I’ve been stressed out this last week due to an upcoming medical procedure so my mind hasn’t been on posting regularly. So I thought I’d just do a quick update post on what I’ve been reading, watching and playing recently.
I got in the mood a week or so ago to reread the Dana Marie Bell’s Maggie’s Grove supernatural romance series. I love those books. While I was reading (devouring) them again for the umpteenth time, I realized that she had a new one coming out on July 22. Big yahoo! So I”m planning on doing a post on the new book specifically and the larger series after I devour it next week. It may be later in the week before I get it posted with everything going on though.
I’ve still been binging on The X-Files when I have time and have gotten to the middle of the 4th season. You know I have to admit that I’m really surprised at how much I’m enjoying it. Are there some episodes that I skim through or downright skip entirely? Yeah. But again I’m surprised at how few of them there have been. For years I guess I’ve had it in my head that it wouldn’t be a re-watchable series at all and I probably won’t go through it on a regular basis like I do my favorite detective TV series but I am definitely enjoying revisiting Mulder and Scully again.
Speaking of binging on TV series in general and The X-Files in particular, with everything going on right now, I decided I needed a palate cleanser and something lighter and stumbled upon this jewel of a TV series while digging around on Amazaon Prime. Bingo, lighter and just plain fun, which is what I need right now. I call Eureka a science fiction cozy mystery series which has disasters of the week instead of murders. Well, mostly the deaths that do occur are accidental but there is the occasional murder I guess. Trying to remember and not coming up with a single one though.
Finally, I started replaying the Lego Lord of the Rings game. Break and build Lego games are the perfect way to take out your frustration without actually killing anything. Much.
I think that pretty much sums up what I’ve been up to in my spare time. What are the rest of you up to?
