Weekly Reads (09/22/17) - My Favorite Time of Year!


So it's the first day of Fall!  I'm so excited as it's my favorite season.  Now if I could only find a way to omit Winter, I'd be doing okay.  So another week of natural disasters has taken its toll.  My thoughts go out to everyone effected by the latest hurricane and the earthquake in Mexico.  I swear, I don't know what's going on.

It's been a decent week at The Farm.  Basically the only downside is....COUSINS.  Enough said.  The pups are doing fine but they just got used to the cooler temps and getting out more and then it turned mid to upper 80's all week.  Mr. Barb works this weekend so Sunday I'm painting the living room.  There's not a lot of walls (french doors, windows, mantle) so I don't think it will take too long.  And oh, Booker T picked out the paint color.  Mr. Barb and I originally had different opinions but we finally narrowed it down to 2 we could both live with.  I asked him to make the final choice and he held them up and let Booker T pick.  I guess that way if I don't like the final finish, he can blame the pup. Who is he kidding???

Read quite a bit last weekend but then slowed down during the week.  The Strain finished up but I feel like the last season was just rushed.  The ending was decent though and overall it was a ver entertaining show.  American Horror Story gets weirder and weirder.  And for anyone who watched, all I have to say is "Poor Mr. Guinea!"  We watched a  horror movie called "Hatred" this week and for a movie that isn't really mainstream, it's not bad.  It combines ghosts and Nazi Germany.  


So here is what I plan on reading this upcoming week.  Hopefully by the time this posts I will have finished "A Conspiracy in Belgravia."  I'm really liking it.  Stormi convinced me to pick up "Dark Exodus" next because she wants someone to discuss it with.  I loved the first one so she didn't have to twist my arm too much.  Finally, I need to get to "Gift of Our Mothers" for a blog tour.  It involves witches so I'm excited.


Hope everyone has a safe and happy week.  Any good plans?

    1. It's called Fostoria Blue Glass - it's a super light blue/grey.

      Did manage to finish Belgravia last night. It was good but I'm excited to start Dark Exodus.

  2. This is my favorite season too - I welcome the cooler, brisker weather, and the best thing of all? Less bugs :) It hasn't really felt like fall here lately though, it's been sweltering so I hope things cool off soon. I haven't heard of the books on your reading list this weekend, but wow, I'm floored by the beautiful covers! Happy reading!

    1. Less bugs is a plus here too. They've been so bad this year and I've been a mosquito magnet since I was little. I now put dryer sheets in my pockets when I go outside because it does cut down on the times I get bit!

  3. It got hot here too, mid-90's for the last few days! Yeesh. Supposed to be that way til Wednesday, then drop like 20 degrees.

    Hope Conspiracy in Belgravia was good. It looks fun.

    1. Managed to get the painting done but today I'm so sore. We have 12 foot ceilings and being 5'2" I used muscles I forgot about.

  5. Yes! If we could just have all fall and no winter...

    Your walls are going to look great. I'm sure Booker T has excellent taste.

  7. This is my favorite season as well, but its 84 degrees today! :( Guess I shouldn't complain too much though, at least it's not snow! I hate the winter too... As a kid I LOVED it, but the magic disappeared once I had to use a vehicle to get to and from something daily. haha! I hope you're having a great weekend!
