Sunday Post #315

This was a pretty chill week, all things considered. We did have a storm go through that put 20,000 people out of power, but nothing like what Dorian did to the Atlantic areas. Hope anyone that was affected is doing okay. Other than that not a lot happening around here. I missed my Movies That Suck post this week (again!!) but I promise it'll be up next week on Thursday. Here's a hint of what's coming.

Reading rebounded for me a little this week. I need to get back with the program so I can write a review occasionally lol. I'm kinda eyeing this new show on Netflix though- The Island- that just came out, so maybe I'll be binging that this weekend. 

Oh do you want to know what YA trope you are, based on your zodiac sign? I did! You can check that goodness out on Epic Reads. It turns out that I'm a Chosen One!

    I love the phone box picture! The red against all the grey is so striking. So glad to hear your reading rebounded! It's always so annoying when my reading is off. Have a great week!

    Oh those are some gorgeous horizon shots of alien skies...makes me wish sometimes that we had more than just our singular moon :D And I also really liked the one with the giant manta rays, though I kinda feel nervous for the swimmer there :D

    Crazy cool planet art Greg!! And I'm glad the storm in your area didn't do you harm. It's been crazy weather in the US lately. I need to check out that quiz... I'm honestly probably the chosen one too!

    Glad the storm didn't particularly affect your area!

    Sagittarius people survive the Hunger Games? Erm, whoever came up with that, you have the wrong one. I have a strong temperament, but it doesn't translate well IRL...

    Out of Service made me think of Doctor Who - because of course. I'm only mildly obsessed 🙄 😂.

    Are you talking about The I-Land where they have their memories wiped and it's sort of hunger games like? i totally want to watch it, but currently I'm binging Unbelievable and being outraged. The usual really.

    So, apparently, I am secretly heir to the throne (according to my zodiac sign). I like that. That's terrible about the storm. Was it Thursday by any chance? I know my daughter couldn't fly home because of weather out west. Hard choices - read or binge a series. Decisions, decisions.

    Glad to hear your storm wasn't too bad, but that's still a lot of people without power. 😮

    That first image is superb. 👍✨

    Have a wonderful new week. 🌞

    Happy to hear the storm wasn't too bad.

    Apparently I will sacrifice myself for the greater good :) That trope doesn't bode too well for me :)
    I think the cover of Wilder Girls is very intriguing. I don't know what it is about but for that reason alone I would pick it up.

    Have a wonderful week!

    Glad the storm wasn't to bad, we had a loud one with a heavy down poor but it wasn't to bad either.

    My YA trope is "Think they're plain but actually beautiful" LOL

    Hope you get lots of reading done and enjoy your movie that sucks!

    Have a great week and happy reading,

    Those storms that blew through Michigan were crazy! I feel like the big storms are starting later these days, rather than midsummer they are in the fall.

    I had a less than fabulous reading week too! I will have to check out the Island. :)

    Glad the storm wasn't too bad. We had a wicked storm but thankfully no power out.
    I have my fingers crossed for a reading rebound, I am hoping to get to reading more.

    Have a great week, Greg! Happy Reading!

    LOL! I did binge the I-Land and thought it was fantastic. Really clever idea for a series. I finished The New Girl by Daniel Silva, and worked on my Planner some, all while I suffered with this now 5 month cold. Ugh! Glad you got back into reading a little bit, but I totally understand that sometimes we have to step away. Hope you're doing well! Hugs, RO

    I can't wait to hear what you think about The Island. It sounds interesting.

    We are settling in for a couple more weeks of hot weather followed by more weeks of warm weather.

    Have a great week!

    Glad you managed to stay safe. It seems the weather gets more and more unpredictable each day. I saw The Island too and may check it out. I actually finished up Season 3 of 13 Reasons Why this weekend. It was pretty good but at times because it goes back and forth, I had a harder time following it than in the previous years. Hope you have a wonderful week Greg!

    Glad you safe. Dorian really did a number on many, many people. We are having torrential monsoon rains in one part of the country, with flooding, and the other part of the country severe drought with not even drinking water. Paradox in this tiny country.
