I have just got up to date on Guild Codex spellbound series by Annette Marie and now currently reading Dragon Mystic by Jaymin Eve. Shows I'm currently watching, I've just started watching Locke and Key and The Society on Netflix while I wait for Heartland to come back.
I’m currently binge watching Supernatural (for the 100th time, at least), and I just finished reading Stephen King’s “The Institute.” This Friday I get to spin fire, so I’m hoping for good weather! Everyone have a great week!
Currently Reading/Listening to an audiobook: Lonesome Dove. My step-dad used to love this book and read it many times. I'm doing the Modern Mrs. Darcy Reading Challenge and one item was to read a book from the decade you were born. Lonesome Dove fell into that category. I'm actually really enjoying it. The characters are very well written and the author is very descriptive.
Currently Watching: my daughter and I are rewatching Parks and Rec for the hundredth time. I just finished the One Child Nation documentary, and that was really powerful. I watched Cheer and I want Jerry to come give me mat talks all day, every day.
I'm reading and loving Strange Love by Ann Aguirre. As for shows I love, and want more of, The Repair Shop. It's a BBC show streaming on Netflix. It is so touching and sweet and cute and funny with amazing crafts people. I'm telling everyone I know about it. I also really love Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist on NBC. Dancing and singing and a touching story...what's not to love?
Watching the series datk shadows and new girl. Finishing up wiches daughter and after im done the return of tge witch lovin the dark shados series its cheesey but it has good acting im in love with barnibus collins and im learning to use tarot😊😊😊😊
Earlier today I finished JD Barkers The Fifth to Die. A wicked ride. Soon after I was out the door for my morning walk. I bumped into my neighbor returning from her walk with her dog. She was coming from a street that has no sidewalks. I asked her why. She said her dog broke loose yesterday and started to dig in the side yard of the scary house. She had to pull him away. I knew exactly the one she was talking about. The Earth is trying to reclaim it. Overgrown trees, vines on the roof. The first time I walked by I stopped to look and an old woman's voice from inside asked me if I wanted something. After that I've walked on the other side. But after hearing about the dog there is something I want to check out.
I am reading WHY WE SLEEP by Matthew Walker. It has scared me into trying to get 8 hours of sleep per night. So far, I am struggling. The things that happen to your body when you don't get enough sleep are frightening. I also loved HOW RORY THORN DESTROYED THE MULTIVERSE and ALL THE STARS AND TEETH. I received an ARC of C. S. WHO SPEAKS FOR THE DAMNED. I highly recommend it and any of the other books in that series. I keep binge watching GOOD OMENS and A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES. I never get tired of them. Also if you want a really funny bad (intentionally bad- and they get it right)horror movie VELOCIPASTOR had me laughing until it hurt. It is about a Catholic priest who turns into a dinosaur and kills bad people with the help of a prostitute. Oh, and there are Ninjas.
Currently reading: The Last Sun (The Tarot Sequence Book 1) and Why We Can't Sleep - Women's New Midlife Crisis. Watching Veronica Mars, Degrassi High Next Class, and Hell's Kitchen Season 11. BTW, thank you for suggesting the Art of Tarot deck - bought it for my sister for her birthday and she was blown away by it!
Right now, I'm writing and not binging. When I take breaks from sprints, I'm into making altered composition notebooks. I've got tons of scrapbook paper and cardstock. With some cheap notebooks from eBay, mod-podge, bits/bobs/scraps of ribbon and embellishments I've collected over the years, I'm having fun! Because who can ever have too many notebooks???
Moving up my TBR is BURNOUT: THE SECRET TO UNLOCKING THE STRESS CYCLE by Emily & Amelia Nagoski. A lot of my colleagues are getting 20 pages in and immediately buying it.
I did a wonderful writing workshop (specifically writing sex scenes) with Emily Nagoski a couple of years ago. The workshop was wonderful and she is absolutely lovely. I need to get this book as well. ;-)
That workshop was at this fantastic book store in Culver City, CA called The Ripped Bodice. I have since moved to central Oregon. ;-) But if you are near Culver City and don't know about that book store I highly recommend checking it out. It's a Romance bookstore and is owned and run by a couple of brilliant young women. Even if you don't read romance it's worth a visit if for no other reason than it's so well designed and is filled with people who LOVE books!
Finished "Ananda Metteyya" by Elizabeth J. Harris, Started rereading "Icarus Fallen" by Chantal Delsol, and am working through "The Terror of History" by Marcel Stefancic, Jr. I am also reading some trashy web-novels ("The Girl Raised by the Death God Holds the Sword of Darkness in Her Arms" and "The Man Picked Up By the Gods (Reboot)")
Currently reading The Maltese Falcon. By Dashiell Hammett. (Will watch movie when finished.)
Watching MI5 on Hulu and Agatha Christie's Miss Marple series also on Hulu. Love most Jane Austin book to TV series by the BBC. Dang I'm all over the place.
And yes Jaye get thee to Netflix to watch the Chilling adventures of Sabrina the teenage Witch. It's worthy of your time.
I just finished Martha Wells 1st book in the Murderbot series, All Systems Red. She won a HUGO for this I think. They are very short, but compelling. Not sure about the value of these, because they are so short, but I got them at a discount.
Recently finished William Gibson's new book, Agency, and was disappointed. The writing was good, but the story lacked an ending, it kinda ended in the middle and kept going. He is my favorite writer, so it wasn't a great experience.

I'm reading the Bosch books. Watching Deputy on Fox. Devouring everything I can find with art by Babs Tarr.
(and I'm probably playing video games while I do these things...SMH)
I’m reading Sarina Bowen’s latest book right now and I love it! But the show I recently binge watched and got obsessed over was Locke and Key!!

Ah yes, the lure of the creepy house. There's one in my neighborhood too.

Velocipastor sounds right up my alley!
Read the Discovery of Witches series (loved it) and the TV show, looking forward to the next season.

I made my own journals last year. It was so fun. Of course, it didn't really slow down my buying habits. It's a sickness!
That it is!
Moving up my TBR is BURNOUT: THE SECRET TO UNLOCKING THE STRESS CYCLE by Emily & Amelia Nagoski. A lot of my colleagues are getting 20 pages in and immediately buying it.
I loved Nagoski's Come As You Are and I've been meaning to pick this one up, too. Thanks for the reminder!
I did a wonderful writing workshop (specifically writing sex scenes) with Emily Nagoski a couple of years ago. The workshop was wonderful and she is absolutely lovely. I need to get this book as well. ;-)
I'm so jealous!
Awesome. We must be in a mutual area, because I know she has taught this near my location. :)

Oh yes, but sadly I am on the East Coast where she teaches for one of our local writing studios! But The Ripped Bodice is on my To Visit list!

I listened to the first Murderbot in audio and enjoyed it. Martha's great!
