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!
Urg, another week seems to have flown by. The good news is that I actually read a book! Yes it was only a short novella that I read in a short burst one night but it is at least horror fiction and I got it done. I'm not going to say I'm cured by any means but I at least liked reading something in the genre again and tonight I'm trying to get to another one about a lost world expedition. I need to as a couple of bloody pre-orders arrived which will mess up the TBR again! I did change a few kids books from my past from TBR to read so that gets them all in the right category ready for re-read and review. I'm going to devote my reading to novellas and short novels for the time being to see if it helps get my reading back on track again.
I've had a bit of a viral infection this week...just 'a' virus not THE virus. Felt a bit iffy, sore throat and dodgy stomach for four days but seem ok now. I get the odd bout of the nasties like this every month or two which is why I'm paranoid about catching Covid. I seem to want to try every virus that comes along! I'm hoping to MAYBE get on with a few book reviews this week. I know I keep promising to do it but I'll get there at some point I guess.
Chuckles Blogging World
I did a bit better with keeping up with visits and comments this week, just a couple of things to do over the course of today. I'll be looking at constructing my 'C' post for the alphabet thing this week. I might post it this week or maybe next week, depending on how I get on.

The Week Ahead
Well I did get The Roo read as planned and will read Lost Island tonight, which gets the two I chose last week dealt with. This week I'm going for another few novellas to hopefully keep the TBR heading the right way!
Congrats on getting a book read! I hope you feel better soon. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I got a second one read last night! Go me! Going for these short books and novellas seems to be the way to go for now. It at least lets me read some horror fiction.
DeleteHope you feel better! And happy reading this weekend. :D
ReplyDeleteA productive reading weekend so far! I got one read last night and have looked out a pile of shorter books to get to next. I feel a bit happier about wanting to read this week, which is good!
DeleteGlad you're feeling better now! Every sniffle and twinge has me a little anxious these days...
ReplyDeleteDefinitely just a mild infection. I agree though, every cough is viewed with suspicion by anyone who hears it!
Deletethe tent looks reaaaaallly good. sorry you are a bit under the weather. i have my second dose of the vaccine coming up this week, but because i don't go anywhere and am exposed to nothing, i will be diligent about other illnesses, like the flu and colds. i will continue wearing a mask no matter what and i wish others would do the same. hope you feel better soon

Sadly I didn't much like The Tent! I had a couple of disappointing reads this week but they all count to reducing the TBR so it's all good really.
DeleteYes I'll be wearing a mask even after I'm vaccinated and things are back to a so called normal. I think I'll always be paranoid about virus particles now.
I hope you're feeling better and yay for reading a book.
ReplyDeleteA GREAT week for reading (for once) so I'm pretty happy!
DeleteYou do get paranoid, I’ve had an on off sore throat and I’m mega paranoid!
ReplyDeleteMy dad is the same as me-we're constantly reassuring each other that we're ok!
DeleteI hope you are feeling better and glad you were able to pick up a book.
ReplyDeleteLots of books! For some reason I was inspired this week!
