So we had all kinds of different weather this week. Some heat, some rain and then this weekend the highs are supposed to be in the low 60s. It's kind of crazy but I'm glad we haven't had storms and I do feel badly for everyone getting tons of rain and flooding.
We managed to watch a few movies this past week which was kind of nice. We finally watched "Bumblebee" which yep, made me tear up. We also watched "The Highwaymen" on Netflix which was good but kind of slow. I finished "Santa Clarita Diet" but am still ticked off it didn't renew. I also started "Dead to Me" which I am really liking, so Netflix will probably cancel it too. Lastly we rented "The Prodigy" Thursday night but when it was clear that the poor dog was going to come to a gruesome end we shut it off. I won't be revisiting that one.
Cass is doing well and look for him to take over some blogging duties soon. I've been walking him a lot by myself after work while Mr. Barb is at the gym and I think both of us find it therapeutic. I also got some reading done. I FINALLY started "NOS4A2" and will be squeezing it in between some other obligations. This weekend I will be adding "Antarctic Ice Beasts" and it would be nice if I could get it finished quickly.
I also received a few books for review which I am thrilled about. First up, I almost jumped up and down when I received an approval for "The Toll." I LOVE Cherie Priest and can't wait for this one. I couldn't resist the cute little bunny on the cover of "Left Fur Dead" which is the first in a new cozy mystery. And finally, "The Dead Girls Club" sounds too spooky and too good to pass up.
So what did you guys add this week? Have you been watching anything good?
Our weather has been a mixed bag of chilly winter winds, warm spells and teeming rain! It can't make up its mind what to do at the moment! I'm glad Cass is doing ok as I know you've been worried about him.
ReplyDeleteI like the look of The Toll and that is firmly on wishlist! I do have a few Joe Hill to get to but big books scare me now!
I made it through the first 100 pages of NOS4A2. Only 700+ to go!
DeleteI cannot wait to start Dead to Me! The Dead Girls Club definitely intrigues me. I hope you like it!

I finished Dead to Me Friday night and LOVED IT! Can't wait for the next season.
Delete"Left Fur Dead," oh how I love clever cozy titles!
ReplyDeleteI saw the Highwaymen last week, too. I loved it. The slow parts were okay with me because it was a quiet, relaxing Friday evening for us.
It was a nice relaxing movie in that sense. I find that Harrelson and Costner work well together.
DeleteI am so mad that they are not renewing Santa Clarita Diet! That is the second show that I have liked and they didn't renew. Travelers was the other one. I have been hearing a lot about Dead to Me lately. Enjoy your books and your walks.
ReplyDeleteI expected more of a cliffhanger for SCD than what I got but I feel it still left us hanging. I love Drew Barrymore and hope to see her in something else soon.
DeleteI got The Toll too, I was so happy, I love Cherie Priest! I'm going to have to check out The Dead Girls Club, I'm a HUGE fan of the author and I didn't even know she had a new books!
ReplyDeleteI fell in love with the synopsis and will have to see what else the author has out since you love her so much!
DeleteWe just got Bumblebee from Netflix, so I'm sure we'll watch that this weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt's so good. Hope you love it!
DeleteDead to Me is getting some pretty rave reviews all over the sphere, so hopefully they will keep it around. I haven't watched it but will probably will watch it over the weekend. NOS4A2 is one of those books I want to read...but probably never will. Happy reading!

I hope you watched Dead to Me. It's so good.
DeleteIt is kinda chilly here too!
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of The Dead Girls Club!
Sounds good right? I can see it being something you'd pick up.
DeleteI just got a copy of Forest of Shadows by Hunter Shea which I'm excited to read. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've read that one but it's on my list!
DeleteI hope you like Nos4a2. Someday I’ll read a Joe Hill book. They get a lot of love in the horror community.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I made it through the first 100 pages but also finished a Shea book this weekend. May read on the Hill one for a few more days.
DeleteAntarctic Ice Beasts looks amazing! It combines a snowy setting with a creature feature, which is like two of my favorite tropes in horror! I still need to read Hunter Shea, maybe this is the one for my first :)

It's very interesting to say the lease. My review will be up Friday. I really really like snowy settings as well.
DeleteNice to hear Cass is enjoying his walks, and you too. It's been cold here, but I'm not going to complain. Ha! 🌷
ReplyDeleteI hear you on trying to stuff regular reading inbetween review obligations. My summer looks pretty light wuth ARCs and I hope to keep it that way. 👍
Have a wonderful week. 🌞
I'd rather have it a little cooler than extremely hot. I'm just hard to please weather wise!
DeleteOh, no. No more Santa Clarita Diet? The weather here has been awful.
ReplyDeleteHope you are staying safe. I know it's been very bad out your way!
DeleteI haven't heard of these books, but Left Fur Dead looks like fun. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteIt has such a cute cover.
DeleteIf Netflix keeps doing this to me I am going to unsub and stick with Shudder which I watch more anyway. I'm glad you and Cass are having some special time together.
ReplyDeleteI need to watch Black Lake Season 2. I really enjoyed the first one.
DeleteGlad to hear that Cass is doing okay. along with you and Mr. Barb. I'm mad about some shows too. They add them then don't renew once you get hooked. I'm thinking of trying Shudder.
ReplyDeleteWe have Shudder as well. It's good but not as much content.
