.  It's under 60 pages though so it's gonna be quick.  I am also still working on "The Homecoming" and then there is "The River" which I want to get knocked out of the way.  And oh, there's a fourth.  I have read the first three chapters of "The Dark Game."  I'm hopeless I tell ya.

I got some GREAT review books this week.  I'm really excited about all of these.  "Belinda Blake and the Snake in the Grass" and "Something Borrowed, Something Mewed" are cozy mysteries and I LOVE the Bethany Blake one so I can't wait.  I've been seeing "The Luminous Dead" and "Wilder Girls" everywhere so I'm happy to jump on those bandwagons.  Finally, I featured "Deception Cove" as a Waiting on Wednesday feature a few weeks back and of course "The Hummingbird Dagger" has Jack the Ripper vibe going on. 

And last but not least I scored some good freebies this week.  I've wanted "Arsenic and the Azaleas" since I spied that cute Basset hiding on the cover.  My shark-loving self had to add "Mega" when I saw it and "Repo Girl" appealed to me because it's a mystery and cars - which I can't help but be drawn too since my dad and grandpa were both mechanics.  

And finally,  I want to send a shout out to Tammy of Books Bones & Buffy for sending me her extra copy of "Pariah."  She knows how much I love this series.  THANKS TAMMY!

So what did you add this week?
