Sunday Post #298



The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer
Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga's Reviews
It's Monday! What Are You Reading is hosted by Book Date 
  
Hello friends and welcome to another weekend. Okay Game of Thrones is making me want the books so bad. I mean, the books are so behind where the show is, but I don't even care- I just want some sanity. It almost makes me want to go back and read all the sample chapters from The Winds of Winter that have been released so far. Speaking of- does anyone else read those?   

In other news- 007 resort wear? Bond casual? I saw this this week. :)   


My first song lyrics post went up and #2 will be this Monday. I'm having a lot of fun with these! I have four already written and picking songs is fun. Also, the Bookish Games Nevernight edition has started. We have the usual first day shenanigans going on, and I seem to be rather under suspicion due to my performance in the Vicious game. I can't believe anyone finds me suspicious! 

I reviewed One Word Kill and The Gondwana Shrine this past week, and also Scooby Apocalyose Vol. 3. Whew! This week will be Movies That Suck: One Million Years BC, and maybe a review for After The Lights Go Out or The Night Before. And of course Song Lyrics 2. 

You Owe Me a MurderAfter the Lights Go OutOne Word Kill (Impossible Times, #1)

    OMG, Sea of Thieves is amazing if you have a group of dedicated friends to play with. When you get into a sea battle with another galleon, so fun and hectic! I'm usually the one bailing water out of our hull because my steering sucks, though sometimes I'll help with the sails and shoot a few cannons at the enemy. Reminds me, I haven't been back in game since around launch, but recently my friend wants to get back into it and apparently a lot of fun content has been added.

    And aw, the Darth Vader's Little Princess book! My daughters have a copy :D

      You've played it?? Oh, I'm so jealous. :) I need to round up a crew of morally compromised sea lubbers and have a go! I love the cannons! Also... as post ideas, is anything more outstanding than sharing pirate-y exploits???

    I so badly want The Winds of Winter right now! So many cliffhangers in A Dance With Dragons, which was a great book. I haven't read any sample chapters as I don't want to see incomplete stuff or stuff that might be removed before publication. I just want to see the shiny new book! The Star Wars ones are funny!

    LOL those Starwars cartoons are made of awesome! I laughed SO hard, thank you for that!
    I haven't watched GoT, nor read the books. I might go watch the show at one point, though - who knows, right?
    I'm off to find your lyric post.
    Have a wonderful weekend and happy reading, Greg!

      Well... funny you should ask. lol I am NOT optimisitc, especially w/ the GoT guys. I thin it's a train wreck, actually. Rian Johnson's involvement didn't wow me also- I wish at this point they'd get some NEW blood.

    I watch the spoilers after the episode is over for game of thrones. lol. I just think they never had a solid way to end it.

    That game is fantastic and one I have always wanted to play. I am the only person I know that plays games and I don't have a lot of friends but I have always wanted to play! :)

    I hope you have a great week, Greg! Happy reading! :)

    I want to go back and reread ASoiaF from the beginning, lol. Have you read Fire & Blood- was wondering if it's a worthwhile read?

    Welp, tonight should be interesting. I have very low expectations at this point, sadly, and am mostly tuning in so I understand all of the memes that are going to erupt on Twitter after the episode airs, lol. This season has been so badly written, and I'm really worried what D & D are going to do with Star Wars. :/

    I hope you enjoy the final of GoT. I don't watch it but I heard of people who went to work early so they could be home to watch the final here tonight. And then someone on radio this morning named old shows that had millions more watching the final of different shows. Oh well when its a show you enjoy do you care!
