So how ’bout that game last week? Quite the Super Bowl, eh? Barf. It did have me all emotional within the first 15 minutes or so, though. The National Anthem always does that to me, but with the ‘Schuyler Sisters’ adding “sisterhood”, and the Bushes’ coin toss, it was really nice.
The weather has been all over the place. We’re drowning one day, then it’s record highs the next. I don’t think Mother Nature is happy.
Who’s happy about the new reread feature on Goodreads? *raises hand* I rarely reread books, but it annoyed me the two times I did & wasn’t able to properly add them towards my goals.
And thank you for all the positive sentiments about my grandpa last week. He has his good days and his not so good days, but mostly positive at the moment. Hopefully they can come back to CA in March if all goes well.
On the Blog
- The Devil Crept In by Ania Ahlborn (review) – Really good horror/mystery.
Books Read
I read four chapters from The Turn by Kim Harrison.
That’s it.
Books Acquired
For Review:
Excited for a new K.A. Tucker book!
Purchased:
Ali is to blame for the first book! The other two are books I’ve wanted to read, so snagged them up since they’re on sale.
What’s On
Omg, I’m so excited for this! What Ever Happened to Baby Jane is one of my top favorite movies since I was a wee one. Anyway, I love both these ladies’ movies and their real life feud! So, yeah, this should be fun.
And TWD is back! I just can’t quit this show, even when it annoys me.
Have a great week!
That game sucked. Can’t believe the Falcons blew it like that.
I’m liking the look of Avenged.
I’m the same way with TWD. And I need Rick/ Carol/ Daryl to exact some serious retribution.
I thought the opening ceremony of music and coin toss was pretty neat, but that game was like watching two mini games. Falcons came out to play the first half and Patriots came out to play the second.
I want to read that new KA Tucker, too.
Have a good week, Christy!
I didn’t watch the Superbowl. Literally didn’t even flip to the channel to watch commercials or the show or anything. But yes, it does seem as though Mother Nature is unhappy, doesn’t it? Weather has been crazy everywhere! And me! I’m excited about the rereads! I already went and added mine! Glad your grandpa is doing alright.
I like that they finally added the re-read feature, but I have already messed up and by mistake put down my latest books as re-read, even though they are first reads
oh some new books to me there. happy reading!
I can’t believe how much rain and snow California has been getting! Stay dry!!
Glad to hear Grandpa is getting better!
I can’t stand Tom Brady and the Patriots!! Lol
Happy Sunday!
UGH to that superbowl. I did love the National anthem, Sisterhood and I was a fan of Gaga. Yeah the weather is nuts for sure. I am happy about the reread feature too I don’t often but glad they fixed it. I loved Making Faces and hope you do to. Have a great week!
Glad that your grandfather’s recovery is starting to prevail. You certainly seem to be experiencing a lot of weather. I hope you enjoyed the first 4 chapters of The Turn – I really loved this one. Have a good reading week. My Sunday Post – https://sjhigbee.wordpress.com/2017/02/12/sunday-post-12th-february-2017/
Hahaha! I love your comments about the Superbowl! I don’t watch it, but lots of emotions on Twitter during the game.
I’m excited about the new re-read feature too. It’s going to make life so much easier. I hated having to switch editions. I can’t wait to read Until It Fades. I hope it’s better than her last one. That one was a mess for me. And ooh I’m looking forward to your review of Making Faces!
Happy reading and have a good week ahead!
I don’t watch Football so no opinion on the game. I heard it was a good game but I guess that depends on who you was rooting for. 🙂 Hope you have a great week and enjoy those books! 🙂
Stormi
sorry Christy.. As a New Englander I HAVE to do this… GOOOOOO PATRIOTS!!! WHAT A GAME!
oh that felt good! 🙂
My hand is UP UP UP 🙂 I do love the new reread feature on Goodreads
I got rejected for Making Faces so thenk you for letting me now is on sale! GOT IT!!!
Go Grandpa! <3
I am loving the reread feature! I used different editions to mark rereads and that kind of made my OCD brain cry a bit. So I am glad they finally got on board with a system.
I, as a patriots fan, enjoyed only the 2nd half of that game. I’m not sure what the hell was up with them during the 1st half. But man, what a comeback!
Enjoy your books!!
I reread a lot so I’m very excited about the change to Goodreads!
UGGGH. As if I couldn’t hate Brady any more than I do before finding out he wears a MAGA hat. *vomits* I wish I have the time to re-read books. But I’m happy for this new feature because then y’all can verify when I claim that I’ve read *insert book title here* 485949047084738 times. 😀
I didn’t watch the game. I’m not into sports.
The weather has been back and forth for us as well between warm and cold. I absolutely love the new updates on GoodReads even though I don’t reread much either, it will be very nice when I do.
Glad your grandfather is having lots of positive days. Hopefully that’ll quickly be the normal and he’ll be back in California soon. And wait! There’s a reread feature on Goodreads?? How did I miss this? I need to check it out right now because I’ve been dying for one! Have a great week!
I am glad your grandpa is getting better. Until It Fades could be good, though I have not read Tuckers romances yet. I read He Will be My Ruin and it is the only contemporary mystery I have read in a very long time. The weather here goes warmer, then it cools down again and it snows. It has been that kind of winter.
I’m glad your grandfather is doing okay and I guess he’ll continue to have his ups and downs (guess that happens as we age etc…)
I’ve not yet used the re-read feature on Goodreads but had a book a few weeks ago I could have used it on. I’m sure the desktop version used to allow you to say how many times you’d read a book.
I didn’t really pay that much attention to the super bowl, but my family really wanted the Falcons to win. Sigh.
I hope you get lots of reading done this week.
That game was crazy. Our weather in Ohio has been crazy too. 60 degrees one day, snow the next day and then back to 55 degrees. Crazy. I’m really excited for the re-read feature too. I’ve been doing a lot of re-reads and re-listens lately.
It’s been that kind of season for most sports. First the Golden State Warriors in basketball then the Indians in baseball and now the Falcons in football. Gah.
I’m loving the the re-read feature since I hated not being able to count re-reads toward my reading challenge. I’m so excited to use this feature from here on out.
The weather has been pretty crazy here in So Cal. I wish Mother Nature will get her crap together already. Ha!
Happy reading, Christy! I hope you have a fabulous week!
The Walking Dead! I can’t believe it’s back already, it didn’t seem all that long actually. I need to catch up with last mid season finale first before watching the latest episode. Our weather sounds pretty much the same at the moment, being summer it’ll be boiling hot one day and freezing the next. Makes it hard to plan anything. Being an Aussie, I have no interest in American footy but love seeing the half time shows. Lady Gaga absolutely killed it! Hope you have a wonderful week of reading Christy and that the weather gets its shit together <3
Glad to hear your grandpa is doing a bit better. You treasure him, I miss all four of my grandparents, and now my mom, every single day. We have gotten our fair share of rain, but thankfully, the sun has actually been out for three days.
I am glad to hear that your Grandpa is mostly having good days. That’s great. I was not happy about the Patriots winning. They cheat! Yay for The Walking Dead coming back. I hope the second half of the season is more impressive than the first half. Enjoy your new books!
I LOVED the Bronze Horseman. One of my ALL TIME FAVES. You’re gonna love it. Oh, Making Faces is amazing as well. Happy reading! 😀
That game was bull… I have a hard time believing that the Falcons just wittered like that… like who they pay off now? meh
Anywho.. glad to hear your grandpa is doing better
Mother nature isnt happy here either. It’s like warm, than it snows, than it rains than its 50…like what
No Super Bowl for us here. I heard it was quite an upset. I am glad your grandfather is doing better. Hopefully his good days are more often than his bad ones. I don’t reread often either, but I’m pleased with GoodReads offering a re-read feature finally. I am really glad TWD is back too. 🙂 I hope you have a good week, Christy!
Mother Nature is having a conniption because of people who don’t believe she’s dying… smh
Happy Valentine’s Day!
I wasn’t into the Super Bowl but I did want the Falcons to win. Oh well… Did watch GaGa’s performance.
I hope your grandpa makes a full recovery (or as close as possible). ((HUGS)) I think a lot of us are having trouble concentrating with everything going on and it is affecting our reading.
Glad he’s doing ok, but March! Such a long wait. Sending all my happy thoughts!
I’ve been a little MIA, so I’ll have to check out this re-read feature!
Whaaaaat? Reread feature!?! Gotta check that out!
I am so glad that Goodreads finally put in a re read feature. I have been wanting that for years. Maybe now they will do half star ratings, I know other book library sites have them so I am crossing my fingers they will finally do it. 🙂 Not a fan of the superbowl either, I am not a fan of either team so it didn’t matter to me but not what I was hoping for either.
The weather here has been a bit crazy too. Ooh I didn’t realize there was a re-read feature on Goodreads now! Yay! Hope you enjoy your new books! Happy reading!
Feud!! So excited. Finally, TWD is back. I needed it back. Happy to hear your Grandpa is having better days.
I’m so happy about the re-read feature! There was a way to add the books to count towards your GR goal and whoever did it, has the books added on the re-read so that’s good at least 🙂
Loved the Schuyler Sisters!!!!
I’m hoping your grandpa has better days <3
