What We've Been Up To 

Whoops, I missed many weeks this time. I don't even know where to start now so I'll just jump in. I stopped with the madness that was 80 Day Obsession after injuring my back twice. I'm still sore both emotionally and physically. I started this program to make my body stronger but my body is not cooperating. I'm sticking with yoga and non-impact cardio. My latest plan is Beachbody's 3 Week Yoga Retreat. It's simple, easy and gentle and about the only thing my body can handle right now. 

Remember my promise to read a book picked by all of you lovely readers for "My TBR List" ? Welp, I have failed. Now it's only good as a picture prop. The print was itty, bitty and giving me major eye strain and I've instead requested the audio from Overdrive. Now I must wait or get better glasses :)

I went on the hunt for a book and found four sets of doubles in my stacks. Who needs B&N when I have my basement? Sooo embarrassing. There will no doubt be many more before I'm finished organizing. Here are the first two:

I also founds TONS of books that I was holding hostage and will be dropping off at my Little Free Library whenever the snow stops. Here's a pic of the last drop.

The only other exciting thing going on around here is the fact that I received my first Nocturnal Reader's Box and it is glorious. I'll do some sort of unboxing (after the fact) post. At some point . . .

What's Distracting Me?

Here's a bunch of good stuff I've found on cable/Netflix and in my DVD pile. All are recommended.

The Belko Experiment is a violent blood bath of a film. It's so horrible I couldn't tear my eyes away.

XX is a horror anthology film created by four women and all are told from the women's POV which was incredibly refreshing in a horror film. I was interested in if after hearing that one of Jack Ketchum's short stories "The Box" was included in it. I'm sure everyone will have their favorite stories but mine wasthe darkly comic "The Birthday Party". A beleaguered mom only wants the best party for her little girl and when the unimaginable happens she makes the best of it. This one cracked me. "The Box" is serious and sinister and not executed quite as well as it should've been. There's a dream sequence that comes across as "WTF" because of that. "Don't Fall" was a little meh and predictable but I have seen a lot of creature double features so it might just be me. "Her Only Living Son" was bone chilling and my second favorite.

Addicted is a tragic and bittersweet South Korean film about two brothers and the woman they both call wife. This isn't a horror film as I expected. For some unknown reason, I was thinking it was a vampire film. It's not that either. But it's haunting all the same.

Dead Set is a British tv series that merges Big Brother with the zombie apocalyse. It's fast paced, the characters are mostly a-holes and it's terribly vicious.

        

What's Next?

I'm so bad at this. I am winging it this year but my best guess is probably one of these, one of the remaining Netgalley titles and one of my many freebies because my Ipad is seriously ready to blow up.

So, what have you all been up to?!
