Sunday Post #280


The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer

It's Monday! What Are You Reading is hosted by Book Date 
  
So the holidays are over and it's time to settle into a northern winter. Although winter has its own beauty and at least the days are lengthening. I haven't been reading much and the books I had I just wasn't feeling so I decided to reprioritize a bit. The Gone World and the new Lisa Jewell book I guess are gonna take a backseat to a couple other new releases I'm excited for. I'll still get to them. Sometimes you just have to...

In other news I shared Things I Learned from Game of Thrones this past week. That was fun. I also reviewed a Nancy Drew comic and got my Twelve Days of Christmas tag out too. A few weeks late but hey who's counting? This week will be a new Cosmic Covers and I'll review Nancy Drew #2- and maybe I'll liveblog a movie too. We'll see. 

So what's happening in y'all's world?

    That last tiger pic - gorgeous! And we're settling in for the winter too, supposed to get snow this weekend. I braved the grocery lines and stocked up today!

    I haven't read anything so far this year... I just can't settle on anything. I read a bit, stop, move onto something else and repeat.
    Hopefully the slump is temporary and passes as the year improves because so far it kinda sucks.

    You're right about Winter having it's own kind of beauty but I'm now longing for summer. Winter/spring are not my seasons.

    That first full week back is tough, but like you said, at least the days are getting longer. I set aside three audiobooks in a row. So, I guess we were both having trouble settling in this week.

    I wish Brazil was starting to settle into winter. I still have a few more months of supernova heat levels to live through before things go down a few degrees and still feel like the world is going down in fire. The Velma picture is SO cool!

    I will have to change my TBR as well as I doubt I even will have the time to read one book this month. Things just changed so drastically and suddenly this week that I just don't know what to do with myself.

    I hope you'll enjoy the new releases!

    Have a wonderful week Greg!

    Scooby Doo! I was recently talking about Velma on Facebook because we were doing the My Top Five Favorite Detectives post. She was one of mine. 👍✨

    That short film was great. I loved the sound bed. 🚀

    My reading so far this year has been all over the place. I love the Vampironica pic and that Red and the Wolf one is GORGEOUS. I'd love that have a print of that one. Hope you find some books to enjoy this week and I need to reserve No Exit from my library soon!

    I've been keeping track of the daylight hours and loving how quickly the days are getting longer. I have to keep reminding myself that winter has two months to go here though. LOL Enjoy those new reads and have a great week, Greg!

    Yeah, once Christmas and New Year is out the way my brain likes to think it should be spring already... instead the nights are long and I go through my days being cold and experiencing very little daylight. It's a good excuse to stay in and read though. And you go with the mood reading, sometimes the best laid plans with reading are wrong and the best thing you can do is follow your reading mood and get rewarded with some awesome reads.

    Fingers crossed... so far our winter has been very gentle and now the shortest day is behind us, it's lovely to see the days begin to lengthen - although I'm aware the coldest time is still ahead! I only EVER read what I particularly want to at this time of year, Greg! Many, many thanks for sharing that wonderful film - brought tears to my eyes and I've posted it on FB:)) Have a great week.

    I almost can see a retelling story with the Red Riding Hood, I darker one then most people do.
    I tend to make drastic genre changes when I get in a reading mood. I am currently very much into Fantasy since I haven't read it in a while!

    I hope you have a wonderful week, Greg! Happy Reading!

    I started off slow this month with my reading too but then I read one book this weekend so I'm getting caught up a little now.
    Love the gif, gotta love 1980's Tom Cruise.

    I'm watching the Adventures of Sabrina on Netflix lately and the Vampironica pic reminds me of it a little bit.

    Happy weekend and happy reading!

    We have no snow over here - it is so weird! We haven't had any all winter. :(

    Sometimes you have to switch books up if you are not in the mood. I can't stick with a book I am not enjoying or feeling. :)

    I love the Scooby Doo art!

    Ah, winter. It came this week and the entire season went pouring straight into Missouri, LOL. I'm the same way with books - if I don't feel like reading it, I usually reprioritize them, unless they have a deadline soon.

    Putting down books is a good plan. I started my year off with a DNF, and I'm OK with it. It's not always the right time or the right book.

    I'm reading and listening a lot. But I felt a little behind and now I feel more like caught up. It's too many romances with Valentine's Day coming up but I try to switch up my genres. The reading is romances but my listening is thrillers, historical mystery, and scifi. Maybe some slight genre changing will work for you. Have a great week and I hope you find the most amazing reads.
