Oh man, what a week. It has been beautiful, but busy. Sunny and high 70s/low 80s has me in a good mood, though.
My son’s last high school track season has started, so every race feels a little more bittersweet. I’m excited to see how much he’ll PR this year, though. And he made captain. Hooray!
Do any of you watch The 100? I have a weird relationship with it – I like it, but don’t love it. I can’t stop watching, though. But the last half of this season seemed to really step it up and I was starting to really like it. Until this last episode, part one of the season finale. Ugh! So pointless and lame. I’ll watch the 2nd part, but I may give up after this season. I still have Vikings, Bates Motel, and The Walking Dead. ♥

Things to Know
Join the TBR Read-a-thon! It low-key, no pressure.
Have a great week!
We recorded the first episode of 100 and never watched it, after reviews were less then promising. Your weather sounds lovely and I have most of your freebie haul..my dang tbr pile is out of control.
Yay, so glad to hear you picked up World After, it is truly amazing even though Raffe isn’t in it much. Enjoy the rest of your books!
Congrats on the brand new captain ! I thought about watching the 100 but haven’t got to it yet. I’m recording Vikings and The walking dead and will start watching them with my boyfriend when their seasons are complete. BF doesn’t like to watch one episode a week, he wants all the episodes so he has no cliffhanger. Enjoy the coming spring and your book haul and have a great week !
I haven’t started The 100 yet. I haven’t had time for any TV series in the last two years though I’m taping them all to watch later. Space is becoming an issue between those tapes and all the books I have!
Congrats to the kiddo! That’s awesome news. And oh man I am jealous of the warm! *mumbled as she shivers in her hoodie*
I started watching the 100 but just couldn\’t get into it.Happy Reading.
I don’t watch TV a lot – just local news, Downton, Outlander and that is about all that interests me. Sometimes we’ll watch a season of something on Amazon Prime. We just started watching Inside Amy Schumer. Very interesting, no barriers.
I don’t watch The 100 but have plenty of shows that I feel that way about! I don’t know why I keep watching them since there’s so many shows I do love but I just can’t seem to stop! Congrats to your son on making captain! I know what you mean about everything bittersweet. Have a great week!
Yeah for your son on making captain! You all must be thrilled.
It’s funny you mention The 100 as I started watching the first season again last night and watching it now too. I have it on Netflix but can’t find where to watch the new season.
I’m currently reading Dark Alchemy right now! What did you think of it? I’m really liking it so far but I’m only a little ways in. I just checked out Written in Red from the library and I am super excited to read it. I have heard such great things about this series. I hope you have a great week!! Enjoy all of your new reads 🙂
I liked Dark Alchemy. It had that creepy vibe Bickle is good at.
I just finished the If I Break series by Portia Moore the other day and really liked it. The story was very interesting and different so I hope it surprises you too Christy.
I hope you enjoy Black Iris, too! I mean , it’s Leah Raeder and I absolutely loved her first book, Unbreakable so I hope this second fairs well with you 🙂
Congrats to your son. You’re having some awesome weather – it’s supposed to get up into the 60’s this week. Crazy as it was snowing last week! lol
Is Black Iris a thriller? Gotta look that one up.
I honestly don’t know. I might as well stay in the dark and enjoy the experience once I read it. lol.
I watched the first few episodes of season one of The 100 and felt the same way but I eventually stopped watching it. I have heard great things about season two though and it almost (almost) makes me want to start watching it again.
Yay for your son making Captain!!
Yeah, season two was doing really well up until this last episode. I can’t freaking stand when there’s huge build-up and then it turns lame and pointless. Blahhhh.
I’ve only seen a few episodes of The 100 but I can see how it would be one of those shows worth binge watching, but not loving. A lot of CW shows are like that.
Yay for your son making captain!
How was the Bickle book? Worth reading? I can’t wait for your thoughts on Written in Red.
I always wanted to try The 100 but no time!!! I love Walking Dead Though.
Ooh the Body Electric – curious about that one! Can’t wait to hear what you think of it. Hope you enjoy your reads!
