Some chit chat.

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.

Some chit chat.

The gremlins are back. Sheesh! Don’t I ever get a break. LOL

It seems Jetpack is screwed up on my blog. I keep getting an error message about https, and Akismet is now saying it is disabled and they want me to pay for it. Anybody else with these problems? If you know what it all means, please give me a shout.

On to other things. Been watching a lot of shows. Caught up on The Walking Dead, and just finished Once Upon A Time up to the latest episode. I’ve tried some new ones but nothing grabbing me yet.

And been reading, a lot! LOl What’s new there, right? I’m slowing down on review posts and doing some tour posts to make up for those quiet days. I know I won’t be around as much over the holidays and don’t want some good books to be missed.

So, what have you been up to?

What a fun week. I was off of work for my vacation and a few of us headed over to Biloxi and New Orleans to do a bit of gaming, eat some awesome food, and take in the sights.

We were a bit early to take in Christmas lights as they were working on that while we were there. This is a huge Gingerbread House. The windows have moving colors in them. Sorry about the thumb in the corner of the pic. LOL

And we went on a steamboat ride up the river. Beautiful day and lots to see.

Here’s a long view of the steamboat Natchez.

Had to get a picture of the paddle wheel too!

And, did anybody venture out for the Black Friday deals? I didn’t. I always picture the scene from Jingle All The Way and shudder. LOL

If you did head out for the sales, I hope you didn’t get Trampled All The Way!

Finally, the weather has shifted and it feels more like fall. And that got me in the mood for some holiday movies. In my QUE are White Christmas, The Grinch, A Charlie Brown Christmas, Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer, Love Actually, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, and A Christmas Story. Just to name some of the movies I plan to watch.

On the dark side, I have Krampus and Gremlins.

Gotta love those gremlins! I used to be a bartender and by the end of the night and a whole lot of drinks, it almost felt like this. LOL

How about you. Any favorites you watch every year when the holiday draws near? Any suggestions for me?!

It’s hard to believe it’s November when we’ve been in the 80s here. Still no rain so I’m having to water everything.

Been in the pool several times this week. The water is a bit cooler but I like that.

Been hanging out with my mother, doing some shopping and playing cards. We are so competitive. You should hear us when one of us is losing! LOL

Done any Christmas shopping yet? I did pick up a few things. While I was walking around in the stores, I noticed there was barely nothing for Thanksgiving! How can that be? It’s such a wonderful holiday and a time of sharing with family.

Well, it’s happening again. I’m not receiving email notifications from all of your lovely blogs! My tour host says it’s not from their end. My email provider says it’s not from my end. So, what the ?!!!! Please bear with me as I work to fix things. I will be stopping by your posts as often as I can. Though it will take a bit longer as I have to open your older posts to get to the new ones.

For those of you who follow my blog by email, are you getting email notifications when I publish a post?

Got any plans for Halloween? I’m loading up on scary movies and reading some good horror, suspense, and thriller books in all genres. I’m surprised I don’t have nightmares. Do you have nightmares after watching a scary movie or reading a book?

I watched the new episode of The Walking Dead. It was the hardest episode to watch ever. And I was right! I can’t believe who they killed off. I was teary eyed, watching through my fingers. What a horrible episode! Did you watch it?

Make sure you go HERE or click on the banner below to check out the 2016 Spooktacular Giveaway Hop. I’m offering a print copy of winner’s choice from Amazon and there are over 100 other blogs offering their own fun giveaways! You’ll have a chance at great prizes and discover new blogs!

Something new happened this week! Got my first taste of fall! I know. It’s pretty sad when the weather gets me excited. LOL

I mentioned last week that I was going to watch Conjuring 2. I did and I loved it. It was a bit slow in the beginning, then it cranked up. It takes a lot to scare me. There’s a scene with something in a wall that so creeped me out. I swear, the hairs were standing up on my body. LOL

Guess what day it is!!! It’s time for all new episodes of The Walking Dead! I’m so excited and so scared to see the beginning. Last season left us with Negan beating one of the group to death with his bat, Lucille. Tonight we find out who it was. I’m so freaked out. It better not me Daryl. Or Rick. Or Carl. Or……Well, anybody. Sadly, it’s one of them. Are you going to watch it?

You may have noticed I’ve been sharing a lot of giveaway tour posts recently. As the holidays draw near, I tend to spend more time with other things and less time on my blog so I take in less review books. I’m sure you all do too. Don’t want to miss time with friends and family! I’ll be reviewing some of the books later, but wanted to share them with you now.

As such, I wanted to direct you HERE to check out all of the giveaways.

I just bought one new book this week. Tia Reed’s The Grotesques sure fits my horror criteria. And it’s got gargoyles. It’s hard to find stories featuring them, and these are the kind I like. Not sexy shifters, but deadly beasts. Click on the cover to check it out!
