Friday Reads (same as last week)

Has it ever been a total crap week. A relative passed away super suddenly, work-stress is still high and we've been stuck in a heatwave.

Anyhow, I'm still reading the same two books as I was at this time last week. Tonight, if I can, I am sitting down with Patrick here and will attempt to force my family into watching a horror film after I finally finish Providence by Caroline Kepnas!

Talk to me at Twitter and/or Instagram as I plan to leave the laptop closed  again :)


You guys have any fun plans?

    Sorry to hear of your loss.

    I'm very curious about this horror thing you have planned. I did see a bit of stuff on twitter and excited to see what's up.

      It's a cool idea and I wish them well but due to unforeseen and unfortunate circumstances, I had to bow out this morning :(

      Thanks, Tammy. It was a reader hosted award for small press and indie titles. I left the judging panel this morning.

    Patrick does look chill! I'm working on a book I really meant to have completed by now myself, but the space zombies took forever to show up and I didn't want to keep reading it if I wasn't going to get space zombies.

    (They finally showed up.)

    Sorry about your crappy week and condolences on your loss.

    I don't know what is happening to me but I don't feel like doing anything but play in my garden - or look at it from inside when it gets hot lol

    I really need to snap out of it!

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             ...
