Sunday Post #324


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 
  
It feels like full- on winter here. We have snow on the ground (just a little) and it's been cold all week (30's/ low single digits C). Looks like January! Although today the sun is out and it's a little nicer, so maybe we have a thaw lol. In other news, SciFi Month is rolling along- hard to believe it (and November in general) are half over. Are you following SciFi Month at all? You can find the schedule here if you want to see everyone's posts. I sadly have not posted anything yet- it's one of those months- but I did post my second Star Wars fanfiction this week. It's called An Old Friend, and picks up where my last one left off- with Luke re- entering the Dark side cave. Because that would be fun, right?

Oh, and the trash pick-up went without a hitch today, apparently.

    Snow! Well, it sounds cool to me, but I've only been in snow a handful of times in my life. Stay warm, Greg!

      Haha that would be something! I sometimes wonder, having grown up with it, what it would be like to only see snow occasionally.

    I don't know where you are exactly, but snow? already?

    We're dealing with rain here - LOTS of rain. Like, it's been raining almost nonstop for 3 weeks now...

    Bummer - I was looking forward to your Sci-Fi Month posts. I did read your Star Wars story though, and I hope you'll manage to squeeze a few more themed posts before it's over!

      I'm in Michigan, and yes... it's way too early!

      Yikes. I hate the gray, rainy days...

      Aw thank you! I do have a few coming up, hopefully, that I can squeeze in before it's over!

    I've read ONE book for SF month! Trying to juggle three different challenges in one month has proved a bit too much! I still hope to look at the other four books I've set aside for this though, fingers crossed!

    Wow, sounds like you skipped fall and went right on to winter. Brrr! I had to laugh at the "romantic" comic covers with the underwater kissing. Seems mighty unromantic to me... I'd be gasping for air. LOL

    It was 19 degrees here in Texas last week. Can you believe it?? Sadly, there was no snow, but everything has been suuuper icy in the mornings. I don't have a windshield scraper, so I get up early and start the car so it can defrost before I have to take my son to school.

    It's been one of those months for me too! It's why I haven't been able to do much blog visiting. My son was sick, then I was sick, and then he got sick again -- ugh. Plus, there's just SO MUCH TO DO during this time of the year.

    I didn't know you were writing fan fiction! Exciting! :)

      Dude, I'm halfway through Wilder Girls and that book is a TRIP.

    Lucky you weren't in the part of MI that got all the snow. They got hammered. It was really cold here this week. Like in the teens, when I was walking to the bus stop, but it's better today. This time last year we had a horrible snow storm, so at least that didn't happen, right? Glad the sanitation workers were able to continue their work without their, er, arm.

    Blimey - snow?? That seems a very steep change from the warm weather you were having in October, or is that just my Brit ignorance talking?

    Yes - I've been loving SciFiMonth and craftily saved up a lot of books I'd read and reviewed to post. But hasn't there been some wonderful sci fi goodness out there? As for your pulp covers - hilarious! It certainly puts a new spin on the phrase 'coming up for air'. Have a great week, Greg:)

    It's becoming cold way too quickly here too. I mean it means it's cozy at home, but it makes me want to never step a foot outside again, so that's not great. :D Another round of amazing graphics! I like the cityscapes, especially the one with the snow (ironically) and the one in the alley with the laundry - makes me want to write something dystopian. I'm doing Nano this month, but I also wrote a fanfic a few days ago for the first time in years haha Have a good week, Greg!

    Snow sounds perfect to me!
    Here is sunny, again! At least it's not so hot anymore.
    It's like our whole planet went mad. I don't remember ever that sunny weather was so looong, ever. It should be winter already!
    I have to admit, I don't follow sci fi month.

    We thankfully only got a dusting of snow then it warmed up a bit! Though I think it was just a tease as it looks like this week is going to be a bit cold again. :(

    Enjoy your new arrival! Happy reading and stay warm!

    I hope you are staying safe and warm. I won't tell you about my weather, other than to say the fog has been bad in the mornings as of late, which makes driving dangerous. I do not think I will be fitting in any science fiction this month, sadly. My reading has kind of fell off a bit as it is. I hope you have a great week, Greg.

    I've been talking about our heat wave here, but last week, NC had what's considered cold weather in the 40's. I was happy of course, but I've lived in North Dakota back in the day, so I wouldn't mind 15-25 degree weather, please(lol). Something about cold weather gives me lots more energy. This week, we'll be back in the 60's and I'm scratching my head, Gorgeous Greg! (lol) Hugs, RO
