So here's a midweek round up of what I'm reading watching, etc. Plus Can't Wait Wednesday, hosted by Wishful endings. So sit back, raise a cuppa, and see what's new! And share what you're up to.
This week my Can't Wait pick is Rogue Protocol, the third book in the Murderbot Diaries.
What I'm Reading
What I'm Watching
My Balligomingo selection was popular last week so here's another.
Misc Stuff
Okay- question of the day.
You wake up alone. Everyone is gone. Your house is empty, the neighborhood is empty, near as you can tell the city is empty. What do you do?
1) Stay put
2) Search for others
3) Cry
4) More time for reading!
5) Or something else
Gosh Rogue Protocol gave me Death Star vibes! Cool cover!
ReplyDeleteI like that one!
DeleteI'll have to check Rogue Protocol, and I honestly can't wait to read your thoughts about The Extinction Trials! That one got me intrigued the first time you shared it :D
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW!
I'm about halfway through The Extinction Trials, and while it's very YA-ish I'm enjoying it. I wasn't sure at first but the pages are turning now. :)
DeleteThe 'Hunger Games meets Jurassic Park' thing does put me off as these were all five star books and it raises expectations to a level where I'll probably be disappointed! I do have a sample though.
ReplyDeleteYou know it's not nearly as good as either of those, but plot- wise it's like mashup. and it's a fine book, very YA-ish, but certainly not in the league of those. :)
DeleteOoh interesting! That's a totally new to me one! Hope you enjoy it once you read it!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW
Have a GREAT day!

DeleteThe Hunger Games meets Jurassic Park? Now that's a tagline you don't read everyday. Sounds good!
ReplyDeleteI know, right? Definitely gets the attention, although it sets big expectations too.
DeleteI did catch the return episode of Riverdale last week and don't know what to think about Betty's brother. Also, there is no way Black Hood is dead. Glad you are still enjoying Longmire and if you keep on showing The Extinction Trials, I'm gonna end up buying a copy and then it will be all your fault!
ReplyDeleteOh I do not like her brother! Bad news ha ha! And I think you're right about the Black Hood. That seemed too easy. Longmire I'm about halfway through S4. And The Extinction Trials is good- a fluffy read, nothing awesome, but I'm enjoying it!
DeleteFor the question of the day - I'd cry. Definitely. I would have no clue what to do!
ReplyDeleteYeah that would be crazy right?
DeleteMurderbot Diaries have the BEST covers!! And way to depress me more... #3 and then #2, or is it the other way around?? :D Eh... won't happen... la la la la la la la la la tee hee
ReplyDeleteI know, I really like this one! And yeah keeping 'em straight might be tough, but I hope she keeps writing them cause they're awesome!
DeleteWhat, there's a third Murderbot book already?? If I woke up alone, first I would check to make sure my dogs were still there (just people disappeared, right?) Then I would do a happy dance for a while (I rarely get alone time) then I would probably explore.
ReplyDeleteI think it's August for the third one? And good point- yes I think just people. All our animal friends would still be here (and might lonely I imagine). And ha ha that sounds like a good plan. :)
DeleteFor question of the day: 1 and 4 (stay put and read)! Enjoy the peace and quiet. :)
ReplyDeleteKinda tempting, no?
DeleteThat lipstick cover with the flies - it's more than a bit creepy!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it though- I remember seeing that cover and thinking wow, what's going on in THAT book???
DeleteThe Extinction Trials is one I'm excited for. I'll be interested to see what you think of it.
ReplyDeleteHmm, I think I'd search for others. Although if I had food and water, I might just stay home and read. :-)
Check out my Wednesday Post
I'm about halfway through Extinction and it's not bad.
DeleteAnd I agree- I'd be tempted to read for a while :)
The Exctinction Trials has such a gorgeous cover and certainly sounds like it will be a good one. Definitely need to check out Rogue Protocol now!
ReplyDeleteAs for you question. Don't know what I would honestly. Probably cry, a lot...
The Extinction Trials isn't bad so far- it's definitely very YA but it's quite readable too.
DeleteI definitely would want to find other people!
Rogue Protocol looks good.I hope you are enjoying your current reads! I have my eye on both of those.
ReplyDeleteI'd be so tempted to stay home and read. It would probably take me awhile to realize everyone's gone. I live on such a quiet street. Though, I imagine I would wonder about my husband and daughter and cat if they weren't around and I could not reach them. After awhile, I'd likely search for them at the very least and then others.
Yeah family would need to be found! A quiet world might be nice at times but it would get too quiet?!?
DeleteOooh! All of these books look interesting! Great picks!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my WoW!

Thanks Ronyell!
DeleteThe Murderbot diaries sounds like an interesting series. I'll have to look into that. Hope you enjoy it when you read it!
ReplyDeleteI loved the first Murderbot!
DeleteThey all sound great. Hope you enjoy them a lot.

Thanks Renee!
DeleteOh gosh, that question...probably cry and then look for other people!!

Exactly. A little alone time is nice but that might be a bit much :)
DeleteI am so intrigued by The Extinction Trials. Have an awesome day! :)
ReplyDeleteI am almost done with it and it's so good!!
DeleteI really need to watch Longmire! We are about to start watching The Alienist and I'm really looking forward to it. I loved the book (though all that I really remember about it is that I loved it) so I'm curious to see what they do with it on the screen.
ReplyDeleteI think you'd like Longmire! The only thing I have is I get tired of the mystery of the week angle sometimes- I like those characters so much I want to focus on their subplots!
DeleteArgh, the cover and title for the third book of Murderbot Diaries is out already and the second book is still not available, oh why do they tease me so!

I need more Murderbot!!
DeleteI need to start Murderbot. I am saving it for February because the month is short, and it will then look like I read more books than I really did hahah. Riverdale... yeah, you know my feelings on that. Tonight needs to be better.
ReplyDeleteOkay, to answer your question: I'd absolutely cry for a few minutes. Actually- no, first I would call my mom, then I'd cry, especially if I couldn't get ahold of her. THEN I would probably turn on the TV, scroll through CNN, whatever, trying to figure out what is going on. Then take a drive, I suppose, see if I could scrounge up some humans. If not... back to crying, I suppose :D
Dude you should read Murderbot. Seriously it's bomb. Yeah Riverdale...
DeleteYeah that sounds about right. I mean, I would miss family... most of the time? O.o Then I'd settle into reading *joke*
I totally want to check out The Murderbot Diaries. And for your question of the day, I think instinct would have me go search for others, but it would be very tempting to just stay put and read, lolol.
ReplyDeleteI don´t know any of the books you are displaying. But the cover of Bad Girls With Perfect Faces by Lynn Weingarten caught my eye. Somehow the author´s name sounds familiar. I might have read her in the past. Not sure yet *smile*
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and sorry for my late return visit.
Best wishes
