Chuckles Weekend Roundup

Welcome to my new feature Chuckles Weekend Roundup where I will be looking at what books I've received, anything interesting I've done or bought or watched and other random stuff. I'll be taking a look back at what happened in my blogging world too, sort of like The Sunday Post that some of you do! 

Please note that I'll be visiting your STS/SP as normal, but I don't follow or leave comments on blogs run by Google Plus or DISQUS as I refuse to join something just to leave comments, and I won't allow DISQUS to follow new people, update my profile or post tweets 'on my behalf'. I am the only one who does that on my social media! Sometimes, I have problems leaving messages on blogs hosted by Wordpress-they try to block me because I deleted my account with them but I will persevere as it only happens the odd time!

****************

Welcome Cave Dwellers! It's been a bit of a mixed week here for getting stuff done. My Deep Blue Terror Week started last weekend with watching 7 shark films, which is good but I didn't watch any during the week and only got 3 books looked at which was disappointing. This week coming I intend to do better! I've got a few great sounding films and books planned! I got distracted by following news reports on the Spain terror attacks as well as the ongoing saga of my scrapbooks-I'll be doing a post about it later, maybe tomorrow. Too much to do and not enough time. Speaking of time, I'm sorry I took so long to reply to all the blog comments last week. I just wasn't very quick at getting anything done!

On the book buying side of things I ordered one paperback about cannibals and gory murders which sounds like a load of Chuckles fun, and a few downloads. Overall I have cut my book buying over the last couple of months which I'm pleased about but I haven't read as much as I'd have liked. More effort this week!

Chuckles Blogging World:

 Still keeping three weeks ahead in most of my weekly posts which is helping. Top Ten Tuesdays take forever to write so getting them planned and ready well in advance is great! I'm working on three book tags at the moment so hopefully I can get at least one done and posted this week. Now that I'm finally getting films watched I hope to do a film review post every week. I'll be starting a new semi-regular feature The Many Trials of Sloth Chuckles where I show what I'm failing to get done! Should be fun! As always, a link is provided for each blog post from last week to take you straight to anything you missed. Comments are moderated so it might take a day or two to see it on the blog! Check out my Next Week section to see what is coming next at the Book Cave...

Book Reviews:

I think I've uploaded reviews of all the series I've caught up with in the last few months so now I can get on to individual horror, apocalypse, zombie and UF reviews. I'm hoping I can get through these bad boys quicker. I feel a bit happier with the way things are shaping up.

Book Challenge Updates:

My Goodreads Challenge total currently stands at 165/250.

TBR total of books I own but haven't read yet stands at 808. *grimaces* I hope the sampling for the second half of the year instead of impulse buying helps. My totalwent up as I bought a few sea monster books for my Deep Blue Terror theme!

Currently Reading/Next Up:

I read the three books I planned to read-Just Add Water(grow your own sea serpants!), Hell's Teeth (sharks attacking underwater habitat) and The Kraken Rises (huge Kraken and an army of man sized squid climbing over platforms and boats). Good reads! These are what I plan to read next:
