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!

 This has been a week of stress. My digital TV box hasn't been working so I have no TV in my room at all until after Christmas at least which makes me mad. My sterio has decided not to play any of my cds now so that needs repairing or replaces and for the whole week my computer has been acting up. I'm not a happy bunny at the moment. Why does all this happen right before Christmas??? I would've broke my book ban had Amazon loaded this morning, I was so hacked off! I need to calm down by having a nice relaxed film night and maybe a bit of reading. That's the plan.

No books bought this week, none downloaded and I still can't find my ebook list so I can't add anything to my Goodreads total this week. I haven't really wanted to find it though so I didn't look too hard. I was also busy doing washing and ironing and cleaning the shower...ugh I HATE housework!!! Why can't I have a house elf??? Tonight I'm just having a pizza and saying to hell with the cooking tonight!

Chuckles Blogging World 

It has been a slog this week with a lot of time spent on irritating things and cleaning. I got to as many blog posts as I could and at least kept up with blog posts. I only found time for one book review and some mini reviews so I need to get some of those done this coming week.

Book Reviews 

My mini reviews were from Elias Zanbaka, GS Denning, Hunter Shea and Carolyn McCray.

Film & TV Reviews

I was watching the semi finals of Masterchef and the Darts when the TV digital box packed in and I've had two days of nothing to watch in my room.

Currently Reading/Up Next  

 The three I chose to deal with this week were The Dark Net, which I DNFed, Illuminae, which I DNFed and The Beast of London which I really enjoyed. Today I'll be finishing Zodiac Station which has been a decent read so far. For the rest of the month I have no specific plan for reading but I'll see what mood takes me!
