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 was the first week of my new experiment of posting through the week as normal but leaving blog visits and answering comments until the weekend. The plan was to give me more time to do other things during the week and get some chill out time. I can say that it was a stress free week and it was nice to find time to tackle other things that I've been putting off, on and off the computer. Today and over the weekend I'll catch up with everything blog related and get posts ready to use next week. Fingers crossed it looks like a success so far! I hope this will keep me committed to the blog for a few years to come.

On the reading side of things I did have a good week and got a few dealt with, which was pleasing. I'm on track so far for my monthly reading and my Goodreads Challenge. I'm doing ok with my other challenges for the year as well. I did get a couple of paperbacks related to series I'm following and a few creature feature downloads but I'll feature them on next week's roundup. A couple of these Zombie road books are ones I bought months ago and forgot to add to Goodreads for some reason. The Rule of Three is fan fiction based on the brilliant Extinction Cycle series and the author of the main series has published the best fan work for everyone to enjoy which is kind of cool!

Chuckles Blogging World

I'm planning a new series of posts about thrillers, apocalypse and horror books set around the world so my time off the blog has been concentrating on going through my books and sorting them into countries! It is quite time consuming but the posts will be fun when I share them! I'm discovering that I've read books in more countries than I thought!
