What's Happening...(03-07-20)

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 missed posting last week so hopefully I can make this update fairly short.  However, I have tons of books to share so who knows.

I'm actually surprised that I've been able to read as much as I have lately.  I'm still proud to say I'm kicking Goodreads' butt!  Let's see how long I stay winning on that front.  Gpa came home, was fine and then was back in the hospital.  He's seems to be doing okay but his insurance used to cover 4-6 weeks of home health upon referral and now it's been cut to 2 weeks!  I guess they'd rather pay exorbitant hospital/rehab costs.  Go figure.  I think I'll leave that battle for my Stupid Uncle when he gets home.  Who am I kidding?  He won't do anything.

The pups are fine and Apollo is growing like a weed.  He's 18 weeks old and I'm happy to say the biting is decreasing - some.  Cass had some tests done which all came back great so I'm happy on that front as well.  I promise to have pictures next week.  Mr. Barb bought Apollo a skateboard.  Sometimes I just nod and move on.  So far it's been a great chew toy!

Entertainment wise I've watched a few things.  We watched "Black Christmas" on a whim - meaning I put it on and Mr. Barb walked in so he humored me.  He typically is not a fan of slasher movies.  This one had a weird twist though.  Then I was sick one day this week so I watched "Last Christmas."  It also took an unexpected turn but was really good and I enjoyed all the George Michael music.  Hmmm...maybe I prefer Christmas in March.  

Mr. Barb has become obsessed with Assassin's Creed Odyssey on PS4.  I don't mind when he games because honestly, he doesn't do it year-round.  But there have been times I felt he would listen better this week if I had a life bar over my head he could focus on :)  Actually it's given me tons of reading time as I can sit on the couch and "watch" while reading.  Wonder if he has figured out that's why I encourage him to play so much?

This is the first weekend in a long time that I actually feel ahead on my reading and don't have any immediate commitments so I can read freely.  I'm almost finished with Roo and then I'm going to start on a few library books.  

I also bought a few books.  I had preordered a physical copy of Crescent City (don't ask why because I can't tell ya).  I also preordered a digital copy of Thelma and Daphne.  Finally I added Psychomania to my Kindle because I recently placed it in my wishlist and I saw Friday it was on sale for $1.99.  Couldn't let that pass me by could I?

And finally my review haul.  Bear in mind I've not shared any review books for the past three weeks.  For sake of time and convenience, I'll list the title and you can click on that to go to the Goodreads page.  

Deeplight/Dog Mom/The Living Dead

 The Harpy/The Lady Upstairs/Bobbit Rock

Death at High Tide/Titan's Day/Hunted

So I think that does it for this week. Hope you guys are having a wonderful weekend!
