What's Happening...(09-21-19)

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 it's been kind of a sadder week here at The Farm.  My mother lost her 12 year old Boston Terrier/French Bulldog mix on Wednesday.  He had been sick a few days and nothing the vet gave him was helping.  She went back Wednesday and basically learned there was nothing left to try so she made the hard but humane decision to help Dakota pass.  It's been hard on her because it was the last dog Dad gave her before he passed.  Hopefully Dakota is up there playing with Booker T, Barkley and all our other pups.  On top of that our hot water tank died but it's been replaced and in the whole scheme of things, it wasn't that big of a deal I guess.

Other than that it's been fine.  A lot of TV shows are starting back up and next week is PACKED with premiers.  Looks like the DVR will be getting a workout.  We watched "AHS:1984."  Definitely interesting and as a child of the 80's, the music was great.  We also watched a movie called "Haunt."  One of the better horror movies we've seen in a while and I'd definitely recommend it.

So as I mentioned, Cass has finally started his Instagram bandana campaign.  I know not everyone is active there so I'm including his premier pic here. I plan on doing one on Instagram each week so I'll just feature it here as well.  Cass is seen here modeling a black bandana with hearts, hydrants and bones in white and primary colors.  He is anxiously awaiting his Dad's arrival home.

So on to the books.  I received a few arcs this week through Netgalley and the publishers.  I am super excited to read "Life and Limb" and featured it some time ago on Can't Wait Wednesday.  Berkley sent me "Meg & Jo" which I can't wait to dive into during the Christmas season.  It's a retelling/reimagining of "Little Women," my favorite classic, and I think it screams to be read during Christmas.  And finally, I'm also pleased to have "Oona Out of Order." 

Also, I had $5.00 in Kindle credits and also won a $10.00 gift certificate through the COYER Treasure Hunt Challenge so some book shopping was in order. I've been anxious for "The Deathless Girls" to release and grabbed "Puppy Love" when it was on sale because Stormi loved it so much.  I also bought "When Darkness Loves Us."  

So I'm still going strong on #Monsterathon.  I'm planning on finishing "The Imaginary Corpse" and "Time's Convert" this weekend.  So far I've terrorized 3,459 villagers.  My old home town has a population of 3,738 so I about have them wiped out completely!!!!

So how was your week???
