What's Happening...(10-12-19)

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 ended up not doing a post last weekend.  I didn't get one up Friday, had every intention of getting one up Saturday and then was under the weather all day Sunday.  So bear with me if this one is a little long.

Pretty much all is well at The Farm.  We're in full Halloween mode which means we are trying to watch tons of scary stuff, and then there's football, and books and well, you get the idea.  We managed to watch "Annabelle Comes Home" this week.  I really enjoy the movies in The Conjuring world and this one was no exception.  There was a teen in it that seriously needed some brains, but it made for some great scares and some good entertainment.  We're still enjoying "AHS:1984" but was kind of disappointed in the second episode of "Creepshow."  

My Grandfather made a trip this week to see his brother who lives 4 hours away.  One of his nephews took him which was really nice.  I'm glad to see others doing things with him even if Stupid Uncle is still an unreliable as ever.  Mom is still grieving her pup which is also to be expected.  And speaking of pups, Cass got a new blanket and is enjoying cozy nights sleeping now.  I have two pictures to share of him this week since I didn't post last week.  The first is his weekly bandana instagram shot where he is sporting his Joker support and the second one is his best, most miserable looking impression of Loki.

So I've been running to the library for holds and getting books for review and since I didn't share any last week, I think I'll just focus on review books.  Oh, and I did place an Amazon order.  I couldn't find "Full Throttle" in my local bookstore so I had to order it.  And places wonder why Amazon is taking over.  And then I was really curious about the Agatha Christie book.  And then The Beautiful was a gift from Mr. Mike.

So I will be reading this weekend and here's what's up next on the stack.  "The Time Police" is for a blog tour, the author very kindly sent me "Scavenger Hunt," and yep, that's a women's fiction book thrown right in the middle of Halloween season????  I also need to be working on "Slash" and "Magic Shifts" before the end of the month as those two are buddy reads with Stormi.  And in case you don't know, Stormi has been creating some awesome videos over on Booktube/Youtube so make sure to check her out HERE.

And now for the review books I received from the publishers and Netgalley.  "Separation Anxiety" is not a book you'd typically see here BUT there is a dog.  I'm preparing for some Christmas reads with "A Very Scalzi Christmas" and "Christmas Past." I'm definitely getting some creepy vibes from "The Poor and the Haunted," "Conjure Women," and "Blood Countess" which involved Lady Dracula.  "No Man's Land" is a continuation of a thriller series and I've seen lots of buzz about "Darling Rose Gold" and "The Sun Down Motel."

So there you have it. If you've made it through all of this, thanks.  Are you reading any good books or watching any movies or TV I have to see?
