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

Some chit chat.

So, I’ve been sitting here watching the cursor blink for about 5 minutes, and still nothing. Been another 2 minutes and drawing a blank. I’m actually watching commercials to avoid another blank. Then….something popped into my head. Funny how something dull inspires.

I’m wondering which you like to watch more, movies or shows? Since Netflix came along I’m watching more and more shows. But I still love the movies and with On Demand and Netflix, I never have to go without. That all got me thinking about when I was young. Remember when the TV went off the air? They played the National Anthem and then nothing but static. And there were only a few channels to watch and it was black and white, no color. Now it’s 24/7 and you can watch from so many devices.

I also remember learning to use a Wordprocesser in college and thinking it was so awesome. Most kids now don’t even know what one is. And electric typewriters. Boy were they special!

So much has changed and it’s been my fortune to see it all happen. I can’t imagine ever losing all of this fabulous technology, so cross your fingers the Zombie apocalypse never happens!

This week was spring break here on the coast and I had the week off of work. It was glorious and went by too fast. I want a ground hog day where I go back and do the same week over, and over, and…..LOL

I didn’t do much of anything. Read some books.Watched some movies and shows. Stayed up late and actually slept in past 7! At least I’m well rested.

Sorry I didn’t visit a lot. Tried to stay away from the computer, though I did sneak in some time each day. I couldn’t help it. The dang thing was sitting there. Waiting for me to touch it.

Do you like a staycation where you stay at home or do you like to travel?

Did you notice? It’s my 200th Sunday post!

I have had such fun with this meme and can’t thank Kimberly enough for hosting it. I’ve met so many amazing fellow book lover’s and discovered many wonderful authors and books. It’s been a wonderful experience and I plan to keep on going.

And I got my new computer. I decided to let my computer guru dispose of my old one, but I did hang on to the hard drive, just in case. It’s taking me a bit to get the hang of this new computer. The keys are configured a bit differently and I find myself hitting the next key to the right all the time. I fixed that by moving my computer over a little bit, and doing better now. LOL It’s a Dell Inspiron and has all kinds of bells and whistles I’ll be checking out.

It’s such a beautiful day. In the high 60s with a brisk wind and so sunny.

Hello Mr. Sun! I think I’ll go outside and play.

Have a fabulous Sunday, ya’ll!

Not much happened this week. Same old, same old.

The weather is warm and I’ve been working on my yard, cleaning and pruning and getting ready for new planting. I’ve done away with a lot of my flower beds and like the clean look. Now to plant some shrubs and saplings and fill the flower boxes with lovely colors. Hurry up spring! I’ve got the fever and my green thumb is antsy. LOL

As for the pool. Well, it’s a mess but won’t take long to get it clean and inviting. It’s just too darn cold yet and those darn leaves are just out of reach without having to get in there.

But I sure did read a bunch of books. And I’m well into listening to the rest of the John Cleaver series by Dan Wells. What a trip those are.

So without further adieu……..

It’s the second week of February here on the Gulf Coast, and you know what that means?

Laissez les bon temps roulez!

Let the good times roll!

It’s Mardi Gras time!

Friday night saw the first of many parades, starting off with the Conde Cavaliers. People flock in droves to catch beads, toys, and Moon Pies.

Many people believe this celebration originated in New Orleans when in fact, history shows the first celebration was established in 1703 by French settlers in Mobile, Alabama. And we do it up big here.

I’ve been to many parades but not so often now that I’m older. It can be tiring and people go crazy for the trinkets.  I do hope to go to at least one. I’ll brave the crowds, the need for a non- existent bathroom, and the people willing to break my arm to snatch that shiny strand of beads I’ve managed to latch on to right out of my hands. LOL

Have you ever been to a Mardi Gras parade?

What????? It’s freezing! How can that be? I live on the Gulf Coast and we’re not used to such cold weather.

Check this out. Even when the sun finally shone down, this ice didn’t melt. Crazy!

The wind is howling, so cold your cheeks feel frozen. I braved the weather and went to the grocery store.  I know, I sound like a wimp. Just not used to such cold temps.

The only smart ones were my dog and cat!

They snuggled up on the comforters and pillows on the couch.

What’s funny is the temps will be back up in the 70s by Tuesday. At least we have that. The cold snaps usually only last a couple of days and then warmer weather returns. I’m already watching the sunsets and checking the time. Watching as each day gets a little bit longer and longing for spring. LOL

Happy New year!

I don’t know about you, but, boy, am I ever ready for 2017. I sure hope it’s a good one.

I have so many plans for change this year, in my personal life and with my reading and blog. I’ll be out there looking for a new job. Cross your fingers and toes for me! And I plan to make some changes with books and my blog.

I want to try to winnow down my TBR. Been working on that already. In order to accomplish that ginormous task, I need to stop taking in as many review books. I plan to be a bit more selective and still take in ones from authors I’m already reading.

I also plan to TRY to quit grabbing freebies. I know there will be some I can’t resist, but I need to tone that down or my TBR will just keep growing.

And I want to work on my blog some. I won’t be changing the look. I’ve had it a long time and it’s me! But I plan to add some new post features, one of them being a Kid Korner meme so I can review all of the fun children’s and young reader’s books I’ve enjoyed.

I’m also going to focus more attention on my Monday Minis Reviews, Freakin Fridays, and Saturday Screams review posts and keep them more regular. That helps out a lot with my TBR mountain too.

Got more ideas but I need to see how they fit in before I commit.

How about you? Got any big changes you plan to make?

New books this week.

And this audible book. I had to have it after watching the wicked movie.

I completed all of my reading challenges. You can click on the banners or go HERE to view them. Sure had fun this year.

I was stuck on the letter Y but finally found a book that fit.

Had fun with this in 2015 and did it again for 2016. I chose Horror Hound and pledged to read 16 books, and I had a feeling I’d have no trouble with this one. I read and reviewed 63 books.

*

I went with Level 3 – Super Sleuth : 13-20 books and read and reviewed 23.

And no problem completing this either as I love my cozies.

*

I completed my Goodreads Challenge. Pledged to read 125 books and actually read 210.

And had my own personal TBR challenge and read and reviewed 68 books.

*

I’ll be signing up for the Goodreads Challenge again this year along with doing my personal TBR challenge. I also signed up again for the 2017 Alphabet Soup Challenge and found a new cozy challenge to try.
