Last week was fairly ordinary, if short, because Anzac Day fell on Wednesday this year.So no work or school on that day, and once again I failed to wake up in time to take Spawn to the Dawn Parade.
Maybe next year. I did hear the guns from one of the parades, though.
Other than that, it was an ordinary week. Spawn was excited about the new Avengers movie, and I was set to take him on Saturday, but felt bleh, so J took him instead. It's the first time they've gone to a movie together, and while it's a nice milestone, I was still a bit :( :( ... even though I had the house to myself.
I watched two truly, truly average movies yesterday and today - Before I Fall, and Hurricane Bianca.
I'm not even going to bother doing reviews for them, they were so ... ehn.
The school holidays are done until July, and I've switched Spawn over to another after-school programme. He needed to switch in May anyway as the one he was in only takes kids until they're 11 and he's turning 11 in a couple of weeks. So the start of the term seemed like the logical time.
I didn't really dive in to readathon this time around - feeling bleh, and just generally lazy. I did, however, finish a book - Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch, which was great, and I'll review that later in the week. I also read book 1 of Knight Errant - the new comic series in the Dragon Age franchise. Rather than reviewing that piecemeal, I'll wait until I've read all of them.
I finished The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet, and wrote a review for that last week.
Also on the go at work at lunchtime is The Fifth Season by N. J. Jemisin.
What about you? How's your week? What are you reading?
Before I Fall was a movie I was considering for my Movies That Suck feature, s maybe... a good choice lol? And I went and saw avengers today. How did they like?
ReplyDeleteHeh, yes, I think it might be. Spawn LOVED it, and J enjoyed it as well.
DeleteMaree I was hoping to watch the parade too, but unfortunately I didn't really know WHERE and what time. I will endeavour to be more organised next year.

Same here. I tell myself the same thing every year.
DeleteI love the book Before I Fall, but I haven’t watched the movie yet. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI loved Rivers of London. Great book. I will probably take my nephew and fiance to the new Avengers movie next Friday. Hopefully Spawn enjoyed it?
ReplyDeleteI caught Before I Fall at a film fest last year—average is the perfect descriptor! And ordinary weeks are sometimes exactly what's needed :) Hope you have a good week coming up!
ReplyDeleteI recently watched Before I Fall, and it kept me engaged. I never read the book, though.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week...and thanks for visiting my blog.
I have interesting books and trying to decide what to read first. I managed to start this week doing three reviews which were long overdue so that is something not put off any further.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking that I had Rivers on London but a quick check of my LibraryThing says I don't. I have heard many good things about it and will have to get a copy. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteSometimes though a sleep in on a holiday is nice. Happy end of the month. Come see what I'm reading.
