Whew! I made it through the hectic week! I seriously just want to veg out and do nothing. Plus, my internet was being super wonky all week, so that was a pain to deal with. Now it’s super duper speedy, though.
I read Admiral by Sean Danker, and this post by the author about marketability and diverse characters was brought to my attention. I thought it was interesting, but not surprising – unfortunately.
Aaaand … next week kicks off the May Clean Sweep Challenge! Make sure to sign up.

For Review:
I saw The Woman in Cabin 10 on Carole’s WoW this week and thought it sounded really good. And Firewalk is by the co-creator of iZombie – that’s all I need to know.
Purchased:
Everyone is loving the 2nd book, so of course I grabbed the 1st one when I saw the price drop.
Watching
So who watched Lemonade? I wouldn’t consider myself a huge Beyonce fan, but damn, that was really freaking good! I about had a stroke from excitement when I heard Jack White on there. ♥
Aaaaaaaaaaaand we have a new companion! Looks like they’re going to be a fun duo.
I am excited about Pearl. I need to check out Lemonade. Go be lazy and veg.
Wonky internet is the worst! My internet is often terrible and it makes me so cranky!
I saw The Woman in Cabin 10 and thought it looked fantastic and requested it! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it!
Have a great week ahead! 🙂
I want to get into Dr. Who but there are so many… where to start? Maybe just start w/ the current one and go from there… it does look kinda fun. 🙂
Down with the shine seems to be getting good buzz.
Nooo … start with the 2006 season with the 9th Doctor. Trust me.
Always when I start to like someone they leave :/ I will miss Clara, I liked her a lot more than Amy
My Internet has been all weird this week, too. It’s actually the second week in a row. If it keeps happening, I’m calling my provider. Ugh.
The internet being wonky is definitely a pain. The computer I’m using gets really slow sometimes, so I’m constantly thinking about how I could get twice as much done if I wasn’t always just sitting here waiting! Anyway, I’m going to go check out your Down with the Shine review since I really want to read that book!
My internet is always kind of slow. Yay that yours got super duper speedy after being wonky. Vegging out sounds so nice … Have a great week!
I am curious about the new companion on Doctor Who! I think this could be a very different duo and I like that! Have a great week!
Blurred sounds good, hope you enjoy. Happy reading and have a good upcoming week.
I hate it when internet is being slow. It really makes me cranky when that happens.
‘Blurred Lines’ looks and sounds like a good one. I definitely need to check that one out soon!
Happy Reading! 😉
The Woman in Cabin 10 looks amazing. I know how frustrating it is to have wonky internet. I hope your problems are fixed now. Enjoy reading your new books!
New books to me, happy reading!
I hate when my internet is wonky! It makes me insane. I really wish it was super speedy afterwards though. That would (possibly) make up for the wonkiness (maybe). I hope you’ve had a chance to veg. Vegging is the best! 😀
Blurred Lines was my very first Lauren Layne novel. I’m glad you snagged it up on discount. I read Good Girl last weekend and it was wonderful. Have a wonderful week Christy!
Ohhh… The Woman in Cabin 10 does look and sound great. Might have to attempt to add that to my ‘things I’d like to read’ list…
I hope this week isn’t as hectic for you!
Our internet has been weird all week, super slow, even Netflix is loading, loading, loading. Such a pain!
I want to be lazy too. I’m so ready for lazy summer days!
I got Firewalk too and Beyonce is really changing the game for everyone. Love her new visual album, very “creole”
I resisted The Woman in Cabin Ten but didn’t see Firewalk. Must check it now now! Hope you enjoy vegging out this weekend. I sure did!
All hail, Queen Bey! I love me some Beyoncé. 🙂 But i didn’t get to watch it because I have no HBO. Lol. I can’t wait to download the album. And yasss Jack White.
Have a great week, Christy. 😉
LOL, the new companion is kind of annoying but I am sure I will get use to her. So, did you get new internet? Mine sucks, I want to find a new provider.
ooooh veg out! I love the sound of that! glad you survive the week Christy! Thanks for the May Clean Sweep Challenge reminder! Dory (AKA me) needs all the reminders she can get 🙂
ok… so I went checked and I’m already in! See? Dory! Thx anyway! 🙂
Sorry about the crazy week, but hopefully you were able to just chill out this weekend. I did some stuff this weekend and saw a couple friends, but I also spent a lot of time sitting outside and reading, so it was nice!

I liked Clara, but I think Pearl will be a fun companion. I think I will be joining the May Clean Sweep Challenge. Great haul of books this week.

I’m watching Lemonade right now. Holy shit. Whole new respect for that woman.
I know, right?
Sometimes we have those weeks where we just want to veg out and do nothing. Awesome books, I hope you enjoy them!
I am curious about The Women in Cabin 10 as well You read it and let me know how it is as thrillers have been hit or miss for me lately. Definitely though check out I Let You Go.
I could deal with wonky wifi if it goes super fast after. 🙂 Glad that was fixed for you. I’ll have to check out Firewalk and Lemonade!
I hope you got some rest in. I’m really excited for Pearl as the new companion. I hope your new reads are great.
Internet problems drive me crazy but yay for super speedy internet! I was hoping that Admiral would be really good. I should be starting that one soon. I am glad that you picked up the new Ruth Ware book. My request is still pending on NetGalley. Of course, I don’t blame them since I have so many books to read already. Have a great week!
The Woman in Cabin 10 looks interesting. Hope you got your lazy weekend, there is nothing like that to revive the spirits 🙂
Oh I wonder what was up with your internet with it being wonky the whole week and now super fast. Although that’s good it’s now so fast! I am sorry to hear you had such a hectic week and hope this one is calmer so far! I’ll have to read that post by that author as I am always interested to read posts about marketing! Nice haul of books and I hope you’ll have a great week!
I haven’t read Lauren Layne, but I do like the sound of the Love Unexpectedly series. Enjoy!!
