This is my own version of a weekly book haul and all things new on fuonlyknew.

I’m also linking up with The Sunday Post hosted by Kimberly @Caffeinated Book Reviewer.

Some chit chat.

I finally figured out what caused my computer problems! It was the Facebook white screen of death. If you aren’t familiar with it, which I sure wasn’t, you go to your Facebook page and all there is a blank white page. You see nothing else.  I did some research. Tried every suggested fix. Nothing worked. And then I found out, you can’t fix it. You have to wait for it to fix itself. And that could be days, or weeks. It affected Goodreads, my Instagram. LinkIn and even trying to enter rafflecopter giveaways. The connection was that I had an option to sign into these sites by email or Facebook. What a mess. It finally fixed itself! Now everything works fine. So, if you experience the Facebook white screen of death, take my word for it and don’t jump through all of those suggested hoops. They won’t work. Just wait and it will resolve itself.

To treat myself for the happy return to normal. I grabbed some books. LOL

And I also finished my 31 Days Of Thrills And Chills feature. My head hurts. LOL You might not see many reviews in November. I want to just read some books and not think about writing reviews for them for a change.

Have a lovely Sunday everyone.

    Another reason to rain curses down on Facebook 🙁

  2. I always knew that Facebook was evil! The good thing is that you know what caused it but it is frustrating that you need to wait for it to sort itself each time.

    • fuonlyknew says:

      Facebook has caused a few problems for me over the years. I rarely use it and still this happens. Apparently it happens for no reason and fixes itself the same way?? So weird.

  3. yvonne473 says:

    I didn’t know about that problem with Facebook. Glad yours is fixed. I like the idea of reading and not worrying about reviews. Hope you have a great week!

    • fuonlyknew says:

      I’d never heard of the white screen of death until I looked it up. Wow. It happened to a bunch of people! I’m enjoying some reading without thinking about reviewing. I sure needed the break:)

  4. Beware Of The Reader says:

    Good to know about The White Screen of Death Laura! And I was so impressed by your 31 days of chills and thrills!!!

    • fuonlyknew says:

      I wanted to share about it and let people know that if it happens to them, it wasn’t anything they did and it would fix itself:) And I sure had fun with my October feature. So many spooky reads and you know I love them!

  5. Tammy says:

    I’ve never heard of that “white screen” on Facebook, what a nightmare! Glad everything’s back to normal😁

  6. Liliana says:

    Curse you Facebook! Lol. It’s crazy how it affected everything! I’m glad the issue is resolved now though. I really loved all your Halloween posts! It will be a break much deserved! 😊

    • fuonlyknew says:

      I don’t trust Facebook. Never did. It’s so huge. But I need it for some things so I’m thrilled it’s all fixed. My Halloween feature was a blast and I found some great reads to share!

  7. I’m glad the issue is resolved. I really hate computer issues. Mine are usually a big slowdown when a new update needs to be installed. I really could not do the 31 days as you did. It is an impressive accomplishment. I’m still dragging from the move. Have a lovely week and enjoy some relaxing and reading!

    Anne – Books of My Heart Here is my Sunday Post   

    • fuonlyknew says:

      I don’t even use Facebook that much. It was how it affected other things that really made it difficult. I’m glad I did my October feature again. It was fun:)

  8. so glad it fixed itself. facebook definitely has issues. tis the season to sit back and enjoy and i hope to see you soon
    sherry @ fundinmental

    • fuonlyknew says:

      I hope to see you guys too. I’m working so much right now I have no time to do much. My house is a mess. LOL

  9. dollycas says:

    Sorry you had to go through that but it looks like you pocked up some fine books 🙂

  10. kozbisa says:

    I have never heard of that Facebook issue. It’s bizarre. Glad you were able to figure out the issue and that it fixed itself.

  11. I’ll definitely avoid facebook from now on, at least from my computer.
    I hope you’ll enjoy all of your new books! I am especially curious about 10 blind dates.

    • fuonlyknew says:

      I learned it only affects your Facebook when viewing from your computer. Forgot to mention that! I could see everything fine from my phone.

  12. sjhigbee says:

    That Facebook problem sounds like a nightmare and I’m glad it finally sorted itself out! You have an amazing haul there, Laura:). I hope you get to enjoy the coming week and your books.

    • fuonlyknew says:

      I wanted to share about it so if it happened to anyone I knew they would know to just wait. That’s all you can do and it will resolve itself. Took over a week for me but I hear it can sometimes take longer. Now I’m relaxing and enjoying some of my new books:)

  13. I never heard of the Facebook White of Death, but now I know what it is! Thanks for the warning!

    Here’s my Sunday Post!

  14. Carole says:

    I have not heard about the Facebook white screen but I can imagine how frustrating it would be. I couldn’t imagine writing that many reviews in a month. My head would hurt too!

    • fuonlyknew says:

      It was such a mess. I had no idea it was a common thing either. It’s been happening to lots of people for years. I hope it never happens again. I’m happy I did the October feature but you can believe it when I say November will be light on reviews. LOL

  15. Greg says:

    Glad you survived 31 Days haha- now you can breathe. 🙂 And wow I had no idea about that Facebook thing. Seriously? Yikes!

    • fuonlyknew says:

      I was shocked when I discovered it had happened to so many other people. I never even heard of it before it happened to me. It’s very common.

  16. ericarobyn says:

    I snagged Shallow Waters too! I can’t wait to dive in!

  17. I don’t trust using Facebook as a log in for other sites, too much potential for a domino effect if there is a problem with one site.

    Wishing you a great reading week

    • fuonlyknew says:

      That’s the weird thing. I never use it when signing in yet it still affected a lot of sites??? So glad it’s fixed!

  18. I’ve heard great things about 10 Blind Dates floating around the internet. I hope you enjoy it!

    Glad you were able to get back into all your websites after the Facebook thing resolved itself. Such a weird issue – will definitely keep it in the back of my brain if it ever happens to me!

    I hope you have a great week ahead.

    • fuonlyknew says:

      I was really lucky to won a copy of 10 Blind Dates and yes, it’s getting some good praise:) The Facebook thing was a pain and I’m glad it is over.

  19. CJ says:

    WOW 31 reviews in 31 days is insane.

    Hope you enjoy all the new books you got
    Have a great week!!

    Heres my Sunday Post

  20. I think I had that white screen of death but didn’t know it at the time. Glad it worked out. I added the dog books to my wishlist and I’m really trying to justify buying Loki. He’s one of my favorite Marvel characters.

    • fuonlyknew says:

      It was odd that I’d never heard of the white screen of death before as it seems pretty common. The dog books are so fun and I love Loki too:) This book is from when he was younger. Should be fun.

  21. Stormi D Johnson says:

    You did a great job with your 31 days of thrills and chills! I haven’t heard of that problem with facebook, etc. Yikes, but glad you figured it out and it fixed itself!

    Have a great week and happy reading!
    Stormi

    • fuonlyknew says:

      I really had fun with the feature, Stormi. And read some seriously creepy books. LOL It took over a week for the Facebook issue to resolve itself. Hope that never happens again!

  22. Oh boy!! That is a new one- the white screen of death! I will have to remember these tips it does happen to me. Happy reading! 🙂

  23. I’ve never heard of the facebook white screen of death! I don’t use FB sign in for anything (except FB) so fingers crossed I never encounter it. 🙂

    Hope you’ve been having a good week.
