So this post is going up later than usual but I refuse to skip another week so I'm throwing something together. It's been a pretty uneventful week at The Farm, which is good because it beats the alternative. Saturday was Booker T's birthday and I think we were all feeling it though. Apollo and Cass are doing fine and Apollo is going through a tall-growth spurt. I know, pictures right?
We watched some more Shameless and are up to Season 7. I also started watching Season 2 of Dead to Me which I am enjoying. I do have to admit I liked the first one better though. We watched a horror movie called Dreamkatcher which was actually good so I would recommend it if you get a chance (it's not the Stephen King one). I also am completely caught up on Riverdale. It was an interesting year with that one but I have to admit, I hate that we had to miss the last three episodes.
I've been working part-time still which is good. I have also been reading some and here are the two books I'm focusing in right now. (S)Witchboard on the surface doesn't seem like something I picked up but the author's Chop Shop was one of my favorite reads last year so I couldn't resist this one. And as to be expected, I'm loving The Secret of Bones. Of course Cass knows the REAL secret of bones - they are better off in his tummy (Milkbones of course!)
So Amazon had a huge choice of freebies of Scooby Doo comics this weekend and I think I grabbed WAY to many. If you love comics and Scooby, then I suggest you see if they're still free.
And finally some more review books. Seems like Netgalley has been having so many more books posted since COVID-19. Or is it just me? You can click on the link and it should direct you to Goodreads.
So there you have it. Hope you all are doing great!
Lots of great books! I think working PT and staying safe is a reasonable strategy right now. We all have to do the best we can for now.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and stay well!
Anne - Books of My Heart Here is my Sunday Post
I'm still doing the PT thing but for now, it's worth it to stay safe.
DeleteI am going to make myself catch up on Riverdale soon!! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I'm caught up and you're not. That's odd.
DeleteI know, pictures right? RIGHT! 😃
ReplyDeleteI've had a bunch of review requests from NetGalley. 😯 Have you gotten any of those? I went from being the queen of denials last year to getting requests. Hah! Thanks Covid. 😄
Happy to hear things are uneventful. Give the wuppers big squishy hugs from Auntie La La. 🐾
Have a wonderful week. 🌞
At least you got to see Apollo on Instagram :) He's getting so big and yes, they do seem to be approving more easily right now.
DeleteThe boys love having a new Auntie!
Oh yes I'm definitely noticing a lot more books posted to NetGalley, and they're even putting up books with release dates that are waaaaaaay out! Not that I'm complaining, though I gotta watch myself so I don't go overboard with the requesting :D
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
Yes I also noticed some of the release dates are really out there.
DeleteI agree, NetGalley has been out of control. And it doesn't help when I have auto approvals for a few publishers, very dangerous! I've just finished the 4th episode of Riverdale season 4, and I'm not loving it as much as the previous seasons. It's really crossed the line into unbelievability! And WTF is going on with Jughead?? I'm so scared. Don't tell me😬
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is put on your seatbelt for Season 4!
Deletesome interesting books and scooby dooooooo is always a hit for me. :-)
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental
Yes, gotta love Scooby!
DeleteOkay so the cover of earthlings is kind of cute and makes me curious...lol.
ReplyDeleteI know, that's what made me grab it. Total cover grab.
DeleteI'm excited for when I can get a copy of The Secret of Bones. I really liked her first one. And Earthlings looks adorable...at least the cover does. I also have Hella on my TBR list. So many books to read! Glad things are going well for you and that you're still working some. Happy Monday! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm about 50% into The Secret of Bones and it is really good. I hope I love Hella but I'll admit I'm a tad bit nervous about it.
DeleteBirthdays are hard, Barb! Puppies grow so fast! Our Piper just turned 1 last week but she still acts like a crazy puppy. I am glad you have been able to get back to work part time. I hope you have a great week and enjoy your new books!
ReplyDeleteI definitely know that crazy puppy stage - quite well.
DeleteI went through a serious book grab in February and March but I seem to be over the book panic now! I just need to try and ease back into my horror and other genre reading and start getting the TBR moving in the right direction again. I'm glad all of you are doing ok and seeing dog photos would be nice when time allows!
ReplyDeleteI will make sure to post the Apollo pick this soon. I forgot you can't see him on Instagram.
DeleteCan;t wait to read your thoughts on the Secret of Bones.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have noticed how busy NG is - and I can't deny I'm sort of loving it.
Lynn :D
I am quite fond of Netgalley too now as well. I am really enjoying The Secret of Bones and would have had it done had it not been for other commitments.
DeleteI want The Secret Of Bones! And you've just added some more to my TBR! LOL
ReplyDeleteIt's such a fun series. I hope it continues on.
