Sunday Post 49; It's Monday! What are you reading? 49

 


The Sunday Post - a chance for a catch-up - is hosted by Kimberly, here: https://caffeinatedbookreviewer.com/ and It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is hosted by Kathryn here: https://thebookdate.wordpress.com/

My week was fairly uneventful, except of course for the heavy chains of capitalism.

We won at quiz on Wednesday night by one point, but a win is a win, no matter how narrow the margin. 

We got talking at work about some of the "reboot" movies that are coming out, and Roadhouse came up. So, of course, on Thursday night I had to dig into the vaults of TV Land and watch the original. The original Roadhouse is both great, and also terrible. This remains true. The soundtrack, however, still slaps. (Is that what the kids are saying? "Slaps"?)

Friday, Spawn had a friend over for a sleepover, so I retreated to my room and told myself "I'm not going to watch the whole Eras tour movie, it's over three hours long." Reader, I watched the whole Eras tour movie.  I don't consider myself a "Swiftie" as such but I do like quite a few of the songs, and I admire the work ethic. And honestly - it's a great show. One of my workmates went to see Taylor Swift in Sydney and declared it the greatest night of her life. 

Saturday a friend of mine and I went to the library, and after Spawn's wee friend had gone home and he had tidied up the debris of their sleepover, we went trawling some secondhand stores. Spawn bought a couple of books, and I found a photo frame for 50cents, which I've used to frame a Monet print card. 

Saturday night I went to my friend's place as usual and we stitched and watched reality TV. We're off to the movies later today to see Wicked Letters.

I finished Poirot & Me, and also You Can Trust Me, both of which I did enjoy. 

Currently I'm reading The Labours of Hercules, short stories by Agatha Christie featuring the little Belgian detective, and I started The Principle of Moments by Esmie Jikiemi-Pearson, first book in the Order of Legends series, which is shaping up to be very promising.

How about you? How's your week? What are you reading?

  3. Congrats on the quiz win! Both Patrick Swayze and Sam Elliot are peak in the original Roadhouse, I don’t have high hopes for the remake.

    Wishing you a happy reading week

  4. Congrats! I am looking forward to the reboot of The Fall Guy. Lol. I loved that show as a kid! I can still sing the theme song. My husband is a huge Roadhouse fan, lol, I am curious what he will think of the reboot. Have a great week!

  5. Sounds like a good week. I have noticed that there are lots of reboot movies lately. I seldom see movies and likely haven't seen the originals. Your books sound good too. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
