What's Happening...(05-18-19)

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 continues to be up and down here at The Farm but nothing too drastic so all is good. I do wish it would dry out some so I could do some work in the backyard.  Cassius continues to do well. I can tell at times he's lonely and missing his brother, but we're still making all kinds of extra time for him.

I finished up "Dead to Me" on Netflix last week and I would highly recommend it to anyone.  And I can't wait for the next season - what a cliffhanger.  And I kept trying to figure out where I'd seen Christina Applegate's co-star who plays Judy and finally realized she played Daphne on the Scooby-Doo movies.  We wanted the finale of "Big Bang Theory" Thursday and it was rather bittersweet.  I think it ended well but will definitely miss the characters.  I also finally fell down the rabbit hole that is "Big Little Lies."  I have watched all but the final episode of Season 1 and am really excited for Season 2.  It's kind of like a train wreck in that once I started, I couldn't look away.  

Like everyone else, I'm thrilled yet anxious for the final "Game of Thrones" episode this weekend.  I'm sure HBO will continue to tick me off.  If they kill that last dragon I'm breaking up with the show entirely (easy to say since it's the last one right?).

I have been reading some but not as much as I would have liked (see above tv references for the reason perhaps).  I need to kick it in this weekend.  I am about 120 pages into "NOS4A2" and am enjoying it.  I've also read about the first 60 pages of "Ghost Mine" and the first 90 pages of "Dreaming Darkly."  I'm enjoying them all and it looks like I have some good reading ahead. 

I also grabbed a few books for my Kindle when I saw them on sale.  This has been over the past few weeks so I don't know the current status.  I've been wanting "Just Life" for a while and the author is an attorney/animal activist whose wife is a veterinarian so I think it'll be good.  "The River Man" sounded really creepy and "The Stranger Diaries" is one I've been interested in for a while.

So did you grab anything good this week?  I know I'm forgetting some but there's always next week.
