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! 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!

The wind is howling, the room is getting darker as the next shower of rain comes but I'm happy because we didn't get the forecasted s**w they said we'd get. I'm happily counting the days to proper spring for the first time in decades I think as winter is getting too cold for my aging bones! After my reading woes I feel much more settled and positive so thank you to everyone who offered support and advice. Oh and T*R is a new banned word on my blog! I've even decided that after twenty years of misery, I'm going to bite the bullet and go back to a dentist. Yeah, looking forward to that for sure. *sighs*
OK book buying happened as always this week, to nobody's surprise but I don't really care! I shall embrace this harmless vice in my life! (No I haven't been drinking!) I did buy a few paperbacks I've been wanting for a while. I also received a pile of ebooks from the lovely author Stuart R West which I'm quite excited about. Who can seriously resist the book title Demon With a Comb-Over???
PAPERBACKS
GIFTED! (And for review...)
Chuckles Blogging World
I'm now switching my weekend roundup post to every Friday so I can have Saturdays off the computer to read, follow the sport, lie in or do nothing! It's been a week of thinking things through and de-stressing and I'm in a happy place right now!
Book Reviews
This weekwas a slow week for getting stuff done on the blog but I did finish the last book review I had to do of the GRRM Song of Ice and Fire series so I'm all set to read the last book published so far and then wait for The Winds of Winter!
George RR Martin-A Dance With Dragons pt 1
Regular Posts
This week I didn't have time to look at any samples and I'm afraid my Around the Blogs post was lacking in content! Cover Love looked at Erin A Jensen, Top Ten Tuesday was books that disappointed and Can't Wait Wednesday was all about the Devil Sharks!

I have been avoiding reading this week for the most part but yesterday I did pick up a book at random from my non fiction reads and I'm liking it.
Not sure yet what I'm reading next but I might stick with non fiction.
