Sunday Post 87, It's Monday! What are you reading? 72
The Sunday Post - a chance for bloggers to have a chat and a catch-up - is hosted by Kimba, here: https://caffeinatedbookreviewer.com/ and It's Monday! What are you reading? is hosted by Kathryn, here: https://bookdate.blogspot.co.nz/
I hit another work milestone last week.
I had my first sick day. With the changing weather, colds are almost inevitable. I had a blocked nose, blocked ears and on Thursday I woke up and just went .... "Nope." Spawn stayed home with me as well with a blocked nose. We had a very quiet day - hanging out and watching a doco series on Ancient Egypt, which was really fascinating, and I think I finished a book maybe.
I felt better on Friday so I went back to work and it went okay.
Spawn had a friend over for the afternoon yesterday and I did very very very very little. As little as I could get away with.
This week will bring much the same. :)
I was looking at my Goodreads, and somehow I've finished three books since last week? Which seems a lot, but is possible I suppose. Wait, it does seem possible. Tuesday was a public holiday here, so I probably finished one then; one on Thursday, and one today.
It does mean I'm going to write a short reviews post for this week though, rather than write three separate reviews. I also watched The A-Team (the movie) today, so I'll put up a review of that sometime this week. I sort-of watched Kong: Skull Island last night - one hundred per cent because Tom Hiddleston was in it - but I kept going in and out of the room so can't really review that one.
Next up reading-wise is Wizards and Glass, book 4 of The Dark Tower by Stephen King. Hopefully I can finally finish the series this year - like I meant to last year.
What about you? How's your week? What are you reading?

I am not caught up on the Dark Tower books, I want to go back and re-read before moving forward. LOL, one day! I hope you are both feeling better.
ReplyDeleteThere's certainly a LOT to take in. I'm hoping to finish the series this year, though. We are, thank you :)
DeleteI was wondering about Kong: Skull Island, I've seen snippets of it but not the whole movie? One of these days I'd like to sit down and watch the whole thing!
ReplyDeleteI liked the bits that had Tom Hiddleston in them :)
DeleteAh, Stephen King. You know, he's an author I could never get in to for some reason. I've loved some of the movies based on his stories - especially Shawshank Redemption. But I've never been able to get into his books. And I made some good tries - have read quite a few of them. I did somewhat enjoy Salem's Lot and The Shining. I recently tried The Stand because I love plague stories, but I couldn't even get a quarter of the way through. I don't know exactly what it is, but I just don't like his writing style. It grates on me. Weird, huh?

I'm glad you're feeling better, Maree. Changing weather is never fun!
ReplyDeleteYAY for finishing three books last week :)
Have a wonderful week ahead and happy reading.

I love Stephen King's books and some how couldn't get into the Dark Tower series at all (I know sounds like blasphemy). Hope you are feeling better now.
