What's Happening (02-15-20)...

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 hope everyone out there had a great week and if you celebrated Valentine's Day, that you had fun.  As I type this (on Friday) it's super cold here.  We also had so much rain in the past week the pups and I almost started building an ark.

Speaking of pups, they are fine but I had a mild (who am I kidding, it was probably major) heart attack this week.  Cass and Apollo were playing and then Cass bit him.  Apollo screamed like he was being killed and ran and hid under the table.  I was home alone and freaked out and almost killed myself getting to them.  Apollo was fine - a small puncture on his arm which didn't even bleed.  Cass was fine - but grumpy because I then wouldn't let them play for two days.  Mr. Barb - he said he was surprised it didn't happen sooner.  Cass loves Apollo but Apollo does pester the hell out him.  Me, I wasn't fine.  I immediately had flashbacks to the whole Booker/Cass incident.  It was nothing like that but tell my psyche that.  Needless to say, three days later and they are playing like the always did and neither are worse for wear.  I didn't blame Cass but really hope it doesn't happen again.  Mr. Barb said that the pup needed put in his place but it broke my heart to hear him cry out (of course he can be rather dramatic - he whines and grunts and if you don't give him enough room in bed or on the couch).  As you can see here, Apollo is fine :)

So on to better things.  We FINALLY watched Doctor Sleep and I LOVED IT.   I know it gets mixed reviews but I think it was awesome.  It was somewhat different than the book (which I also really enjoyed) and fit in better with The Shining movie rather than The Shining book.  So basically my mind considers them two different series - the book series and the movie series.  If you've seen/read them all, do you feel me or am I totally crazy?  We are also still watching The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina 3 which I think is REALLY out there this season.  It is getting better the further along it goes though.

I have a three day weekend so I hope to get a lot of reading done.  Here's what's up - A Murderous Relation which I am about 10% in and loving, The Garden of Bewitchment and The Guest List.  I'm suffering from a bad case of I-Want-to-Read-Everything.  

I also got a few digital review copies and I'm thrilled for all of them.  I keep hoping I'll find a Riley Sager book which knocks it out of the ballpark for me so I'm going to give Home Before Dark a chance. I've seen some of my favorite bloggers featured Fractured Tide so I'm really curious about it.  And you know I love a good thriller set in the snow, thus why I grabbed Snow.

So what have you all been up to?  Read or watch anything you'd highly recommend?
