 Got My Eye On:  Book & Blog Finds

New This Week

 More reviews. Shocking, I know. I have tentatively scheduled reviews by authors Maggie Osborne, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Jeff Strand and Agatha Christie.  I'll likely have another Got My Eye On which highlights the blogs and books I discovered while poking around the internets. Maybe they'll be some other bookish stuff too. I am not nearly as organized as most bloggers and wing my way through life but I'm trying to get it together.

Real Life

We've been busy this week as you can see. Sleeping, walking thru the woods, car rides and hanging out on top of the toaster. Buddy started on a medication for his seizures and it's making him sleepy and so very wobbly but we're all keeping our fingers crossed that it helps keep them under control. Thank you all for the well wishes! Big hugs to all of you caring readers.
Linking Up

My tbr continues to grow thanks to all of the covers and reviews that tempt me online. I'm linking this post up to Stacking The Shelves,  Sunday Post, Mailbox Monday & It's Monday! What Are You Reading?  


Netgalley Binge

I did not successfully avoid the siren call of Netgalley this week and was approved for these two. No more Netgalley for me until I am caught up!

Audible & Ebook Buys

When I accepted a free audio for review from Audible I didn't realize they had tacked on a "free"membership until I had already hit the checkout button. It's my fault for being too quick with the purchase button but still . . . sneaky! They did give me two "free" credits for unwittingly signing on so I used them. I doubt I'll be keeping myself enrolled for $14.95 a month (for one credit!) because I use Overdrive and that seems pretty hefty a price for one book but I'll take the free gifts. Beware people.

    Hugs to Buddy. Hopefully the meds will even out soon. I need to start Nightmares soon. Thanks to your enabling, I'm also looking into the Hap and Leonard series.

      Thanks Barb, he's still super shaky on his feet. I may have to give the vet a ring if it keeps for another week. Ha, I am glad to share the Hap & Leonard love :)

    Poor Buddy...I hope things get better for him soon. I keep getting offered a free Audible book from Amazon but I could not afford that amount of money monthly so I keep turning it down! These companies can be very sneaky with 'free' offers!

      Thanks chucklesthescot. Yeah, that Audible ticked me off with their latest tactic. I know it's my fault for not proofing my shopping list before hitting "buy" but it still rubbed me the wrong way that they just tacked it on like that.

    I'm more surprised than anyone that I've kept my Audible subscription. I'm a convert!

    I added six new review books last week. I apparently have no self-restraint. I think I'm somewhere in the 30s with review books right now though they do stretch out until April for release dates. Come see my week here. Happy reading!

      Ahhh, that's not too bad. I usually choose books that are all due around the same time and I read painfully slow.

      Thanks Tammy. It is stressful but it seems to be helping. The side effects though aren't so great.

    Hanging out on the toaster...sounds just like a cat! I like Audible but haven't had a membership in a long time. It is usually cheaper to just buy their books when they have a sale than to be a member. It gives me an excuse to stock up when things do go on sale. Have a great week!

      Yeah, if they lowered their monthly rate or added more book credits in I'd keep the membership but I can't spend $15 bucks for one audio when I can easily find free ones at my library.

The Bloody Chamber And Other Stories by Angela Carter | Horror Fiction Review

Hmmmm The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter Released January 1979, 162 pgs Source: Bought with my own $ Goodreads  |  Amazon For the 75th anniversary of her birth, a Deluxe Edition of the master of the literary supernatural’s most celebrated book—featuring a new introduction by Kelly Link Angela Carter was a storytelling sorceress, the literary godmother of Neil Gaiman, David Mitchell, Audrey Niffenegger, J.

Horror Film Friday Returns with The Other Side of the Door

If you're new here, please know that my film reviews are crap and never to be taken seriously because I do not take notes and my memory is an unreliable thing but if you're okay with that, well, here's another! click on pic to rent/buy it yourownself Laurie from The Walking Dead stars as a suicidal, grieving mom. A terrible accident forced her to make a terrible choice that left her young son dead and she is not coping well. Still-sexy Jeremy Sisto plays the dad who seems to be coping with the death of their little boy by becoming a workaholic. He scours India looking for antiques that he resells for loads of money. At least I think that's what he does. He's seen bringing home an old thing or two and lives in a lovely large home so that's how I came to that conclusion.

Review: Flowers for the Sea by Zin E. Rocklyn

Image
Go get yourself this book! It's out today. Flowers for the Sea by Zin E. Rocklyn Published October 19, 2021 Dark Fiction   |   Goodreads   |   Amazon   |  Bookshop Flowers for the Sea is a dark, dazzling debut novella that reads like Rosemary's Baby by way of Octavia E. Butler. We are a people who do not forget. Survivors from a flooded kingdom struggle alone on an ark. Resources are scant, and ravenous beasts circle. Their fangs are sharp. Among the refugees is Iraxi: ostracized, despised, and a commoner who refused a prince, she’s pregnant with a child that might be more than human. Her fate may be darker and more powerful than she can imagine. Zin E. Rocklyn’s extraordinary debut is a lush, gothic fantasy about the prices we pay and the vengeance we seek. My 2 Cents For Free! If you follow the bookish people on social media, I bet you’ve seen people praising this book here, there, and everywhere. There’s a reason fo...
