Morning readers! It's a gloomy, rainy morning here so it's basically the perfect time to blog. I've got a warm cup of coffee by my side and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is on TV. Not too much new to report since my last reading update. The fall sports season has ended leaving my nights much more open then they have been. You would think that means more reading time but it hasn't. Instead, I feel like that has meant more time on Litsy and Twitter. Definitely more television time! I need to focus on being online less and reading more. It is hard though to strike that perfect balance. I haven't been blogging (obviously) since I haven't posted in two weeks. Oh well, one of these days I will find time to do it all. LOL!
My husband and I finished season two of Stranger Things last night. It was basically amazing and UGH- how am I to wait now for season 3??? I can see a series rewatch in my future just to tide me over as I absolutely adore this show. Reading wise I've only finished one book since my last update. It was 500 plus pages so that makes me feel a bit better but really I need to work on finding more reading time or I'm not even going to finish 60 books in 2017. That might be my lowest number of reads since I first started keeping track. (I could be wrong about that - I will have to check). Anyways I finished the following:
I'm now currently reading the following:
Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant is my current kindle read. It is also about mermaids and I basically love it already for that reason alone. Grant can just spin a tale (she wrote the Newsflesh books which I adore) so I'm loving this so far. I'm not as far in as I would like to be but hopefully I will get more reading time in this week. Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie is my next print read. It has been years since I read anything by Christie (shame on me) but I couldn't resist grabbing this one from the library seeing as the movie is releasing soon. I'm really looking forward to it as well!
Nonfiction November is here and you might notice that I didn't include Searching for Sunday in my currently reading list. It had to go back to the library unfinished so now I need to figure out a new nonfiction read. I really should pick one from my own shelves since these tend to take me a little bit longer to finish. But there are also SO many good sounding books that I'm probably going to request one from the library. I was thinking about one of these:
If you could pick one of these to read next - which one would you recommend? These are just four of the many, many books that I've got on my never-ending TBR list. Help a girl out and give me your opinion on which one I should request from the library?? I would really appreciate it as I can't not participate in Nonfiction November. I already am adding more nonfiction reads to my TBR list thanks to it.
Plans for the day include a lot of laundry and a lot of blogging. I really need to work on writing up reviews so I don't end the year with a bunch of books that I never shared my thoughts on. Again. I also need to focus on my laundry piles as usual. I am really looking forward to tonight's episode of The Walking Dead. And I would love to get some quality reading time on top of all of that. At least I cleaned house yesterday so I can focus on other things today like reading. LOL!
Happy Sunday and Happy Reading!
I've been meaning to read the Jack Reacher series, I'm glad to hear it was a good read! I'm definitely going to have to pick a few up at my next trip to Barnes & Noble (*squeals). Am I the only one who makes an entire day of a trip to B & N??? Have a great week and happy reading!!
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of an entire day at Barnes and Noble! What fun and how relaxing that would be. I really did enjoy Kill Floor so if you do read it - let me know your thoughts!
DeleteI want to read that Agatha Christi book maybe I'll get to it this winter :D. I had to look up what Litsy is because I never heard of it, sounds like another book addiction heh
ReplyDeleteGreat picks for non fiction november, I hope you enjoy them
Litsy is amazing and I highly, highly recommend joining! It is such a positive community - very much one of my favorite things any more. It is definitely a bookish addiction though!
DeleteI’ve read The Stranger in the Woods. It’s pretty good, and it’s short, so it’s a quick read.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
The Stranger in the Woods is the shortest of the four nonfiction reads that I picked up from the library today so that does help. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it!
DeleteI’ve heard great things about Stranger Things lately and am so curious. Need to check it out. I hope you have a wonderful reading time this week. ❤️😁
ReplyDeleteStranger Things is amazing so don't wait to watch it!!! I love it so much! I hope that you have a wonderful week of reading as well!
DeleteYou'll have to keep us posted on which nonfiction read you end up choosing. I am so glad for nonfiction November because I really needed the push to grab something different from my usual read!
ReplyDeleteI still haven't decided! It is a bit ridiculous at this point. I even put them all on hold at the library and just picked them up today - I will definitely let you know what I end up settling on though!
DeleteA gloomy, rainy morning sounds perfect. :) I love being at home during that kind of weather. Don't come across too many books about mermaids. Sounds interesting! Tough pick on the nonfiction. They all seem like they'd be interesting. Maybe The Stranger in the Woods.
ReplyDeleteHope your week is off to a great start!

Those are my favorite kinds of morning. Into the Drowning Deep is really good so far! I've loved Mira Grant's books before and I think that the trend is going to continue here!
DeleteIt's alright to take it slowly, if you don't feel like reading, you don't feel like reading. I think I will lower my Goodreads challenge for next year so I don't have to roll over my head like I did this year :)
