Chuckles Weekend Roundup

Welcome to my 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! I won't comment on any blog that makes me sign in using another account. 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!

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

When did it get to the end of the second week in December? It's been a busy week on the blog, getting all my Blogmas posts done, getting ahead in most of my regular weekly posts up to the start of February, and getting my challenge posts ready to put on the blog at the start of January. I've also been doing a pile of smoothies to store in the fridge, using the fresh fruit my dad got at the shops and I've got in fresh veg for homemade soup next week. I'm trying to get everything cleaned and tidied for a few days of no housework over Christmas so I can sloth out for a bit. December is a busy time for Chuckles and I don't even do Christmas!

 

I didn't buy any print books this week so the book ban is holding and no cheap ebooks either! No happy smiling Amazons boxes coming to me this month! I didn't get much reading done either but I read two books, one of those being a reread. Nothing to add from previous weeks as I've lost my ebook list and can't be bothered searching for it! This is just going to be a roundup post this week, rather than showing off my books.

Busy week as I said. I love December for the reviewing the year posts, pie charts and stats, planning reading lists and upcoming challenges! I love it all!

Currently Reading/Up Next

 Out of the three books I selected last week. I read two. One was a reread of Icebound and the other was a thriller called Sister Sister which was a decent read. I've started the Dark Net and will be looking at it tonight. I'll be tackling two more books I hope!
