Farm News - October 29 , 2023

 

I can't believe that October is almost over.  Seems like it just started yesterday.  It's been a wonderful and eventful month, but I don't quite know that I am ready for Christmas yet.  Although I have already been doing some shopping.  One of my coworkers, who has quickly become a good friend, came into town over the weekend.  We had a movie night out back Friday evening and then when she stopped by Saturday, we did a bit of shopping and then watched the American Horror Stories which just dropped on Hulu this week.  

So, the big news is we added to our family.  It was a rather quick decision, but I do feel it was the right one.  Apollo has been happier the past week than he has in a long time and even though we knew he was lonely and missing Cassius; we had no idea how much.  Having a 10-week-old pup is a lot of extra work and while working at home is great for his adjustment, it does wear me out because I'm constantly "on" and have little to no down-time.  He full name is Ezekiel Kwon but we've been calling him Zeke and Zekey.

I've been doing some reading but will be honest, this week has been kind of a slow down with everything going on.  I need to focus on It today through Tuesday and hope I can get it finished.  If not, it might roll over to the beginning of November.  I am also trying to cram in "Sheets," a graphic novel, to check off another prompt from my October challenges.

I have received a few digital ARCs the past few weeks which I am really stoked for.  I featured "Indian Burial Ground" just this week and if you remember, I just featured it on a Feed Your TBR post this past week so that was exciting.  I also couldn't believe I was actually approved for "The Invocations" since I'm sure it will be quite popular and I don't always have the best luck with the publisher, Penguin.  Angry Robot's "Thirteen Ways to Kill Lulabelle Rock" is also one I've been seeing around, and I can't wait to get to it.

Also, Kindle has been having some "Stuff Your Kindle" days lately.  On the 25th it was cozy mysteries, on the 28th it was witchy books and thrillers and coming up on the 31st is horror.  I've managed to grab quite a few freebies.  

I hope everyone is having a great weekend.  Look for another review or two this week, and another movie/TV show feature since Spooky month is ending and we are still watching quite a bit of content.  Until then, thanks for stopping by Booker T's Farm!
