New Music Alert! Love and a .38: “Turn It Up”
It’s Already November?! Well, Here’s How October Went…
Where has the time gone? 2023 is a little under two months away… That’s crazy.
The last few weeks I’ve been slacking. My posts have mainly been song of the day posts, or new music alerts. I haven’t had the energy to do much else. Between working and being sick – sick, on my favorite holiday! the outrage! – it’s all I can do to post every day. However, I think that will change soon. I’m feeling better, a ton of tour announcements have hit social media, and I have a few movies, shows, and books to write about. Keep your eyes open for some variation in my content!
Now I’m going to finish “The Watcher” on Netflix. But let me leave y’all with a few pictures from Halloween, the Brother Cane concert, and the Gunshine/Seven Year Witch/Magnolia Bayou show! My October in a nutshell.
Update to My 2022 Goodreads Challenge (11/5/22)
I finished Danielle Vega’s Survive the Night and Natasha Preston’s The Fear. Both were readable books, yet I was disappointed with the stories overall.
On the bright side, I stumbled upon Small Spaces by Katherine Arden thanks to an Instagram post and I loved it! Yes, it is considered a kids’ book, but y’all, the creepy factor was real. I will certainly be reading the rest of that particular series from Arden.
My mom brought me Court of the Vampire Queen by Katee Robert. That was a disaster. If you don’t mind books with more smut than plot, this one should be right up your alley. Lol. I myself didn’t enjoy it.
And I know it seems horribly after the fact, but I just read The Maze Runner. I was unexpectedly impressed with the movie, and I tend to think the novels are always superior to the films, so of course I had to check it out. I couldn’t put it down. Another series I will have to follow through on.
My current reads are as follows:
Daylighters (Rachel Caine)
The Snakes (Sadie Jones)
This one was actually sent to me via a “blind date with a book” order from Etsy.
Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke – and Other Misfortunes (Eric LaRocca)
Once I finish these three, I will have completed my reading challenge for 2022!!!!!
