What We've Been Up To 

State of the Blog:  I cut my posts down to 3 days (not including this one). It gave me a little extra time to catch up with comments and visit my visitors. I even wrote a new review or two which I'll get posted next week. I'll likely be keeping to this schedule for a bit.

The Furries: My sweet, tolerant Buddy had another seizure. Ugh, he almost made if four months without one. This one lasted a good 4+ minutes that seemed like forever. He's back to his silly, ravenous self but scared a few more gray hairs onto my head!




Sooo, this was pretty much me last week after coming home from work and finding a full dishwasher, a full sink, full trash, full cat boxes, full washer/dryer and basically having a few nameless people in my house then "request" a dinner that takes me two hours to cook. Seriously people? Do you want to live to see 2018?!

Seeing I was a bit, ahhh, on edge? My husband brought this guy home for me. Isn't little Pinhead adorable? No? Maybe it's just me, then. Our first date was to see the move Hellraiser. He was sweet and made the mistake of thinking I was too and let me choose the movie. The poor guy had never even seen a horror movie before that day. He was as pale as a ghost when we left the theater and I couldn't, for the life of me, figure out what the heck was wrong with him.

    I like the doll! I have action figures of Pinhead, Michael Myers, Jason Vorhees and Freddy Krueger in my room which do creep me out sometimes! I'm planning to replace them with Game of Thrones figures instead! Poor Buddy! I don't think I could have pets now...I'd be worrying about them all the time. I hope this week is more relaxing for you!

    I'm so glad your furbaby was okay after the seizure. Must have been terrifying for you. I love Pinhead! He's mine and my sons favorite from the movies. My family thinks there must be something wrong with me as I love horror. LOL

    I would so not be a happy camper coming home to all of that! I love the doll and at least you didn't scare him off with your movie choices and he can get you cute little dolls like that. :) I love horror now but I was a late bloomer so I haven't seen a lot of the old horror movies like Hellraiser. :)

    Poor Buddy. I'm so sorry to hear about that. Glad that he's bounced back. I know how it can be and am just glad in the middle of everything Booker was going through he didn't have a seizure on top of everything. I adore the doll and I think it's the perfect gift. Especially since it has some extra special meaning. You grabbed some great looking books this week. Enjoy them and I look forward to seeing next week's reviews.

    Oh God. That doll will give me nightmares for days! Whelp.

    I'm glad you've found your groove. I think that's the easiest way to find enjoyment in blogging again. :D

    I am sorry to hear about Buddy's seizure :( I totally understand about coming home to a house where nothing has been done. It ain't fun. I love it when I work in the door after working all day and hear "What's for dinner?" before I can even sit down. Enjoy your new books!

    Sorry to hear about the seizure. :( It's hard to see pets go through that.

    Funny story about your first date though. :)

    Tastes Like Murder looks fun. That would be freaky getting a fortune cookie message like that!!

    Sorry to hear about Buddy's seizure. Hope he is okay.
    That is a neat, if creepy, doll. Your audios look good along with an interesting collection of horror books. :-)
    Happy Reading!

    Oh goodness. Yes, that would give a herd mama a few more grey hairs for sure. And it always does seem like forever even if only a few minutes. Glad he's bounced back quickly!

I saw a post over at  Mailbox Monday  that was encouraging readers to share their best finds of the week via their  Books That Caught Our Eye  posts.

Tackling the TBR List in 2018: Time to Vote!

I tried this meme last year and though it was incredibly fun I never revisited it because I spent the rest of the year breaking my promises to myself and reading ARC's and review copies instead of my TBR pile.I hope to change it this year and read at least one book a month from the TBR stacks. Michelle @  Because Reading  created and hosts the meme. Here they are, three actual books randomly plucked from one of my piles. Perfect for the Valentines season, right?!  Please feel free to let me know if any of these are not worth reading! I am determined to learn how to DNF properly. The Books              I actually picked these out for a Twitter post in January and meant to do the meme then because the Twitter-verse wasn't interested in my tbr pile. I did have one vote for Blood Rubies & In Cold Blood.  Click Cover for More About the Books             ...
